Do you have to have a wedding cake at your wedding?
The bride doesn't have to have a wedding cake at the reception if she doesn't want one and can serve other desserts, but it's tradition and the first cut of a wedding cake is made by the bride with the groom's hand over hers to cut the first slice. If it's a matter of money a two to three tiered cake can be made (most wedding cakes are anywhere from chocolate cake; white cakes; carrot cakes, etc. and wedding cake stands for each tier can be bought at Michael Crafts or any craft store) and then taken to a bakery for the icing. To save more money the cake can be decorated by the person who baked it once iced with some fresh flowers instead of flowers made from icing. In fact, if the bride's mother or any relative is good at baking they can make the cake, ice it and then decorate it with the flowers.

Finding The Perfect Beach Wedding Gown?
Many brides today are opting for something a little less traditional when they exchange vows with their spouses. While a number of brides are still going the traditional route, with a ceremony indoors with all the decorative bang for their bucks, a growing number are heading outside - particularly to the beach. Beach weddings are becoming more and more popular as brides are looking at more casual affairs with fewer frills and more natural wonder. With the majority of the decorations taken care of by Mother Nature, the biggest wedding ceremony detail left for the bride to plan is her dress. The first thing the bride-to-be should consider is the weather. Most beach weddings take place in warmer climates, such as Hawaii or the Caribbean islands, or during the spring and summer months closer to home. Walking down the aisle in the sunlight is a beautiful idea that can go bad quickly if the bride chooses a heavy gown. Beach weddings call for lighter designs without layers of tulle, heavy beading, high necks or overly long sleeves. Comfort is key at beach weddings, for the bride as well as the guests. When choosing a beach wedding gown, the bride should also consider the tone of the wedding. A large number of beach weddings are of a more laid back style, and the bride can wear a less formal gown and still shine on her day. Others are just as posh and luxurious as indoor ceremonies, and require a more upscale dress. In either case, gowns can be found to match the tone of the wedding as well as the warm, outdoor location. Gowns most commonly donned by a bride for a beach wedding are, in most cases, not the typical, traditional style in most cases. Few brides want to walk across the beach in a sand-skimming skirt with layer upon layer of tulle. These brides are looking to go barefoot and should show off that wedding day pedicure with a light, simple and usually short to mid-length skirt that shows a little (or a lot) of leg. The perfect beach wedding gown exists for every bride. All it takes is some decisions by the bride on location and ceremony tone, and, of course, a lot of shopping.
