iLoveThese Wonderfully Unique Cakes

It's been a while since I posted on cakes. Here is the first of three iLoveThese inspirations for unique cakes for your wedding reception.

iLoveThese Unique Centrepieces for Spring!

A huge apology to the loyal readers of i-Weddings.com.au for the extra long hiatus. There has been a major burst of activity at i-Weddings (the business), thus my neglect of i-Weddings.com.au (the blog). But I'm back now. Thank you to all who sent me so many concerned emails.

Since spring is about a heartbeat away (in Australia, anyway), here are some great wedding inspirations for unique centrepieces for your spring wedding reception.

Reception Centrepieces - More iLoveThese Centrepieces from Marthastewartdotcom

If you're planning a spring wedding in Australia, here are a few warm ideas for your reception centrepieces from Martha Stewart. Two main themes are apparent in the Martha Stewart centrepieces.

Firstly there's the use of potted plants as centrepieces. You could re-use them as plants in the garden in your new home. How's that for a cost saving!

Secondly there's use of bold warm colours - hues of red, orange and warm yellow. The bottom left picture features fruits as part of the centrepiece. Very yummy idea!

Planning - More unique ways to personalise your wedding

1. Set up a welcoming and comfortable lounge area where guests can take a break from all the dancing and drinking.

2. If you met on a "blind" date, get your guests into the "blind" date theme by getting them to pick their table assignments out of a hat at your rehearsal dinner.

3. Name and decorate tables after places that are important to you as a couple. You could set up a few different "corners" that represent these places.

4. Put some pressed flower petals with the ceremony program for a garden-themed wedding.

5. Serve only wines from the year that you met or got engaged.

6. Put up a photo slideshow with photographs from your childhoods through to the present.

Sample "This is your life" Photo Slideshow from i-Weddings. Create your own "This is your life" Photo Slideshow from a special introductory price of $160. Another sample here.

7. For your first dance, use the same song as your parents did during their first dance. Or put together a medley of the first dances songs of both the groom and bride's parents.

8. Get a cartoonist friend to illustrate highlights of your courtship and print them on the ceremony programs.

9. Get your bridemaids to carry fancy parasols instead of a bouquet while walking down the aisle for a garden wedding.

10. Make a special photo guest book filled with your favourite photos for your guests to sign.
