WEDDING CAKES AND FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY

W hether you are getting married or are planning a wedding for a loved one, Thrifty Foods will help make your event fun and stress free. From pre- and postwedding celebrations to the big day, they will ensure that all of your fabulous food and floral desires come together seamlessly.

Floral

Visit any Thrifty Foods’ location to coordinate an impeccable look for your special day. Their professional floral designers consult with you on the colour, type and style of your floral arrangements – including your bridal and bridesmaid bouquets, table centerpieces and guest favours – guaranteed to create a stunning atmosphere to match your wedding theme.

Bridal Bouquet

Your flowers will play a big part in making your wedding day beautiful and memorable. After all, the bride and bridal bouquet are prime focal points at any wedding, and the style of your flowers should complement that of your dress. Make your moment a lasting memory when you plan it with the experts at Thrifty Foods. Bring a swatch (or swatches) of fabric to your consultation, along with a photo of your dress.

Corsages and Boutonnieres

Your bouquet and your groom’s boutonniere should, naturally, complement each other. But when it comes to the rest of your bridal party, who should wear a corsage or boutonniere? Today, pretty much anything goes. Most parents and grandparents are delighted to be recognized with a flower to wear at your wedding. It’s nice to have them complement each other by adorning all of them with the same flower or style. Keep it simple and elegant – whites or creams are perfect colours for these coordinated touches. If you have a Master of Ceremonies, it’s always nice to have a boutonniere for him, or a lovely corsage for her.

Reception Flowers

You may choose to be married on a beach or in a small celebration with family and close friends. Or you may want a grand event. You may even choose to hold it in your own back garden. Whatever venue, there are many styles of floral arrangements to choose from. And you can always use the church floral arrangements for your reception – just delegate someone to transfer them for you.

Your Wedding Cake

Once you have chosen the perfect floral accents, it’s time to select the perfect cake.

The cake is a centrepiece of your wedding, and Thrifty Foods’ cake designers are familiar with latest designs and techniques in cake decoration. They use only the finest ingredients and design each cake with the ultimate attention to detail. All cakes can be made in different sizes to suit your unique requirements, or you can choose cupcakes or mini wedding cakes.

Creating the perfect cake takes time, so it’s best to reserve early. And deciding on your wedding cake can be a difficult task with all the styles and designs available. You’ll want to consider cake flavours and fillings – each tier can be a different flavour; icing – butter cream, fondant or fresh whipped cream; and design. Thrifty Foods has many pictures you can browse through; however, if you have a particular design in mind – if you have found a picture in a magazine or on the Internet – bring it along to your consultation, and they will make it happen.

The size of your cake will depend upon how many guests you plan to feed with your wedding cake. Will there be other desserts to choose from? Do you want to save the top tier for your first anniversary?

The location of your wedding reception is also a consideration. Wedding cakes can melt in the outdoors, so choose your cake carefully. Stay away from mousse, butter icing and real whipping cream, unless proper refrigeration can be provided.

If you have already decided on the colour theme of your wedding, bring a swatch of fabric to your consultation, as it can be used to coordinate the colours of your cake.

Party Platters

Thrifty Foods’ in-store catering experts are here to help you create delectable, out-of-the-ordinary platters using the finest quality meats, hand selected cheeses, and exotic fruits and vegetables. All deli platters are beautifully presented and are prepared using the finest quality meats, fruits and cheeses.

Satisfying bakery platters will make your celebration an overwhelming success, as they are absolutely loaded with an irresistable array of decadent desserts.

Gift Baskets

Impressive gift baskets can be filled with delicious and exotic treats for the newlyweds, and they make a perfect treat for bridesmaids or a sweet or savory ‘thank you’ to guests, parents and family members following the big day. Thrifty Foods offers hundreds of options from gourmet food baskets, snack baskets, fruit baskets and thank you baskets.
