destination wedding – A Tropical Theme Wedding Cake Makes Your Destination Wedding Even More Exotic and Adventurous
Wherever you decide to have your beach destination wedding, a tropical theme wedding cake makes your day exotic and special. Top off a traditional wedding, destination wedding or beach wedding with a colorful tropical theme wedding cake.
Having a wedding with a beach theme sounds really cool and exciting already and your guests will immediately give you the I-should-go-there looks on their faces by the time they encounter the two magical and enthralling words, beach plus wedding in the invitation card.
Your decorations should include island colors such as turquoise, hot pink, yellow and orange. Fragrant flowers everywhere are an important part of your island theme. Include gardenias, hibiscus, bamboo, plumeria and orchids. Add fountains, balloons, garlands and streams for a festive flair.
Fun favors get your guests involved in your tropical wedding theme. Give out leis to welcome your guests and flip flops to wear at the reception. Hand out tiny bottles of bubbles so everyone can pretend they are blowing bubbles at the beach.
Before your fabulous themed wedding cake is served, you will want an island dinner featuring meals from Hawaii, Jamaica and the Bahamas. Choose foods served at your honeymoon destination to bring your theme full circle. Tasty meal options including coconut shrimp, jerk chicken and roasted pork. When everyone is done with the meal, you can serve that irresistible beach theme wedding cake.
Everyone will watch your tropical theme wedding cake during the reception and it will be the focal point of all the cake cutting ceremony pictures and videos. Colors and flavors should be sensational, such as a pineapple flavored cake with edible tropical flowers and whipped cream. A cupcake tower is another eye-catching option and you can use a variety of colors, flavors and toppings.
Special accessories add to the island feeling of your tropical theme wedding cake. Seaside utensils are simply perfect for cutting and serving the cake. Special cake toppers make the appearance of any cake more beach like.
Feel faraway where you are with a tropical breeze cake topper. If you have your wedding at the beach, a starfish cake topper brings the day to the top of your cake. For a destination wedding, choose a cake topper that resembles you by having a beach bride and groom. Any cake topper you choose will become a lasting keepsake of your destination theme wedding when the day is over.

5 Cool Reasons To Have A Winter Wedding!
First, answer these two questions: Is the glass half empty or half full? Is winter a cold, grim, unfriendly season or a magical, holiday-filled, exhilarating season? As always, attitude is everything, and if you’re a couple who sees the glass half full, you should have no hesitation about planning a winter wedding. Believe it or not, there are lots of excellent reasons to have your wedding in winter. Let’s start with these five:
Lower Costs
‘Tis not the wedding season, so ‘tis the season to be jolly! Why? Because you’ll pay lots less for your venue, caterer, limo service, photography/videography, and other wedding essentials. The fact that winter is their slow season will give you greater leverage in negotiating budget-friendly prices with wedding vendors.
Greater Availability
It doesn’t get much better than this! Lower costs and more choices for everything! The fabulous, must-have caterer who was booked solid for spring and summer is dying to talk to you now! Same for venues, photographers and everyone else. Of course, you don’t want to wait until the last minute to start planning, because other couples will be reading this and getting the same idea.
Ready-Made Themes
Think of the treasure trove of themes for a winter weddingדThe Night Before Christmas” for a Christmas eve wedding, “New Year Newlyweds” for a New Year’s Eve wedding, “Two Hearts” (a Kylie Minogue song) for a Valentine’s Day wedding. There’s always “Winter Wonderland,” “Winter Love,” “A Winter Wedding” and any you might come up with yourself. Winter sports fanatics might be able to incorporate their favorite winter sport into their wedding theme.
Destination Wedding Heaven
Here’s the beauty of a winter destination wedding—if you live in the northern part of the US, where winters are bitterly cold and deep in snow, your guests (and you!) can catch a break with a destination weekend wedding on a warm, sunny beach in the Caribbean or Hawaii. If your home is in the deep South or Southwest, where winters are mild or downright hot, and you love to ski and rarely see snow, your destination might be a ski resort in Colorado or Vermont. One sweet season, two terrific options!
Guest Availability
Most people take vacation time from work in the summer, when kids are out of school, a
1000
nd during the winter, for the holidays. Lots of people get up to two weeks of paid time off at this time of year, so your out-of-town guests might be more inclined to accept your wedding invitation if it means they won’t have to take unpaid time from work. More family! More friends! More fun!
There really is something magical about winter weddings—twinkling lights, a universal feeling of joy and the hopes of a new beginning with a new year and a new life!
