After much thought about what to write about this week, I settled on “Wedding Consultations”. One reason being a bride came in to see us this week and she was so grateful for the time we spent with her, and it really helped us to see that the decision to make our VIB room (Very Important Bridal) was a great one! Of course, we love to have appointments scheduled in advance, but some times we get, and welcome drop ins, anyway, we can meet with brides in a more personal setting, not many distractions, and take some time with them to work out the kinks or just listen to what they are wanting. Some brides come in with it all figured out, some come in with a blank slate. We want to be here to handle each situation as it’s presented. We try to make sure we have all or most cakes available to taste everyday. Especially when brides take the time to call ahead and schedule. We realize planning a wedding can be very stressful and we definitely don’t want to add to the stress. Think about it, you get to come in with your closest friends, mom, your fiancé’ and EAT CAKE!!! Yay! We also have beautiful monogram letters for the top of your cake, 5 or 6 different styles. We also have the traditional and nontraditional bride and groom tops. For your bridesmaids and groomsmen, we have gift options that we can order and have personalized, invitations, save the dates, wedding favors and more!!
Some recommendations for helping in go smoothly:
Check out the website http://www.annsbakery.com/; see what flavors, fillings etc. that we have to offer, and check the basic pricing.
Jot down questions, ideas, flavors that you would like to discuss
Look at pictures!! On our site, other websites, “The Knot”http://www.theknot.com/ is a great source for ideas.
Print pictures off that you like, even if it’s the border on one cake and flowers on another, we can combine styles that you like and make it special and personal.
Pick the 3 or 4 people, important, that are the most reasonable, to come with you. Don’t forget it’s YOUR cake, YOUR day; you make the decision on what you want!!
We have really enjoyed the past year, getting to work with brides in our new room; it has definitely made it easier for us also! Please come in and see us!
Mmmm, the cake tasting.
ReplyDeleteA bride should also try more than one make up artist and make sure her stylist is going to do her hair the way she wants. My cake from Ann's was perfection, but the woman I made my updo appointment with refused to do an updo and I felt very cheated.
