Planning Your Dream Wedding in 2025

Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting yet overwhelming experiences for any couple. From the flowers to the venue, the guest list to the perfect wedding cake, every detail counts.

At Cake & Thistle, we understand the importance of creating a day that reflects your love story, and we’re here to help with some top tips to make wedding planning a breeze.

Set Your Budget Early

The first step in planning any wedding is setting a realistic budget. Consider the non-negotiable elements first, like the venue and catering, and allocate funds accordingly. Don’t forget to include your dream wedding cake!

At Cake & Thistle, we offer bespoke cake designs to suit every budget.

Choose Your Theme and Style

Having a clear vision will guide many of your decisions, from décor to invitations. Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic barn wedding or a glamorous ballroom affair, make sure your cake fits the aesthetic. Our custom designs can complement any theme, with options ranging from classic tiered cakes to contemporary masterpieces.

Book Your Suppliers Early

Wedding suppliers can get booked up months or even years in advance. Prioritise booking your venue, photographer, and, of course, your wedding cake. Our diary fills up quickly, so secure your date as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!

Personalise Your Day

Adding personal touches will make your wedding truly yours. Incorporate elements that represent you as a couple, whether that’s a unique cake flavour, custom cake toppers, or a favourite quote displayed on your cake table. Our cakes can be designed to tell your story, from flavours to decorations.

Don’t Forget the Cake Tasting!

One of the most enjoyable parts of wedding planning is the cake tasting. At Cake & Thistle, we offer taster boxes to help you find the perfect combination of flavours for your wedding cake. Whether you’re a fan of rich chocolate or light, fruity sponges, we’ll guide you through our delicious options.

Stay Organised

Keep track of your plans with a wedding planner or an app to manage your to-do list, guest RSVPs, and supplier contacts. Staying organised will help you stay calm and ensure nothing gets overlooked.

Enjoy the Process

Wedding planning should be a joyful experience, so don’t let stress take away from the excitement. Surround yourself with supportive friends, family, and trustworthy suppliers to help make your vision a reality.

Planning your dream wedding takes time, but the result is worth every minute. If you’re looking for a wedding cake that will leave a lasting impression, get in touch with us today to start your journey towards the perfect centrepiece for your special day.
