There are always seems to be dates that are more popular than other in a given wedding season. Brides are beginning to book into the month of October. The traditional “Season” slows down after September, and if you can wait a month or more, you can possibly realize significant savings!

Holly Smokes Susan…..your cakes were just out of this world!!!!  Everyone loved them and loved the choices….Jenn especially liked the bikini one!!! (me too!)  Thanks for bringing the shower right over the top!!!.

Hello Susan,

We were just discussing your proposal over the weekend. I would like you to know that we LOVED the cake that you gave us to sample. You make a wonderful cake!

PC Marys Style #8258 Retail: $995. Dress is Size 10, and unaltered.
Details: Magnificent Diamond white satin A-Line gown, with spaghetti straps; metallic re-embroidered lace appliques, beaded throughout, v-front, side pleated floor length gown with beautifully detailed scalloped edging. There is an exquisite detachable royal train.

The reason I am selling this dress is; I ordered it from the catalog without trying it on as the bridal salon did not have a sample to try on. They then ordered it 2sizes two big. By the time the dress came in, I lost weight and have continued to do so, so now the dress is even bigger and would require major alterations to fit properly. So I have decided to part with this dress and buy one that will fit me. I absolutely adore this dress, and anyone that sees it will as well. The pictures do not give the detail justice. I have tried this dress on twice, once at the shop where the pictures where taken and then at the seamstress. The dress comes with a matching satin wrap, and a matching bridal purse. I also have the matching veil, which is finger tip length- and absolutely gorgeous. It was $90. I also have a tiara, which was $65.

I paid $1,150 for everything, but I understand that I will need to sell it for half of that, which is fine- I just would rather see the dress make someone elses wedding spectacular. This dress is truly a stunning design creation.
It is flattering for all body types- and will make you look & feel like a princess.

Please email me with any questions. I am willing to drive as far as Manchester to deliver to a serious buyer. Otherwise I could also ship everything USPS, at buyers expense (approx$25 due to weight) I am also open to reasonable offers.

I am sitting here, going over e-mails, on a typical Saturday morning. I think about the places I will be going to today and the timing of the cake deliveries and I wonder, what are the brides doing at this same time? What is The Most Important Thing you will want/have to do in the morning before your ceremony? Do you have every last detail figured out or are you still crossing things off your list? Is the weather co-operating? Will the guest you absolutely had to have come, going to make it? Is the relative you hope won’t be attending able to fit you into their tight schedule? How ever things are going for you, right now, I wish the the most memorable day ever!Susan

Have some flexibility with your colors when working with your baker. The color red, for instance, is very hard to create in butter cream. Some colors can intensify over time; other colors can fade when put into fondant or royal icing. A good baker can match the color you are looking for. It is the shade or tone of the color that can vary.

I have had brides ask for a sugar free wedding cake. This is somewhat of an  oxymoron. Even if I use a sugar substitute in the cake mix, the butter cream is a combination of ingredients that include butter and powdered sugar. I always have an option of fresh fruit or sugar free jell-o for those guests who may not be able to tolerate  sugar. If it is the bride or groom, I decorate the cake in such a way that the slice they cut into has minimal frosting on it.

The delivery time of your wedding cake comes from a few things. If you are putting fresh flowers on the cake, then the cake needs to be at the reception location in time for the florist. If there is more than one wedding at the reception location, then there will be a window of time that the cake needs to arrive in. Your baker should be working with these vendors to confirm the best time. One more detail you can cross off your “to do” list!

Make sure your wedding coordinator knows your vendors. If you have not hired a professional to take care of the details, make sure the contact at your wedding reception has all the information. If the coordinator has not heard of a vendor, take the time to second check this vendor. This is a one way to find out if you have made a good choice in your selection.

While you are in the middle of your wedding planning, make sure you take the time to have some fun!  The actual day will go by so quickly so make sure you enjoy yourself during the planning.  Every wedding is unique and you can get lost in trying to plan every little detail.  Take the time to relax, connect with old friends, go to a spa and pamper yourself after a long day of calling wedding vendors.
