Ok I thought i had this one all wrapped up but BOY did i get that wrong!
Ok I have ALWAYS said I want this wedding to be completly different to my first right down to the cake and favours. So the first time round i had a round 3 tier SEPERATED cake (one of those stands that you put 3 cakes on so they LOOK like a 3 tier cake but its actually 3 cakes) with white icing. This time I want a 3 tier black slightly off centre square cake (complete opposite hay :-))
BUT
We went to a wedding fair on sunday and matt has fallen in love with a cake stand that i must admit is GORJUS but its a 3 tier seperated cake stand and he wants round cakes on it (even tho the pic she had had square ones on it and it looked just as good)
Soooooooooo ladies my question is do you think it will matter that this cake will be similar to my first wedding if i go with his choice?? I would still have the black icing and red roses decorating it (first time i had pale lilac flowers running down all 3) but im just worried ppl will think aww you have the same as last time!! (my sister saw my dress and said it was similar to the last one, ermm of course my tastes havent changed that much and my other sister was at the wedding fair with us and the first thing she said when h2b said abount the stand was didnt you have one similar the last time?????)
GRRRRR HELP ME LADIES WHAT SHOULD I DO??

If it looks good and you like it (he clearly does) than go for it. Don't make the mistake of focusing *too* much on your first wedding with all the planning! It does sounds like some of your decisions are made because of your first wedding...
We had to travel across the earth to find each other
We've never been apart since meeting almost 7years ago
And never will be!
I can't wait until he is my husband :D

I shouldnt worry too much, how many people are going to look at the cake and think 'that looks like the first one she had....', to be honest, how many people would remember anyway? Doubt many people could remember the cake I had the first time around! I barely can! This wedding IS different, you are marrying someone different for a start, it doesnt really matter if the cake style is similar, and as you said the decoration is different hun. Our tastes dont have to change over the years, and I would say my dress is fairly similar to the one I wore before too... its just personal taste! It doesnt have to have a deep psychological meaning that just because we choose a similar cake and a similar dress we are trying to capture the past and relive our first weddings! xx
CommentAuthorlala "mod" bunni
ok so lets think ....... you have the same stand you have different design you have different venue you have different favours you have different flowers
you have different GROOM
sound like your sister need to keep her mouth shut
Cheers girls, I was all for changing till she said that lol then got worried even tho i was married in 1996 the first time lol
London bride hunni my first wedding was a complete diaster and all my decisions were made for me by my mum and dad and his as 1, they were paying and 2, we didnt live where we were getting married so everytime we went to sort something we got there only to realise the decision had already been made for us :-( so yes this time i am thinking of my first wedding but only in the fact that that THIS time i....WE will be getting exactly what we want not what anyone else wants.
And this time my dress will fit me not hang off me lol But thanks hunni i know what your saying

It WILL be a different cake though! Different colour, different decorations, probbably different flavour, so what that shape is simillar?! Most cakes are round anyway. I dont think you have to have everything opposite to what you had on your previous wedding. You are not wearing a black trouser suit just becouse of that are you!? :)

No i wouldnt go that far which is why im wearing an orange trouser suit with a purple shirt and braces with pink and green spots on ...............oposite ya see hehehe

its only gonna get eaten ... who cares if its a similar stand....it doesnt mean that its anything slighty like your wedding before ... ignore people and i bet on the day no one will notce... plus its nice that h2b wants his input too
just ignore what people say...

:D lol. u got pics of your suit in your album? would love to see that! :))) Might go for something simillar.
CommentAuthorJane
I know where you are coming from when you said everything the first time around was decided by other people, I was 18 when I got married the first time in 1989 (feels like a lifetime ago!) My mum arranged the cake to be made and I didnt see it until the day before. She arranged the flowers and I didnt see them until the wedding morning (she also arranged for the florist to deliver a bunch of flowers to her too as a thank you gift!) She picked the venue, and even got me a dress to wear (that was quite hideous and I ended up losing shed loads of weight so it would be too big and at least I got to get a second hand dress from a charity shop that was half decent!) I dont really remember being involved in any of the planning at all. Big difference this time! xx

lol @ Dove, I can describe loads of cakes I've seen at weddings/parties etc...but then it is a subject that interests me greatly!!

Exactly jane, i was also 18 the first time, dress was nice but because of the distance didnt fit me so kept falling off :-( the cake was made by an uncle and was all fruit and i hate cake anyway so wanted a plain top so i could at least have a bite, the photos was also done by an uncle and although we only paid £50 and got 500 odd photos we maybe got four decent ones because he was drunk. I think the only thing i truely loved was the dvd as my godfarther did it as a surprise (was a professional camera man and did shows such as 'you bet') and it was fantastic had all our fav songs in the background lots of personal messages and just a brill dvd........sadly he died in september after a long battle with cancer so wont be there this time, except in my heart!
Liiga Ermm the suit is a surprise lol so no photos hehehe

Thats quite expensive to hire them then... Was looking on bay few days ago - u can buy a stand for £30(buy it now), then sell it on for pretty much the same price on auction. They are not that pretty as one in ure pic though, just plain.
