Did you know how the wedding cake tradition start? Rich families in Ancient Rome had a special cake made only to use in the ceremony. And guess what they did with it? The guests broke the cake over the bride's head and it was supposed to symbolize their wish for a life of weath and happiness for the young couple. After, the guests would take the crumbs of the cake home to bring them the same wealth and happiness.
Today, after the couple cut their wedding cake at the wedding reception, they serve it to their guests or give them a piece to take home. We can see that this custom has evolved from the early practices of ancient weddings. Don't we love new trends?
Until then, Happy planning in style!
