** Wednesday Wedding Tip**

Simple to Sensational

I am a big fan of Understated Elegance. I love beautiful things and unique weddings. This weeks Simple to Sensational Tip is:

Your Wedding Cake or Not!

Cake has always been a staple at most wedding receptions! A sensational twist is to forgo the typical cake as dessert and choose an alternative. I promise you that every guest will be surprisingly pleased and will definitely be talking about how unique and personalized your wedding was. Pick a dessert that is yours and your finance’s favorite and have fun with it!

Here are 5 of my Chic Alternatives:
1. Ice Cream Sundae’s - create an ice cream bar where your guests can create their own Sundae! This is a great idea for Summer Weddings!
2. Cookies. With so many varieties of cookies you are sure to please every guest. Offer ice cold milk for dunking!!
3. Pie. Pick your favorite flavors and create a buffet of slices of pie and serve with whip cream and a scoop of ice cream!

4. Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Snowballs, Suzy Q’s & Ho Ho’s!! - If you want to be a little wacky and fun! This will truly be an unexpected treat!

5. My favorite, hire a Crepe’ Chef and serve fresh crepes made to order by your guests!!

If you still would like to experience the traditional “Cake Cutting” at your reception have a small cake made so you can still have the tradition of cutting the cake with your groom! Have them box up the rest for a late night honeymoon snack!
