Wedding Cake/Photographers

Postby Jove11 » Tue Mar 01, 2022 2:51 pm

Hi all,

My Fiance and I are getting married abroad and having a reception party here when we get back...We're on a tight budget so dont have a lot to spend on things like cakes etc..just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that does affordable cakes for approx 150 people?

Also, any ideas on affordable photographers would be great too!!

Thanks!!

The reception is in the Keadeen Hotel in Newbridge, but will travel within a reasonable distance for the right price!! :)

What about a marks and spencers cake. You could decorate it yourself with ribbon and flowers.

I put together a package before for a couple like yourselves who were married abroad. I covered their evening party with a few formal pictures, the following weekend we did a Rock the Frock photoshoot and the final album was in 3 sections starting with pictures from their Florida wedding, Dublin party and Rock the Frock.

The bride was delighted to be able to wear her dress 3 ties and it really was great fun. That couple had a cupcake wedding cake, I know you can now get these in Liffey Valley, not sure where this couple bought theirs.

I bought my own wedding cake in Annes Bakery on Mary Street for €300 but I have also heard of brides bake their own cakes too, although I would imagine the icing part would be quite difficult but it could be a fun thing to do.

Thanks for all your replies guys! Havent been on here in ages! Have sourced a photographer-and my best friend has offered to do the cake! Would never dream of doing the cake myself-way too much pressure and ive only a day when i get back from the US before the party!! :)

Anyhow-problem sorted!! :)
