OFF BEAT BRIDES

Aloha!

I love weddings. Everything about them are wonderful. From the planning stage to designing all the details to the the couples. Love is a wonderful thing and I know it sounds cheesy but it is. The only thing anyone truly needs is to love and to be loved. Its probably the best feeling to me.

One thing I like about wedding and making wedding cakes is meeting the couple and really getting to learn who they are and how we can make the wedding cake unique just like them. Some couples bring pictures of cakes, some bring the invitation and others have no idea what they want. The traditional cakes are great, simple, white, flowers. But sometimes you get brides who want a little something different. And that is always fun, a lot of colors, shape, designs...... But then you get the OFF BEAT BRIDES. These are the brides that want it totally off the wall and different. And I enjoy throwing these wedding in the mix. It shakes things up, makes people talk a little more. Back in August I made a cake for a client, who I should say now is becoming a friend. She orders from me every chance she gets...Thanks Cely. Anyway, her and Trevor had there wedding on August 2, 2008. She contacted me months prior about her cake. I have blogged about this wedding before. She did a pirate theme wedding. Everything was "piratey" as Cely put it. The officiant who married them was even dressed like a pirate. And I don't mean like a costume you get around Halloween time. This was unique, I thought I stepped back in time to a new place. It was awesome and i was so excited to be a part of this experience.

Anyway, No one says you have to have a traditional wedding. Tradition is good but these days a lot of couples are very unique. Lots of girls have tattoos, some have piercings, some dress different then mainstream. I mean that's how I am. and why should you change? Couple should have whatever they want and feel ashamed of who they really are. And I see a lot of people breaking out of that traditional mold and I love it.

So if you are one of those brides there is an awesome website for you to check out. Its called OFF BEAT BRIDE and they can be found at http://offbeatbride.com/. You can find tips and information on how to stick to who you really are. Its a great website. I like to share these things because I know sometime couple get lost along the way and there is nothing wrong with being unique and having a wedding that reflects who you are!
