Two Tier Cakes: Terrific!

Let’s be honest…we all know it’s the big, multi-tiered wedding cakes that get all the press…all the Oooohs and Aaaaaahs! But, the truth is that many of our requests for wedding cakes are for two-tier cakes that still have a very special wedding feel to them.  We are so happy to create these lovely wedding cake for our amazing clients!

Here are a few of our two-tier favorites:

We added a glitzy, sparkling cake stand to this cake…giving it the feel of a third tier at fractions of the cost.

Adding a special design, in a metallic gold, makes the cake a true sparkler!

Succulents and eucalyptus greens are a favorite greenery used often by our brides. We love the natural and sweet look of this!

Bring the beach vibe to your two-tier cake, by adding the white starfish and blue ribbon, with yellow flowers to shine on your cake!

We are in Cabo so adding white chocolate shells is always fun!

Pink ombre is beautiful and romantic…and looks lovely with the ocean blue in the background.

Real Weddings: Orange Floral Fun

WED #1 Farver_0977

For your Cabo wedding, we highly recommend orange! Remember your elementary school days, and when you learned about the color wheel? Well, orange and blue are complementary colors (translation: they go really well together!) and we have lots of blue here in Cabo San Lucas.  Blue sky and blue ocean…and lots of it!

How White Bridal Bouquets Are Bringing Sexy Back

2013-09-01 14.51.40

The classic white bridal bouquet is our #1 requested bouquet at Cabo Flowers and Cakes! And we fully support this fabulous bouquet!  But just as Justin Timberlake sang (a long time ago), we believe in bringing sexy back and so we feel like jazzing up the classic white bouquet…just a bit! (Don’t worry….nothing too drastic!)

How about adding white anemones, succulents, and green hydrangea & eucalyptus? This used to be a white bouquet until we transformed to it into a super-cool, super-gorgeous, extra special bridal bouquet with a white base!  Spectacular!

White Mums and green hydrangeas add beautiful color and texture to what could’ve been a traditional white bouquet.

There are lots of ways to play this game! 2013-02-16 13.28.33

And don’t forget how different textures of white (and different styles of white flowers) help up the glamour element as well.

Looking for a traditional white bouquet for your Cabo wedding, but want to make it YOURS? Look no further than Cabo Flowers and Cakes floral designers…we’re bringing sexy back to the traditional white bouquet!

These Trends are the Secret Ingredient to Wedding Fabulousness!

With the first month of 2016 coming to a close (can you believe how quickly January has flown by!), we wanted to highlight a few more wedding trends that we think are adorable and truly fabulous and should be brought here to Cabo immediately!

  1. Especially with a destination wedding like this one in Cabo, it can be difficult to include all of our besties, especially our furry ones! So what better way to include them, then to give their photos a place of honor at the reception. elegant-pink-flower-table-garland-runners-for-wedding-centerpiece-ideas
  2. Instead of linen table runner, try a floral table runner on a simple white linen. Lined with candles, this adds the drama of hundreds of flowers, still leaving room for your guests to be able to chat across and down the long table.

TaylorGeoff-Wed-2143.  Greenery, and lots of it, is really hot right now, and it’s not just limited to the table.  Hanging greenery, especially in a location like Cabo where for most of our venues, literally the sky is the limit, this adds an amazing view from the tables.

4. The flowers should, of course, scream glamour, but let’s not forget about the vase! Clear vases, emphasizing the beauty of the stems, with rocks (or shells, or jewels, or seaglass…the list goes on) are clean and simply gorgeous.

So let’s delve in…here are some gorgeous looks, great unique additions to bouquets, and fun different ways to use some of our traditionally favorite flowers!

Here’s what we came up for you…trends that we know will impress your friends! (As if a wedding in Cabo isn’t enough to impress!)

BABY’S BREATH: Colored or white, this flower used to get a bad rap. No longer! Use it alone to create a wispy wildflower look.

Cabbage leaves

COLOR AND RIBBONS: Huge & colorful…with a ribbon drape.  Couldn’t be cuter…can’t wait to create a bunch of these bouquets at Cabo Flowers and Cakes this year! Don’t go small here!

REAL LIFE WEDDING: Mallory & Evan

MalloryEvan43

Welcome to Mallory & Evan’s special day! It’s bright, beautiful and full of fun! We at Cabo Flowers & Cakes loved creating the flowers and floral decor for this exuberant couple for their dream destination wedding in Cabo! Once again, we also loved working with these amazing vendors here in Cabo: Beth Dalton, owner of For You, I Do Weddings and amazing photographer, Daniel Jireh.  (Thanks for sharing the photos, Daniel!)

