DESIGN OF THE TIMES Fall is the New June Late spring and early summer have traditionally been considered to be “wedding season.” But as more couples choose less traditional nuptials, different seasons are gaining in popularity, especially the Fall months, creating plenty of new opportunities for your bakery—and other departments—to create new cake designs and other wedding offerings. In many parts of the country, the crisp Fall weather lends itself to outdoor weddings with the foliage serving as instant décor. Paired with inexpensive lighting and harvest icons, the scene can be set for an outdoor wedding—in locations such as the local farmer’s market, a state or local park or even the bride’s back yard—on shoestring budget. Not to mention that the weather poses less risk of storms or excessive heat that can drive the event inside—though Mother Nature makes no promises. Many brides prefer fall weddings because they are more interested in warmer, non-traditional wedding colors, rather than the pastels or brighter summer hues. This gives your decorators some creative freedom to break way from the pink-and-white wedding cakes Fall Favors Use these fall wedding favor ideas from theknot.com to inspire fall wedding cake ideas! • Caramel Apples • Soy Candles • Mini Maple Syrup Bottles • Apple Cider Mix • Pumpkin Spice Soaps • Individual Apple Tarts • Sunflower Seeds • Fresh Candied Pecans Source: theknot.com Holiday Themes Fall doesn’t have to be the only theme for the wedding.
