Wedding Professionals - Who to Pick?!?

As a wedding profession in just one of many categories (Planners, DJs, Florists, Photographers, Venues, oh my!) - I love to meet other vendors.  The more I meet new people the more it becomes so obvious who is a true professional!  Couples:  Ask questions.  Ask lots of questions.  When you meet us for consultations, the primary focus should not be how much bang will I get from my buck, but rather is this person a good fit - do I like him, or do I like her? 

Don't get me wrong, I have a college degree in business with emphasis in finance - I appreciate a budget - do I ever!  However, you have got to meet enough people, and ask the right questions (for you) in order to really make sure that you are going to hire professionals that will carry out your vision for your big day - and they'll handle it like a well synchronized orchestra.  I understand not everyone can hire a planner, but do keep in mind all planners that I have met have day of services too - and that means just one part of the equation is keeping the vendors on task, on schedule, helping to put the oil on the machine.  You in the mean time are kicking back with your boys, or getting your mani/pedi - while in the background your professionals are taking care of business. 

Please interview us - ask us everything that you want to know - and take note of those professionals that made you feel at ease, exuded confidence in their abilities, and showed that they care about you as a couple - making sure this day is everything you'd hope it would be. 

Sometimes - we even make friends along the way.  ;)

Vintage Art Deco Wedding Cake in Boulder, CO

This weekend I had the pleasure of delivering a wedding cake to the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO.  The bride and groom added wonderful vintage touches to the scenic Boulder, Colorado reception including place cards featuring great movies of the past.  I love this cake design... added bonus with this gorgeous (!) red cake stand.  I'm also throwing in a photo of the tornado simulator that they have in the lobby!  So cool!

Modern Wedding Cake - Loveland, CO

This weekend how many weddings were there??  Some say 39,000... other sources are as high as 60,000+.   It was indeed a busy weekend  - but I made a cake that is in the running for one of my favorites!  This wedding was at the Fountains of Loveland, and the flower arrangement is courtesy of Florals by Rhonda.  The striking side design was taken from their invitation and really gave a modern, clean look. 

Flavors included Chai cake with ginger cream cheese, Snickerdoodle, and Vanilla Bean with Fresh Strawberries.

Grooms Cake - Raiders!!

It's a little scary walking out in public in Colorado with a Raiders cake.  I won't lie... I tried to get inside quickly.  Ha.. no seriously.  I never really get to see a couple's reaction to their cake.  I get to the reception venue typically while the ceremony is getting started, hustle the cake in, make any necessary touch-ups, and then I'm outta there!

But last night I got to deliver the cake made for the groom to the rehearsal dinner at the fabulous Oskar Blues in Lyons, CO!  I can't tell you how fun it was for me to actually get to see the reaction from the couple!  It is just really so great to see someone so happy with the final product, and not to mention, the groom's surprise (at he had no idea the bride had ordered this for him!)

Here it is... the Raiders Shield.  Hand painted details finish off this red velvet cake.

Congratulations Erika and Adam!

Adam and Erika became Mr. and Mrs. today in Fort Collins.  They had a wonderful lineup of wedding vendors.  I personally was really happy about the cake flowers provided by Earle's Flowers and Gifts in Loveland.  Beth did a wonderful job!

We recently created this 3 tiered cake for a wedding at Della Terra Mountain Chateau in Estes Park, CO.  It was covered in an ivory fondant and sprayed with a pearl shimmer.  The bride and groom also included a gift pack of 2 cake truffles with a hand written thank you note for all their guests!
