Just a quick note. I just learned that some transportation companies in town are charging a $25 change fee if you make any timeframe changes to your reservation after the reservation is booked. Let me just give my professional opinion on this topic. If you book a mini coach, trolley, limo, etc 6 months prior to your event there WILL be changes to your reservation timeframe as your event gets closer and timelines are finalized with your ceremony location, venue, make up artist, photographer, etc. If you are booking with a company who will require a change fee for any timeframe changes, I would consider looking for a new transportation quote from a new company. Of course, once a transportation contract is made with specific timeframes, your ability to change times will be dependent on any reservations for that particular vehicle before or after your reservation. Changes happen, especially with weddings, as details become more solidified. Be careful to book flexible vendors who work under this philosophy.
If you need someone just to review your details and help you make a final timeline based on your specifics, we can do this for you.

Some of my favorite cakes
We're doing so many cupcakes at weddings this season, that it made me think of how much I truly love wedding cake (the cupcakes are fab too, but I'm a BIG fan of wedding cake). Here's a few pics from over the years. Most are from Sandy Danner of Creative Cakes (her frosting is to die for!) and Michelle Rice of Iced Art (we are big fans of her signature Guava flavor). As you can see, each cake is so very different and I can truly say that each cake reflects the style of that particular wedding.
Remember: A wedding cake doesn't have to be your traditional 4 tier, one flavor cake. Mix up the flavors per tier to provide a variety. Wedding cakes can also become a part of the festivities for all guests, not just the wedding couple. For Elizabeth and Tom's wedding (see second to last photo), we had small cakes on each guest table and each of those tables had a different flavor cake. Guests cut their own slice of cake, then went around to the other tables to try different flavors. Not only was this a blast, but the cakes had another purpose as well...centerpieces!
