Candles in Cabo – Make Your Wedding Glow


When getting married in Los Cabos (whether you are in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, Pescadero or Todos Santos), one of the most important elements you can add to your wedding is candlelight! And we have lots of candles, just waiting to decorate your wedding tables and/or ceremony.

The Baja nights are dark (unless you are fortunate enough to have a full moon!) but that makes your candlelit tables and ceremonies even more romantic! Some brides (like the table below) use just candles to decorate their tables. This bride used 50 of our candles (or varying dimensions) for each of her 4′ x 8′ rectangular tables.

Sometime (like below) candles are an accent to everything else important that is going on on a table.

And sometime, though this is actually rare here in Cabo San Lucas, our candles are there to light up the actual night time ceremony. (Most photographers prefer to photograph sunset ceremonies an hour before sunset, but this Cabo wedding ceremony was beautifully photographed and truly stunning, even after sunset.) Click here for a great link to determine your Cabo wedding sunset time. 

The bottom line is that when you are planning your florals for your Cabo wedding, you must also plan your candles. You will want a lot of them to create an ambiance that will be dreamlike and alluring!www.loscabosflowers.com

Let Them Eat Cake!

For today’s blog, we want to showcase a few of our most recent Cabo wedding cakes! Cabo is actually a very small town and there are not many of us making American-style wedding cakes for our Cabo brides so we are proud to have such a coveted spot and to be so well-loved by our brides.


We have a large variety of flavors & fillings, and we know what your guests want, what they are expecting from your wedding cake. Some of our most popular flavors are: lemon cake with lemon curd filling, Mexican chocolate cake with white chocolate filling, and white almond cake with hazelnut mousse filling. We always recommend a butter cream frosting as we can be a bit warm here for your Cabo wedding! For more detailed information regarding our cakes and other desserts, please check out our Cakes section of our website.

We are here to help you design and create the most amazing wedding cake for your Cabo Destination Wedding. (We also provide flowers & events rentals as well.)

 

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.

What a pleasure it was to work with Keely & Jeff, and their wedding planner, Katie Thompson, of Dazzle ‘Em Event Design,  on their wedding florals!

FullSizeRenderWe first met the cute couple when they came in January of this year for a site tour and floral meeting . At this meeting, we had a great time playing with the flowers, with Keely (working together with our floral designers) coming up with the perfect way to arrange a lot of precious small vases on a rectangular wooden farm table.

The end result of that meeting? The amazing floral decor you’ll see below.

Your cake topper for your Cabo wedding is a perfect chance for any destination wedding bride to bring a bit of home with her and to make her mark on her wedding decor!  This bride and groom brought this cake topper with them, with H as the initial for their newly shared last name, and with a silhouette design of their beloved dog they’d left at home for the week-end. They made their wedding cake personal…for them!0750KJWPP

Let our officiant create the ceremony you’ve dreamed of (but weren’t sure how to put into words)

Wed #3
We don’t think it’s any secret that we LOVE Cabo weddings! We have been providing flawless flowers, dramatic decor and class-act cakes to our beloved clients for many, many years. We’ve also been providing wedding officiant services for the past few years, but thought, hey, it’s time to tell the world a little bit more about who our wonderful officiant is.
Wed #2 - small
Meet Joel Lopez Taylor. Handsome, isn’t he? But he’s also a special person, who is gifted with a spirit to be of service.  As an administrative employee for Cabo Flowers & Cakes, he was witness to thousands of weddings, as he prepared the florals and decor for these celebrations.  With a desire to be more involved, his position evolved into working with brides and grooms to create the ceremony that they had dreamed of, but weren’t quite sure how to put into words. Joel works with bridal couples to create a truly unique wedding ceremony. (for those couples who are less creatively inspired, he can provide  wedding script templates that can be used as a whole or cut an paste from to create the ceremony that you want.)
Note: Cabo weddings (unless performed by a licensed Mexican judge) are all symbolic, non-legal, non-denominational ceremonies.
To book Joel as a minister for your Cabo wedding, please contact him at: joeltaylor78@hotmail.com or call the Cabo Flowers & Cakes offices at (011 52) 624 105 145

4 Ideas You Can Steal From Wedding Cake Trends in 2016

2016 is still a new year, so it’s not too late to continue looking at wedding trends! Our focus this blog is…the coolest new wedding cakes.  The trends in wedding cake design are fun and colorful…perfect for a Cabo wedding!  Check out our favorite 4 trends for 2016 – we are excited to create these for you! So…let’s get started…

Trend #1: The naked cake in CHOCOLATE! (Yes, the naked cake was really popular in 2015, but almost always in vanilla or a neutral color/flavor. For 2016, the hip way to create this cake is by embracing the chocolate, and letting it all hang out!)

Trend #2: Gold flaking on the cake! Not the whole cake…just a touch of shine. Let that cake glow!

Trend #3: The color drip! It’s actually a sweet flavored icing – delish – that also adds a touch of the creative to your cake design.
