Mini Cakes and Fast Flowers
As an event planner by trade, Karen also knew a few tricks for finding vendors fast. "My motto was, 'Think creatively and don't be afraid to ask for another option.'" While ordering a traditional wedding cake usually requires 2-3 months notice, Karen's creativity paid off again. She dreamed up the idea of a beautiful tower of cupcakes instead. "Our baker arranged them into a pyramid and topped it with a tiny bride and groom. It was the absolute hit of the wedding!" Easy and elegant was the plan for the flowers, too. Karen and Geoff waited until the day before their wedding and went to the wholesale floral district. For a mere fifty dollars they bought two enormous boxes of fresh blooms to fill their chosen vases. Photos were taken by an experienced friend and by guests, using disposable cameras that were placed on each table.
