UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES Everyone who has a special event wants for those memories to last an entire life, so choosing a good photographer is one of the most important bearings because capturing every experience during our event is in their hands.

N

owadays there are thousands of photographers to choose and it’s important to know what we want and not what others tell us as many times there are often disappointments. So the first thing you have to decide is: WHAT IS MY ST YLE? There is a popular saying that says: “the beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, that’s why at the time of choosing the photographer you have to keep in mind what style you want. If the classic poses, expressionless poses (where the person doesn’t know someone is taking the photo) or modern poses (funny or less common poses).

WHAT WOULD I LIKE TO REMEMBER? A lot of photographers count with packages, so it is necessary to know what do you want in your photo album. If you only need photos of your ceremony or maybe pre-ceremony sessions.

HOW MANY DO I NEED? These days photographers offer packages including physical or digital photos, as well as the amount of photos they will hand to you. A lot of them usually

give you 100 photos, but thy can go up to 2,000. It all depends on the photographer.

GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER You should know what the photographer is going to turn in after your party is over, as there are some that will only give you a cd which you won’t be able to show your loved ones. Others don’t have the experience of correcting, changing color, cropping and they might hand you photos you’ll never want to show.

KNOW YOUR BUDGET It’s worth knowing your budget when hiring a photographer, because your event’s photography takes approximately 12% of it. So before deciding know the cost of the photographer you are hiring.

RESEARCH It’s important to know who you are hiring, check their portfolios, ask friends or family, ask for their experience and ask about due dates for your photos.

CONFIRM YOUR DATE Don’t forget to confirm with your photographer date and time of your event. We recommend to talk 3 or 6 months before the event and confirm again 1 or 2 weeks before to make sure they are committed.

6 HOT WEDDING

CAKE

JUST ABOUT ANYTHING CAN INSPIRE YOUR WEDDING CAKE DESIGN... THE BEAUTIFUL ORNATE MOLDING IN YOUR BALLROOM VENUE, YOUR JOINT LOVE OF MODERN DESIGN, OR EVEN THE PATTERN FROM THE CHINA YOU JUST REGISTERED FOR. HERE, A FEW TRENDS TO HELP INSPIRE YOUR CUSTOM CAKE. (YOUR BAKER CAN HELP WITH THE REST.)

METALLIC CAKES

Metallics are big for stationery, and for wedding cakes as well. “We’re not talking about a gold and silver vintage style, but more a stylized glam, art-deco, old-Hollywood look,” says Betsy Thorleifson of Nine Cakes in New York City. The best part about metallics?

They can adapt to any style; delicate embroidery in gold feels opulent while geometric shapes give off a fresh, modern feel. If an entire tier is too much glitz for you, consider adding a little sparkle all over. Fine edible glitter (think: pixie dust) can add a decorative sheen to your cake without overpowering the whole design.

NAKED CAKES

Yep, you read that right. With the deconstructed cake, you get to show off the inside. For a summertime wedding, berries work well; in winter and fall, ask your baker to fill the layers with seasonal fruits, like apples, pears, persimmons or even blood oranges. “The exposed cake and filling of the naked cake appeal to both the eyes and the stomach,” says John Rusk of Alice’s Tea Cup in New York City.

WOODLAND WEDDING CAKES

Earthy, whimsical wedding themes are hot this year, so it’s no wonder this same aesthetic is big for wedding cakes too. “Millennials are much more into having the taste of the cake be as good, if not better, as the look of the cake,” says Amy Noelle of Sugar Flower Cake Shop in New York City. To get the look, choose an edible white or ivory color and accent it with fresh or lifelike sugar flowers and leaves. The display can really help you carry out the look here too. One pretty idea is to order a simple white cake and place it on top of a wooden tree ring decorated with moss and leaves.

RUFFLED CAKES

For a seriously elegant look, skip the bold patterns and add-ons in favor of subtle embellishments with allover sugar ruffles. The look is light and airy and needs very little added detail. Finish it off with fresh flowers in between each tier or a few sugar flowers on top. “Frills are at home in every type of reception, from avant-garde to country chic,” says Maggie Austin of Maggie Austin Cake in Alexandria, Virginia.

WHITE-ON-WHITE WEDDING CAKES

A white wedding cake is always in good taste. The fresh new way to do a white wedding cake is to add interesting all-white embellishments. Dress up tiers with details, like piped embroidery or jeweled embellishments (we love petals or even pearls).

“Nontraditional shaped tiers, like hexagons and ovals, make the cake a little more out of the ordinary,” says Jen Roberts of Sweet Element Cakes in East Orange, New Jersey. Cascades of sugar flowers are great for adding dimension too.

PAINTED WEDDING CAKES

Take a cue from what many invitation designers are doing and ask your cake baker to get a little artsy with your cake design.

We’re talking marbleized cakes, stainedglass painted cakes and even Monetinspired wedding cake designs. Pair those hand-painted tiers with solid-colored layers or even simple flower accents.

Quick tip: For a cake design that’s so intricate, keep the tiers simple and stick to all one shape (either all classic round tiers or all square).
