Labyrinth Inspired Winery Wedding

Bonded over their love of David Bowie and Labyrinth, this couple knew that they wanted to incorporate elements of this into their design when planning their wedding. Novelty Hill Januik made for the perfect backdrop to their unique color palette of orange and blue.  

From the Planner ~ Emily Shannon, CWP Sweet Pea Events, Seattle Office:

"Karisa and Ryan are such a fun-loving couple. They initially bonded over their love of David Bowie and Labyrinth. So, when it came time to start planning a wedding, they knew that they wanted to incorporate elements of this into their design. Novelty Hill Januik made for the perfect backdrop to their unique color palette of orange and blue. The Labyrinth theme was complete when Ryan’s twin brother decided to put on a David Bowie outfit complete with a Labyrinth puppet show! 

   

I remember the first time I met with Karisa, she told me that the most important thing to her and Ryan about their wedding was that it was a party. And it’s safe to say that they had one memorable, rockin’ reception!"

Choosing your Wedding Cake: Seasonal wedding cake advice

There are so many choices when it comes to choosing your wedding cake style.  

First, you have to think about how you would like your cake to reflect your personalities.  Are you a classic couple? Modern? Romantic? Avant Garde?

Then, you have to think about how would you like your cake to tie back to the wedding theme?  Are you having a beach wedding? Winery? Backyard private residence?

Next you have to think about how those answers are best achieved through the use of fondant versus butter cream versus a naked cake versus ganache and so on.  

After that is flavor profile (our personal favorite part!).  Are you a Vanilla, Chocolate, Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter Cream, Toasted Coconut Pecan or Pink Champagne couple?  

Additionally, you want to think about the time of year that you're getting married at.  Not only can this help direct what you want the cake decorated like, such as Royal Icing snowflakes for a winter wedding, to hand-painted flowers for a Spring wedding; but help you decide just want type of wedding cake decor you should have.  Molded chocolate details, are lovely but in the hot, humid days of summer, can quickly lead to a melted mess. Kara Burfeind, owner of The Sweetside, says "Flowers on cakes are a classic and always look great, but in summer, consider using seasonal berries and a textured buttercream. The duo looks fresh, beautiful and SO tasty!". 

Most importantly, remember, that a good wedding cake company will help you with all these decisions and make the experience as stress-free, fun and tasty as possible.
