While flexing your creative muscles is terribly fun during the wedding planning process, sometimes you just want to stick with the classics. With all of the new nuptial fads popping up, there are more choices than ever when it comes to designing your big day. However, there is such a regality about simple, traditional elements that you really can’t go wrong with them. From a cascading veil to ceremony programs, timeless details can go far with your friends and family.
One of the most notable of these customs is that of the white wedding cake. The sheer number of new styles, colors, and concepts available for your main confection can be overwhelming – why not just go with a simple, elegant ivory dessert?
