After being to a few friends’ weddings you start to see that everyone does things a little differently. Some things you may like about them others you would never consider for your own, but the point is that everyone can express themselves in their own way at their wedding. One of the best ways to do this is at your wedding reception. The reception can be as formal or informal as you make it and trying some new things can make the whole experience fun and memorable. One specific part of the reception that you can definitely experiment with is the cake. Keep in mind these tips when arranging your wedding ceremony at a banquet hall in Chicagoland.

1. A Cake for Every Table

You might be thinking that a traditional wedding cake is a little too boring for your trendy wedding. Good thing traditional wedding cakes aren’t expected anymore. One great idea in place of a regular cake is to have an individual cake at each table. These can be displayed in such a way that they are the centerpiece for you table. This can be a time and money saver. The best part about going this route is that you actually have more choices. You can choose several different kinds of cake flavors, fillings, and decorating. This is a great place to include all the colors of your wedding and show your creative side. Guests will love comparing what other tables have and trading pieces so they can all get a taste of the different flavors.

2. Serve Yourself Candy Bar

This second new take on wedding cake doesn’t actually need to have any cake. If you are a ready for something new and not afraid to mix it up at your reception, then this idea is for you. Make a candy bar full of all kinds of variety. The best way to do this is to stick to a theme such as the bride and grooms favorites or only choosing candy that fits into your color scheme.

Be sure to use different sized and shaped vases or dishes when displaying the candy as well as setting them out at different levels. This is going to get guests up and moving around at your reception.
