Wedding cakes are an important aspect of the wedding day and reception. People would be surprised if you did not have one. A reason why it has been part of tradition to have one for a very long time is because these cakes bring with them great symbolism regarding the couple's wedding day and future married life. It is only fitting then, all who are aspiring to be married choose one that is special to them, and is, at the same, practical in all aspects. We will look at two of these aspects. They are your budget and the suitability of your cake (appropriateness to the occasion).
As it normally is with all weddings, a universal concern is the budget. How much of your budget are you allocating for the cake? If you are struggling to stay within your budget and do not have much room for added expenses, the wisest thing to do is to check wedding cake prices from several different cake shops. Your cake does not have to be the nicest one in the store. As long as it is fine looking and fits your budget, then that may be the one you wish to choose.
It really does not make sense for anyone to over spend on an expensive cake, and later on regret it. Do not fall into the trap of getting the most extravagant cake to keep up with the Jones'. You need to consider married life after the ceremony.
Another thing you need to look at is the cake's suitability. Are you holding a traditional wedding? If yes, customization of the cake is not that appropriate. In this case, you should look for advice from your parents or future in-laws. But your safest bet here is to get a traditional cake. These are usually a plain white color without a lot of additional decoration. Don't think of a traditional style as plain, rather you should think about it as simple and elegant. On the other hand, if your wedding is non-traditional and you want it to be relaxed and modern, you can opt for the more modern wedding cakes. You can customize them to suit your needs. But then again, the first concern is usually with the budget. So be sure to choose this style only if it fits your budget.
These are two of the most important things to consider before choosing a cake for your wedding. Keep these in mind as you make your selection and you should find the perfect wedding cake for your special day.
