I see all those beautiful wedding pictures of bride’s who had their cakes placed on silver cake stands. Is that something provided by the baker? Or can I purchase one for myself - where?

I seem to remember a wristlet that you featured earlier this year, but can’t find now… it was a wristlet that you could also hook onto your middle finger so that the bag could also be carried on the back of your hand… any help would be appreciated.

In the current Martha Stewart Weddings, she features an amazing cake stand made of of a piece of plywood. You’d never know. The cake is pink, decorated with gold braid, so they painted an inch-thick piece of plywood pink, wrapped it in matching gold braid, and made cunning little feet out of large pink and gold beads they nailed to the bottom of the board. It’s beautiful, cost hardly anything, and can totally match your cake! I’m thinking of doing it myself for one of our cakes.

If you really want a silver one, check on eBay, but first check with your baker, caterer and venue, because they may provide them.

re: open seating, I agree with 400 guests it’s probably a good idea. Way too overwhelming to arrange everyone. I would advise having seats reserved for your family so they don’t end up stuck in some corner, unable to see anything. I attended a wedding with 300 guests and open seating and the poor parents didn’t get good seats.

I’ve recently had the honor of being asked to be the MOH at my best friend’s wedding! I am ecstatic~ but lost!
so:
for fello MOH out there~
1. Any recommendations on where to start? sites/books?

For the Brides~
1. What did your MOH do for you that made your whole wedding experience extra special?
2. Any thing you wish your MOH would have done for you?

Thanks!

lindsay,
The same rental website I just put up would work for you, too. A lot of party rental stores carry cake stands, and cupcake trees.
