Activity for Candace

So, I love cake. I dreamed about the wedding cake so much. I think I tried out 5 bakeries and fawned over the details more than my dress. And actually paid more for the cakes! I had a 3-tier 6"8"10" with different flavors - fresh blackberry filling...

My wedding is over and I'm very happy with the way everything went. Everyone had a great time and my groom and I loved everything about it! I did my best to think of everything in my planning, but that is impossible. I had a wedding coordinator who...

I woke up at the break of dawn this morning with all my lists flashing before my eyes. I don't believe I could possibly have thought of anything else to be prepared, but I doubt that's true! I have this weekend to take inventory of decor and pack it...

I'm very excited about my bouquet and paying a pretty penny for it. It will have flowers that are meaningful to us and I have a charm with my grandparents' photos to hang from it. I'm thinking about setting up some table space by the welcome table to...

Debating whether we want ushers at all. Initially, I wanted to assign teenage girls in my circle, my niece and two daughters of my friends. I thought it would be cute and would give them a small wrist courage. I haven't asked yet as I'm not sure what...

I never thought about the bridal consultant, but I was out on the spot. My daughter is recently engaged and in her excitement, picked out a wedding dress yesterday. We both put money down on it, and the card machine gave the option of tipping 5%,...

I've scoured the internet, Pinterest, and Insta for ideas but I can't seem to find enough pictures. There will be string lights in the trees over the ceremony seating. I have an idea to use string lights on chair-height shepherd hooks down the aisle...

The ceremony is outside under shade trees about 50 yards from reception building (dance hall) Mariachis begin ceremony music outside at ceremony site at 5:30 when guests start arriving. Procession to start at 6 putting the ceremony to end around...

If you're having a groom's cake, do you reduce the size of your wedding cake? Let's say I'm planning for 130 guests. If I have a groom's cake that serves 50, should I keep the wedding cake at a 130 serving size? Or reduce it to say 90 servings...

Our venue is an old dance hall with no room in the bar fridges to keep 20 bottles of champagne cold. How do you keep your champagne cold or do you? I'm considering a table just for the champagne. Should I put them in ice buckets? And did you set out...

My FH's birthday will be during our honeymoon. I want to plan ahead something special for him since we'll be so focused on the wedding. We'll be at an all-inclusive resort in Mexico. We would probably have a nice dinner and drinks to celebrate and...
