If you're looking for subtle wedding decorations that won't
break your budget, votive candles may be the answer. Votives
provide atmosphere and elegance on reception tables. Matching
candles to your wedding's theme can be quite a task, but
making your choice by thinking in seasonal context may help
you in your search.
Summer
When you think summer, you think vacation. Warm weather.
Swimming, beaches, bathing suits . . . Why not drop in a
splash of the shore on your special day? Add starfish and
seashell votive holders to your table and imagine sea breezes,
boardwalk sights and romantic evening strolls listening
to the waves. Each tealight holder is hand-painted at the
base to resemble the sandy dunes, sprinkled with starfish
and seashells, and includes a candle and organ. Cupcake
wedding cakes have become increasingly popular. In the last
year more and more weddings have been featuring cupcakes
as their wedding cakes.
Why is this? The display is very, very eye appealing. The
stacks of layers of cupcakes are a beautiful sight to see
for the guests to see as they walk in. Wedding couples adore
the cupcake display for their cakes for a variety of reasons.
Retro- Everyone remembers having cupcakes at birthdays
from their childhood. There are reminiscent and nostalgic
deserts that can trigger those oh so fun "Remember
when" conversations. People love telling those kinds
of stories, and given the nature of the event are sure to
tell a few of the younger bride and groom.
Cute - They are just adorable. Iced with
delicious frosting beautiful sprinkles and individually
wrapped just for you.
Colors- Cupcakes give the decorators a lot more options
for color. The decorators can easily coordinate the color
scheme with the frosting with a wider variety of cakes to
ice and color to match the decor of the reception hall.
Flavor - The advantage of the cupcake
gives the availability to use more flavors. With cake, you
are locked in to a certain number of flavors, but with cupcakes
you can spread your wings on the amount of flavors you can
present to your guests and give them more variety. Guests
who enjoy a lemon or carrot flavor in their cake now have
that option should they want those flavor options for dessert.
Versatility - Cupcakes are significantly
easier to transport. There is a much greater margin for
error transporting trays of cupcakes than there is with
transporting layers and layers of cakes. The decision to
go with cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake can
further put the couple’s mind at ease that there will
be nothing structurally wrong with their decorative desert
on the most important day of their lives. Choosing cupcakes
also gives your guests a chance to choose from a variety
of flavors.
Size - There are two sizes that cupcakes
come in for guests to choose from. Guests can choose from
the traditional size of a cupcake or a larger size, almost
like that of a muffin.
Cost - Choosing cupcakes over a conventional
cake is also a great way to cut cost and make the wedding
more cost effective, without sacrificing any elegance. This
is a perfect method to staying within a tight budget for
your wedding.
The last part of the decision process is deciding how to
go about displaying the cupcakes. One of the most popular
methods of displaying cupcakes is to display them in the
shape of a tree. The display will look as beautiful as a
fully decorated Christmas tree. Another option could
be to cascade them down rows to resemble a flowing majestic
waterfall.
If the couple still wants to stick with the tradition of
a bride and groom cutting a cake, they can arrange for a
smaller cake to be made so a photographer can take that
picture of a bride and groom cutting the cake.
Autumn
The trees are radiant with orange, crimson and gold late
in the year. While leaves twirl in the air, you'll twirl
on the dance floor as newlyweds. And if a few leaves happen
to fall on your reception tables, they'll add a passionate
splash of color to your celebration. Our 2" x 2"
autumn candles feature a golden base adorned with leaves
and will remind your guests of hayrides, sweet apple cider
and warm pumpkin pie.
Winter
In winter, the snowdrifts are pure and dazzling, and you
want your wedding to sparkle, too. Snowman candle favors
are a cute and playful way to impart the magic of the season.
Every frosted glass candle holder is rounded at the bottom,
painted brilliant white and festively decorated with tiny
snowflakes and a snowman dressed just for your special day,
with a scarf, indigo top hat, mittens, and heart-shaped
buttons. For December weddings, mix in some jolly Holiday-themed
candle votives, featuring evergreen Christmas trees, peppermint-striped
candy canes and frosty snowmen!
Spring
Spring brings butterflies, April showers and beautiful Easter
lilies. Our calla lily tealights feature three flowers nestled
against a lovely base, glittering stones and are individually
packaged with silky organza ribbon. These favors will add
warmth to your reception, as well as to your guests' homes.
Our butterfly-themed votive has a white porcelain base,
with gorgeous butterfly and flower-shaped openings for your
light will shine through. Each is rimmed with gold to bring
a little ray of sunshine your tables.
