Subject: Re: Cakes and Plates

Excellent choice with Bill, dear; you're getting the hang of managing a man quite well. As to the plates, I would go with the first - simple and elegant. You don't want the plates to attract attention away from more important things, such as the bride and the cake.

For the cake... let me think... None of those quite work for me, so I would agree with your idea of combining ideas. I do like the whimsy in the uneven layers. We could also have the layers set off at an angle, as in my first photo. While the flowers are traditional, there are certainly other options to consider. Fondant fruit (or real fruit, for that matter) could certainly be a nice alternative, or perhaps some attractive runes similar to the third photo. If you do opt for flowers, dear, make sure that you get a scent charm on them as they grow, so as to add additional ambiance to the tent.
