Jenny & Brendan's Wedding Cake

I actually moved this cake 13 times to keep it safe each time the property owners let their dogs out!

July Wedding at Fonthill

Dear Jack, Cathy, Ed, Fran and Team,

I should be writing this on lovely stationery, but I wanted to get it down while it was still fresh in my mind. Our wedding was an absolute dream come true in every way. I don't know if you had anything to do with producing the gorgeous weather, but I'll give you credit for everything else. I think the biggest compliment I can give is not from us, but from many of our guests. So many people told us that the food was beyond delicious (and we agree) and that this was the most fun wedding they had ever attended (I also agree, but I'm very biased here). Fonthill is truly a special place and you are a special group of people and I think that was apparent to everyone there.

I really have to thank you for all the extra care that you gave us. Eric and I wanted a traditional wedding that wasn't "cookie-cutter" and that's what we got in so many ways. Everyone raved over our custom menu as a whole and over specific items. Eric would like to know if we can just order some of that artichoke jalapeno dip from time to time!! The cheese was amazing. Everyone enjoyed the mix of crowd-pleasers (skewers, dips, fruit) and the unexpected items (quince paste, gazpacho). My biggest disappointment was that I wasn't able to sample everything, but I tried! Everything that I tasted literally surprised me because it tasted a hundred times better than my mouth was prepared for.

I also want to specifically thank Cathy and Fran for the care they took with us. Everything ran very smoothly and they were very kind to check in with us to make sure we had what we needed. We appreciated being served at our table so that we could chat with our guests. Cathy set up the tent and the ceremony very beautifully and really listened to our ideas about the atmosphere that we wanted to create and took initiative to keep going where my ideas left off. We were also more than pleased with Jimmy Ryan and the other vendors that you recommended to us.

Again, our deepest gratitude to you all for a beautiful day that we will remember with nothing but happiness!

Kindest regards,

Natalie and Eric Hart

Jack,

Your staff did an excellent job...thank you for making Amy's wedding so special.

The blue and white tablecloths with the blue napkins looked amazing with the colorful gerber daisy centerpieces...i'm glad we went with them. (I've attached a few pictures) Tammy was wonderful from the beginning to the end. She worked with quiet confidence and competence and kept the event running smoothly. She really did an amazing job.

I heard positive comments and complements about the food as well...and the cake was positively beautiful!

Thanks again for working with us to have the wedding Amy wanted.

Dear Cathy, Jack, and everyone at Memorable Affairs,

We want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for a simply amazing reception on August 9, 2008. The staff was amazing, the food was to die for, and the design and planning was flawless.

You brought our vision to life, and the attention to detail was obvious as the night went seamlessly. We had family and friends from Oregon to Florida, from Chicago to Vermont - everyone said they had never been to a wedding like that in their lives.

Thank you for everything!

Katie and Jason Christiansen

I know, what a horrible reference for a title. Marie Antoinette must have been quite the Bridezilla!

Anyway.

What kind of wedding appeals to you? Are you the type who wants to get married on the beach in a sundress and a flower in your hair, with your closest friends to witness? Or do you want a wedding fit for royalty? Maybe you’re pretty traditional, but you want a little extra something to keep your day memorable. Or do you recoil from convention and want a wedding that’s fun, bold, and with a sense of humor? Whatever your desires, keep tuning in here for some great ideas for inspiration to personalize your wedding.

Today I spent some time searching for wedding cakes. I looked for the unique, the irreverent, the simple, and the fabulous. These are my favorites:

If you like:

Simple, Subtle, and Beautiful

This one is simple but beautiful, and looks like something you could duplicate cost efficiently. You could easily find stands like this, or even decorate the stand with ribbons or flowers rather than on the cake. It’s perfect for an elegant wedding (1).


Fabulous and Luxurious

With intricate designs and colors of royalty, this cake is fit for a queen, or someone who wants to be treated as such on her special day(2).

Traditional with a twist

Want a traditional wedding with a unique twist? Try a design like this, inspired by a Paisley print Indian shawl. It’s edgy, but beautiful and with a hint of culture(3).


Unconventional and Fun
I couldn't pick just one of these.


This is absolutely awesome! It's a lego cake for the kid in all of us. If you’re a goofball, love kids, or are unique and unconventional, this is a great idea. Of course, it’s not edible. But I love cookies and brownies and other types of sweets, so I would be happy with a sweets table and a cool Lego cake to look at(4)!

This one is my favorite! For all of us who grew up obsessing over those green pipes and “one up’s” and question mark boxes always filled with something special, what better way to celebrate your special day than with some childhood nostalgia? May every Princess Toadstool find her Mario(5)! Here’s another one:

I love the bride and groom in a pipe, ready to travel through sewers together for life(6)!

This…is weird. But it is a meatcake! If your fiancé is into being a “manly man”, or at least wants to joke about it, this is easy to make and hilarious! It’s actually a meatloaf cake, with mashed potato frosting. Take a look here for the full story:
