Cheap Wedding Cakes - Start early and get it right.

There are always ways of reducing the cost of the wedding cake, below are a few of my favourites but there are many more. All you have to do is give it a little thought, so start early and enjoy the process.

1. Make your own wedding cake - granted this is probably not for the faint hearted, but if you know your way around a baking bowl then it is a cheaper option. You will need to know the guest numbers so that you can get the size of the cake right. There is nothing worse than having a cake that will feed 60 guests when you have invited 100!

2. Buy the cake - most of the large retail outlets such as Marks and Spencer etc sell wedding cakes and plain fruit cakes that can then be decorated to your own taste.

3. Alternative cakes - make or buy fondant or chocolate cakes and have them decorated to suit. More and more brides are choosing this in addition to the traditional fruit cake. For example a bottom tier of fruit cake a middle tier of fondant and a top layer of chocolate cake. That way you can cater for all your guest’s tastes.

4. Food allergies - always ask your guests to advise you of any food allergies so that this can be taken account of when baking the cakes.

5. Get the wedding cake design right - it is easy to get carried away with fancy and intricate designs, but bear in mind that the more detailed the design the higher the bill will be. In my humble opinion less is more. Simple wedding cakes can look stunning.

Wedding Aisle Decorations

They are not essential, but they will help lift the venue. You should also consider your guests, who will likely have been sitting in the venue for some time waiting for you to arrive. So they will have lots of time to look around and drink in all the decorations.

As with everything in my website, the individual items do not have to be expensive or over the top. Check out my articles on cheap wedding aisle decorations and cheap wedding pew decorations for lots of simple ideas on how to decorate your service location without breaking the bank.

Tip of the month.

No matter what aspect of your wedding you are currently thinking about (I know, you are constantly thinking about 50 items at once). The best advice I can offer for all the aspects of your wedding is to plan early.

There are some items that will require more time than others and my wedding checklist will help you get them in the right order, but do start early. If you get an item sorted early there is no harm dome but if you run out of time you will be overly stressed and end up settling for something that you would otherwise not have chosen.

Final Thought

Hopefully it will have given you a boost to kick-start you wedding plans and get you fired up to achieve an equally beautiful wedding but on a fraction of the budget. Trust me it can be done.
