And of course, the wedding cake too!!! More on the wedding cake, here are some more info. In the last post, it was written that the cake was decorated using The Joseph Lambeth Method. So what is it?? Here it is:
The Joseph Lambeth Method is derived from a style of decorating that was popular in England where chefs and decorators would use intricate piping to create 3-D scrollwork, leaves, flowers, and other decorations on a cake. A cake decorated in the Lambeth Method and accented with fresh fruit or flowers is the wedding cake of choice for anyone who wants a traditional looking, elegant wedding cake.
Each of the 17 different flower designs on the official wedding cake has their own individual meaning according to the Language of Flowers. They include:
- · White Rose - National symbol of England
- · Daffodil – National symbol of Wales, new beginnings
- · Shamrock – National symbol of Ireland
- · Thistle – National symbol of Scotland
- · Acorns, Oak Leaf – Strength, endurance
- · Myrtle – Love
- · Ivy – Wedded Love, Marriage
- · Lily-of-the-Valley – Sweetness, Humility
- · Rose (Bridal) – Happiness, Love.
- · Sweet William – Grant me one smile
- · Honeysuckle – The Bond of Love
- · Apple Blossom – Preference, Good Fortune
- · White Heather – Protection, Wishes will come true
- · Jasmine (White) – Amiability
- · Daisy – Innocence, Beauty, Simplicity
