Everything but cake

Cutting the wedding cake is undoubtedly a highlight of any wedding celebration. However, in recent years, more and more couples have been looking for alternatives to break out of the traditional wedding celebration a bit and make their big day even more unique. From a variety of flavors to unusual styles, there are plenty of exciting alternatives to the classic cake. Here are some ideas that might wow you and your guests.

2. Cheese wedding cake

For couples who prefer savory delights, a cheesecake is the perfect rustic alternative. A variety of cheeses accompanied by nuts, dried fruit and grapes. It’s guaranteed to be something different! To ensure that every guest gets their full cheese enjoyment, it’s best to have a nice selection of different types of hard, semi-hard and soft cheeses.

3. Ice cream cart

Especially on hot summer days, an ice cream cart is a refreshing alternative. The ice cream cart can be integrated in different styles, from rustic to elegant, depending on the wedding theme. Guests can choose their favorite flavor and enjoy it with customized toppings. Ice cream sundaes and popsicles are not only delicious, but also provide a great opportunity for creative and fun wedding photos of the guests.

Why limit yourself to just one dessert? Instead of one big cake, you can also offer various small treats, especially desserts in a glass or cakepops look very decorative. This also makes it easier to provide desserts for guests with special dietary requirements, such as vegan, gluten-free or certain food allergies. Special desserts can also be provided to match the wedding theme, such as tiramisu at an Italian-inspired wedding.

When choosing an alternative to the wedding cake, it is important to take into account the personal style of the couple and the preferences of the guests. No matter which option you ultimately choose, the main thing is that it fits the celebration and provides an unforgettable culinary experience.

5 Tips for an unforgettable wedding with animals

The wedding is a special day that you want to share with your loved ones. And who is also one of them? Our beloved pets, of course! More and more couples are choosing to include their furry friends in their big day. If you too are planning to have your pets at your wedding, here are a few helpful tips.

1. Consideration for the needs of animals

Not every pet has the same personality. While some love the attention and flash of the camera, other pets are shy and the big commotion might stress them out. Make sure the activity and involvement in the wedding is appropriate for your animals. Also organize someone to take care of your animals, provide enough exercise, food and water.

2. Outfits for your pets

Dressing your pets in appropriate outfits can not only be eye-catching, but is also a wonderful addition to your ceremony. Have custom outfits made for your loved ones that match your wedding theme or colors. Remember that the clothes must be comfortable and safe.

3. Role in the ceremony

Your animals could play an important role in the ceremony. From ring bearer to flower girl or your own horse instead of the wedding car – there are no limits to your creativity. However, plan ahead and train your loved ones to perform the tasks without stress.

4. Pet-friendly wedding location

If you want to include your animals in the wedding, you should choose a pet-friendly location. Find out in advance about the venue’s rules regarding animals and make sure that the needs of your animals can be met, be it with a safe area to play or even for rest breaks.

5. Shooting with animals

A bridal couple or getting ready shoot with your pets is especially adorable. This is also the perfect solution if you have a special pet and it can not be at the wedding party. Especially if you dress your animals in matching outfits or accessories, this is a real highlight of the shooting.
