Wedding Cake

Dear Elle,

I am getting married in July and have finally got round to trying to pick the Wedding cake. We have opted for a traditional style wedding, the church, horse and carriage, top hats etc. But ... but my Fiance and myself really don't like fruit cake and my Mum keeps telling me that fruit cake is traditional and it won't be a traditional wedding if we don't have fruit cake.

Is what she is saying true? What can I do?

Thanks,

Imogen

Choosing the colours for your Wedding can be a very important decision. Particularly as you base most of the decisions for the big day on them, everything from the colour of the bridesmaids dresses to the Wedding flowers, its very important to get it right the first time!

Firstly consider the colours you like. If you love Orange put it on the list, equally though, if you hate Orange cross it off. Come up with your top 5 or 6 colours so you have some options to consider. read more »

You may already have in mind the type of food you would like at your Wedding. You may know whether you would like your Wedding Breakfast to be a BBQ, a sit-down 7-course cuisine extravaganza, or maybe you would prefer an intimate meal with only a selection of your guests and close family.

It's your wedding day, so you need to choose what you would prefer, however, bear in mind the food is one of the major parts of the day to the wedding guests, and is quite often one of the most talked about aspects of your wedding day.
