Massachusetts Wedding Cakes, BellaCakes, in the Vendor Spotlight

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Massachusetts wedding cakes, BellaCakes, is being featured in the vendor spotlight today!  We are very excited to share some insight into BellaCakes from Kristen Livoti, on both a business and personal level.

Number of years in business: Number of years as a chef…15. The shop opened September 2008

Preferred styles or designs: BellaCakes enjoys creating one-of-a-kind designs. From traditional, romantic cakes to sculpted grooms cakes.

Pricing Information: Pricing starts at $4.00 a serving.

What makes you stand out? BellaCakes is a nut-free shop that also offers gluten-free, dairy-free or vegan cakes. There are not many that offer those services. We also excel at the more unusual cakes. Those that are sculpted into a particular shape or design.

What’s the favorite part of your work? I love to make people happy. We will make even the smallest cake. We do not have a price minimum but believe that everyone should have a beautiful cake on their wedding day.

If you have any spare time, how do you spend it? I have a six year old little girl that gets the majority of my free time. I also play with a musical group. We recently returned from Australia on a two week tour.

Which charity(s) are you donating to and why? The Pink Initiative and the JDRF.  I’ve recently lost a parent to cancer and hope that my small donation might stop someone else from going through that.

Wedding Tip of the Day by Joya Beauty

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Today’s wedding tip comes from an expert advice article featured on my Kate Parker Wedding by Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire wedding beauty, Joya Beauty.  Check out this great wedding tip below on getting vitamin C skin treatments before the wedding.

Joya Beauty

One Week Before the Big Day:

Consider a lovely Vitamin C treatment to make your skin smooth and glowing.  Treat yourself and your party, especially the Moms, to a treatment for minimizing those fine lines (our Collagen Blanket). At this point, you need help relaxing during this hectic week.  We’ll include a facial massage to reduce puffy skin caused by lack of sleep, the salty foods and those late night parties.  We will also do your complimentary brow shaping – the final touch to your wedding day look.

As a wedding photographer with a Vintage Flair at Relive Photography,  I love accessories and especially “Vintage Accessories”.  I thought it would be fun to show some different and unique items that can be used during your wedding day.  I have just finished a Fashion Photo Shoot to show off these exact items.  The bride can not only use these awesome custom made rings but also can use them as gifts for their bridal party.  These rings have all been custom made by Wicked Peacock and are all created from antique estate jewelry which means that every one is a unique one of a kind.  Also Wicked Peacock is a fabulous designer of Vintage Hair Accessories and Bridal Hair Accessories. Take a look at these items and please feel free to contact me to get a hold of this fabulous designer.  Well, here they are!

I love this outfit.  A simple high skirt with tights is a great vintage/modern twist.

These photo effects are very vintage because of the crinkled looking photograph and the color manipulation.

Wedding Tip of the Day by Lasso’d Moon Designs

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Today’s wedding tip is from Carey Bunker of Lasso’d Moon Designs!  Carey wrote a great expert advice article on my Kate Parker Wedding and she shares some info about the pricing of wedding stationery.  Check out her little tip and visit the full expert advice article on my Kate Parker Wedding.

Lasso'd Moon Designs

One of the most common questions or concerns I tend to hear about in the wedding industry is why does this cost so much? And while that seems to be asked of every wedding service, I’d like to address the cost of custom stationery and invitations.  When you order a custom invitation, your stationer isn’t taking a stock design, dropping in your wording and shipping them off to a printer. Typically, there is an in person meeting if you are close in geography, a flurry of e-mails, rounds of proofs and perhaps a number of phone conversations or in person meetings. This doesn’t even take into account the time your designer might spend on creating or altering graphics to suit your particular wants. So before you even get to printing, your designer could be any where from 3-10 hours into your project.
