Wedding Cake
The origin of a wedding cake dates back as far as ancient Rome. weddings would conclude with the groom breaking a loaf of barley bread over the bride's head, this symbolized fertility. The guests would then scramble to pick up crumbs, this was because it was believed to be good luck.
A wedding cake is the traditional cake served at wedding receptions following dinner which Traditionally were made to bring good luck to all guests and the couple, Now In the modern day the cake is usually on display as a decorative center table at the reception and will be cut and served just before the first dance.
There are many wedding cake companies across the Hampshire but if your looking for a cake maker with experience of over 11 years and beautiful cakes tailored to the your wedding style then I would recommend The cake temple, wedding cakes.

The Wedding Dress
Though in history the wedding dress came to represent the end of a woman's identity as an individual and is a symbol of being a dependent wife, it now signifies the end of single hood to a new commitment and partnership although many people just want to look beautiful on their big day and don't think about the tradition behind it.
This wedding trend is believed to have originated with Queen Victoria. she wore a white lace and silk-satin gown when she married Prince Albert in 1840. The dress caused outrage with the English aristocrats as white was traditionally the color of mourning. Many years later it became fashionable for brides to wear white.
A White or ivory wedding dress is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. It is considered to be the color of perfection but not everyone wants a white or ivory dress these days as brides want to show there unique side with bespoke dresses.
Zaneta Burnett design creates beautiful and unique wedding gowns along with alterations, repairs, up-cycling, print design as well as private lessons in the areas. Having worked with Zaneta during a photo shoot with two of her unique bespoke dress I would highly recommend her if your looking for a unique dress designed and created just for you.
