I personally believe that cupcakes are God’s way of saying I love you…or apologizing for horrific things in nature like Brussels sprouts or having to work out.  Well, the cupcake just got little bit sweeter with Bella Cupcake Couture and Paper Orchid Stationery

Bella Cupcake Couture offers posh and chic textile-inspired cupcake wrappers. The boutique-style designs add a touch of sophistication and elegance for any special occasion. Carrie envisions the wrappers, which are printed with soy inks on recycled paper, at weddings, bridal and baby showers and as birthday gifts, housewarming gifts and a little treat for yourself.

You could choose the regal lu lu, a beautiful damask print that comes in blue and chocolate or black and white.  There is also the energizing hannah, which comes in citrus and pink or chartreuse and yellow floral swirl.  Bella Cupcake Couture even offer these beauties in a sweet little mini size too!  Be sure to check out their blog for great ideas and tips.

Paper Orchid offers detailed cut-out wrappers with intricate designs to enhance your event vision and theme.  Above:  weaved basket, red stars, lavender butterflies and white rose vine wrappers.  They come in a variety of colors that help you express yourself well beyond your linens and centerpieces.  Paper Orchid also  has some great cake wraps, too! 

 

Most of our brides are still leaning towards the large ornate cakes, but we are finding more of them want sweets bars as a complement later in the evening or for their after party.  If this sounds like something up your alley, definitely look into designing your sweets bar up with cupcake wraps!

Three Ways to Cut Cake Costs

saint simons wedding cakeThe wedding cake you’ve fantasized about can also be the one your wallet says “yes” to. Here are some great ideas for a more affordable – but still gorgeous – wedding cake.

  • Get a smaller cake. Show off the beautiful wedding cake for everyone to see, then have a sheet cake of the same flavor cut in the back.
  • Make mini cakes. Instead of one large cake, split up the cost and ask your baker to make every guest a cupcake of your favorite flavor instead. Top each with something pretty, and build a ‘wedding cake’ tower of your fabulous cupcakes.
  • Offer a dessert bar. Another great way to offer dessert while having a smaller cake: set up a dessert bar with mini pastries and coffee to offset a piece of wedding cake.
