Easy Ways to Save On Your Nashville Wedding Cakes & Desserts with Tips from Crumb de la Crumb

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Staying within budget is an important part of wedding planning for every couple. No matter what your budget, there are elements that you have dreamed of that you want to find ways to include in your big day. We sat down with Lori from Crumb de la Crumb to find out a few ways to save on your wedding cakes and desserts.

ABG: Can you share with us some ways for brides and grooms to save money on their wedding cake or desserts while still getting what they have always envisioned?

CRUMB DE LA CRUMB: The first thing is to be honest and upfront with your budget. If I know what your budget is, and I know we can’t meet it, I don’t want to waste your time. If a client doesn’t put a budget on our info form, we encourage them to do that so that we can know whether or not we can work with them up front.

If a client still wants to work with us but we can’t do exactly what they originally wanted, there are a couple of options we can offer:

~ We can make a simpler cake with fewer details and embellishments that will bring the cost down a bit.

~ Or, we can make a smaller cake that will feed up to 100 people.

~ If a couple is having more guests than that, they can get our smaller custom cake and then cupcakes or a kitchen cake (a basic sheet cake without design that is pre-cut in the kitchen). That will save about half on the remaining servings.

Be sure to contact Crumb de la Crumb for all of your event dessert needs. And remember that being upfront with your vendors is the first step to getting the wedding of your dreams for the budget you have in mind!

I was so excited when I came across Ashley’s Bride Guide during my wedding planning process. I had been in a bunch of weddings, but hardly any in Nashville so I was starting from scratch. It was a great resource for us to get ideas and find vendors as we planned our big day. I am so excited to be able to add to the information for Nashville brides and help them create the day of their dreams! As a newlywed (3 weeks down!), I hope I can bring a fresh perspective to all those brides-to-be out there! I loved weddings before, and after going through the planning and execution of our own wedding, I feel blessed to be able to share everything we learned with other Nashville couples!