Mallory & Evan’s chuppah (shown above) was so creative and showcased their happy personalities perfectly! Those balls are officially called “pomanders” and we were so pleased with this whimsical wedding look!

We also had a blast creating this beautiful bouquet!  Mallory wanted color and succulents, and we were happy to oblige!

MalloryEvan21

Her bridesmaid bouquets were similar (just a bit smaller) and added even more pops of color throughout the wedding!

MalloryEvan24

One of our favorite parts of Mallory & Evan’s floral design were these luscious hair flowers!  What true beauty…just what every bride wants for her wedding day!

Congratulations, Mallory & Evan!  Thanks for making Cabo Flowers & Cakes such a large part of your special day!

When Jessica & Josh shared their wedding design concept with us, they knew they wanted elegance!  They had an amazing location for their Cabo wedding, at the world famous Sunset Da Mona Lisa Restaurant overlooking Monuments Beach and our thrilling Arch, and they wanted that to shine.

Meet Perla…She’s creating your arrangement!

 

IMG_5808

After 8 years at Cabo Flowers and Cakes, we can’t imagine how we’d get along without Perla.  She is one of our top floral designers, having risen through the ranks at Cabo Flowers and Cakes over the years.  She’s an orchid lover, and a wedding lover! In fact, one of her favorite parts of her job is going to the actual weddings and helping to set up all the florals.  She’s a hard worker (it’s gets hot and sweaty, pulling together all the floral arrangements for a beach wedding in Cabo!) but she never complains!  She can wield a staple gun along with the best of them, and can fix a troublesome flower with tools from her every-handy toolbox!

Perla’s favorite wedding locations are Cabo del Sol golf clubhouse and the Sunset Da Mona Lisa restaurant, and her favorite part of her job is producing the floral arrangements for a wedding.  She says she loves it when she delivers the wedding flowers, and everyone smiles!

Perla  recently worked with a local wedding planner, Katie Thompson of Dazzle ‘Em Event Design, putting together elaborate floral decor for a beachfront wedding.  “I love Perla!  I love the way she takes what she does so seriously!” said Katie.   “Every wedding is very important to her.  For every flower order, she checks, re-checks and then checks again to make sure everything is literally perfect!”

On a personal note, Perla is also an avid soccer player.  In fact, practicing her English, she sang, “I love, love soccer!” as she was being interviewed! She also loves learning English and has become much more outgoing in her second language.

Why should a client use Cabo Flowers and Cakes? “Porque somos los mejores,” Perla says.  (Translation: Because they are the best!)

 

BLACK AND WHITE WEDDING: A CAKE TO MATCH

P1000098

As black and white themed weddings have become more popular (even at destination wedding locations like Cabo San Lucas), we’ve upped our game when it comes to cake decor.  Black and white wedding cakes have become high-end and on-trend, and we here at Cabo Flowers & Cakes are specialist for this type of cake.

Here are some examples of how a black and white wedding cake stays traditional, elegant and yet unique.  A few things to be aware of for a black and white Cabo wedding cake:

1.   An expert cake designer, like we have on staff at Cabo Flowers & Cakes, must make sure your colors do not run!  The black stays black, and the white stays white.  This is the #1 consideration when creating a beauty like these cakes.P1010074

2. Keep it classy!  One way to do this is to have more white than black on your wedding cake.  This keeps your cake amazing, not scary.P1020208

3. Pull in the decor from your bridal attire and/or event decor.  Black polka dots or stripes on your event linens?  Pull that theme into your cake decor as well.

In the end, a black and white cake is a perfect way to pull together all of your black and white event decor.

ARCHES AND FRAMES – THE CHUPPAH’S COUNTERPART

Here in Cabo, the chuppah (also sometimes called a canopy)  gets all the attention.  With it’s four legs, and it’s beautiful draping…most of our brides start their wedding planning intent on a structure like this.  But, we wanted to let everyone know…at Cabo Flowers and Cakes, we love arches and frames too.  

What’s a frame?  It’s basically a two-legged chuppah/canopy, and so we add this to the arch category as well.  These ceremony structures are just as beautiful as many of the chuppahs and canopies we design (and they are more affordable).  Here are a few to convince you, too:Arch,wbranches&dendrobs 2013-05-25 15.22.51 2012-05-11 10.51.20CanopyDesigner Luis Fernando putting final touches on arch2012-03-31 14.30.15

Remember, in Cabo we are famous for our Arch.  So…maybe your wedding ceremony decor should include one as well!
