Wal-Mart Cakes
I KNOW this will come across as cheap...BUT, we ordered our wedding cake (for our vow renewal) from Wal-Mart. It was less than $150 and simply stunning. A lady from my church gave us FRESH gardenias from her flower garden to top each layer. We have had SO many compliments on that cake. No one believed that it was from Wal-Mart!
Our vow renewal was small (only 100 attendees), but everyone ate and ate, and we took two of the three cakes home. I could not believe how much cake we got for the money.
<Grin, we also had a chocolate sheetcake!>
For our first wedding, we had a cake decorator to make and bake our cake. It was in the shape of the church where we were married, complete with stained glass windows, interior lighting to show the stained glass, a bell tower, and a staircase with individually hand-painted figurines of all of the wedding party (I had 13 female attendants alone!). It was a rich butter cake with rasberry layers. It was very costly, but awesome. We had 450 attendees for our first wedding.
I argee about the phorographer. Spend the money on the photographer. make sure to ask BEFORE you book a photographer if your family can take snapshots of each pose.
