Traditional or cupcake wedding cake?
I was recently told by a friend that having a cupcake wedding cake was tacky and looks cheap. This of course hurt my feelings a little especially when she wasn't even apologetic about it. My thinking is why pay $500 for a half eaten wedding cake? What do you guys think? Was she in the wrong? Are cupcake wedding cakes in? Should I pay for a traditional wedding type cake? I need a little bit of direction on this. Please help :)
What are some creative, non-traditional, and inexpensive wedding ceremony and reception ideas?
Antipolo catering servicesLet your wedding site inspire the theme of the weddingIf you are holding a garden wedding, then let the rest of the wedding aspects follow. Incorporate floral arrangements into your hair, wear a garden dress instead of the traditional wedding trail when you are walking down the aisle and so on. Having a general theme dictates how the rest of your wedding will look like and would additionally give it a more organized feel.Have facts about your “firsts” printed on every table for guests to readThis can include as many of the fond memories you and your spouse had made over the time you had spent together as a couple before you got married.

Wedding Reading/Poem.?
On Your Wedding Day Author Unknown Today is a day you will always remember The greatest in anyone's life You'll start off the day just two people in love And end it as Husband and Wife It's a brand new beginning the start of a journey With moments to cherish and treasure And although there'll be times when you both disagree These will surely be outweighed by pleasure You'll have heard many words of advice in the past When the secrets of marriage were spoken But you know that the answers lie hidden inside Where the bond of true love lies unbroken So live happy forever as lovers and friends It's the dawn of a new life for you As you stand there together with love in your eyes From the moment you whisper 'I do' And with luck, all your hopes, and your dreams can be real May success find it's way to your hearts Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys But today is the day it all starts.
How do I find a good non-traditional wedding planner in Manhattan?
Actually, we did end up doing most of the planning ourselves. Planners seem to charge at least $10k. We hired a "coordinator" to just deal with issues day of:Emily EventsShe did offer planning services, but only a limited amount of it, for not cheap. Also, we hired a decorator who looked at the space and helped us iron out a concept:Katerina MelnikovaThe rest mostly fell into place one way or another, but... well, it was an ordeal. If it's going to involve the standard 15-20 or so vendors, start working on everything a year in advance and you should be okay.So in general, unless you're okay with spending a considerable sum, you can't get around doing most of it yourself, and I'd advise you to not expect things to go as you requested/planned, unless the details are in the contracts.
