Takes the (Cup)cake
“Couples I’ve encountered are
definitely interested in variety for
their wedding — more options!
With that being said, I’m seeing
a trend in more fruit-flavored
cupcakes. When I make a cupcake
with fruit incorporated, I always
choose fresh fruit, juice and zest
because it translates to a stronger,
fresher flavor. I think hummingbird
is an underrated flavor. Most people
don't even know what hummingbird
is, but once you taste it, you get it.
It’s a spiced cake with pineapple,
bananas and walnuts!” – Tara Quinn

Put Pen to Paper
“Hand-done calligraphy from scratch will give your invitations a more
prestigious feel as well as a personal touch. Each envelope is a piece of
artwork. I have four calligraphy styles couples can choose from — old English,
cursive, vertical Roman cursive and a new one, copper plate — and I’m happy
to help them decide which fits their style best. It also helps when they can
bring a photo of their invitations to the consultation for matching purposes.”

Determining the Driver
“Obviously, friends and family won’t let you down, but anything is
possible and relying on a professional company for your wedding day
transportation ensures professional vehicles and chauffeurs. If anything
were to actually happen, professionals will know how to resolve the
situation. Still on the fence? Go and visit the company, check the fleet
and ask the difficult questions. The answers will certainly point you in
the direction you would feel most comfortable. I say, let the guests be
guests, and rely on a professional to take care of the transportation.”
– Meagan Mann of Rockstar Limo, rockstarlimo.net
Suit Yourself
“More tapered shoulders
and slim legs on suits
or tuxes is popular. We
have seen a slight spike
in men wanting bolder
color choices when it
comes to the jacket, such
as red, blue and even
green.” – Aldo Segama of
