The Wedding Tiara is Worth Storing

 |  Published in Wedding Party Jewlery


Given that you spend an adequate amount of time shopping for your wedding tiara, it is imperative that you find a good place to store it after the wedding day. Given that your wedding tiara is not a large item, the task of finding a storage spot should be relatively easy. However, if you put it off, you will find that your tiara pops up in places you don’t expect because it’s not stored away.

For example, if your wedding tiara is not in a safe place, it might show up in the dresser drawer, the laundry basket, the china cabinet, or even the trunk of your car. These seem like totally unrealistic places to find your wedding tiara but worse things have happened.

Most of us are aware that you can have your wedding dress preserved at your local dry cleaner. After the wedding dress is cleaned, steamed, and/or pressed, it is folded and placed in an acid-free archival chest with or without a display window. If you ask nicely, the dry cleaner will put your tiara in the package as well. Depending on the cleaner, the waiting time for the preservation will take between one and four months.

Some people would argue that the wedding tiara does not belong in the wedding dress preservation box because it cannot be touched or displayed. I would agree with that argument. However, unlike your wedding jewelry that you will wear time and time again, the odds of you wearing your tiara after your wedding day is few and far between. And even if you decide not to put your tiara with your wedding dress in the preservation box, there are plenty of places to put the tiara. For starters, you can start with a shoe box. Simply find an empty shoebox and fill it with bubble wrap and label it. There you go. Done deal.

Wedding Cake Stands

 |  Published in Wedding Drinks & Food


Your wedding will be one of the biggest days of your life and it is important that everything is exactly how you want it. This means planning for all the decorations including the wedding cake and stand. Although most caterers can supply the cake stand with the wedding cake many couples choose to use a custom cake stand that represents their unique tastes.

Cake stands are available from most catering and party supply stores as well as online. They come in everything from basic models through to the most extravagant designs that you can think of. Many wedding cakes are multi tiered designs, but a 2 tier cake stand is probably the most popular. The most popular style is a simple elegant stand in either silver or gold, but red and white are also quite popular. The best thing about simple wedding cake stands is that they don’t have to cost a lot of money to look great!

For those with more expensive tastes and want a lasting memory of their wedding cake a custom designed cake stand is a great idea. These can be personalized with your unique tastes in mind and you can choose from any design that you would like. This also means that it will be a one-of-a-kind cake stand which means that your wedding cake will be completely unique. It is important to order a custom cake stand as early as possible because it will take some time to be made.

When choosing a cake stand it is a good idea to pick something that matches the rest of your decorations. However, some people choose to have a cake that stands out from the rest so that it becomes a stunning feature. Whichever you choose it is important to take some time over your decision so that you are happy with the result on the big day!
