In a world of internet, finding a plethora of wedding vendors is not a challenge. However, not just anyone will do. You would not want to hire a photographer that is just taking up a hobby or a deejay that has never serviced a wedding. When building your team of wedding vendors, consider talent, experience and services. The safest place to find your team of vendors is at the Crystal Ballroom. Most wedding venues have a preferred list of trusted vendors. Create a list, do your research and interview your candidates.

Find your style before sitting for a tasting. Think about your invitations, colors, flowers, wedding dress and linens. All of the elements of your wedding day should inspire the design of your wedding cake. For this reason, you should wait until about five to six months prior to your wedding to plan the cake. Create a small picture board to share with your cake designer. Traditional wedding cakes are white, and accent with a ribbon, dots or quilting to create texture. Some cakes are three dimensional sculptured cake art that convey a whimsical theme with extravagant and colorful designs. Wedding cakes come in different shapes and sizes. You might want a traditional round, but you might be dreaming of a modern square or hexagon. Think about your embellishments and whether you are a minimalist or want frosted banding with patterns and sugar flowers. You might even want to design with real flowers. Imagine the type of topper you want. You could choose flowers, something vintage, traditional or a custom topper that looks like you and your fiancé. Once you know your style, it is time to find a baker to design it.
