Every time I leave a wedding I can see cake served but uneaten as far as the eye can see! Such a waste of money... AND CAKE! People will NOT eat a huge slice of cake - all you need to serve is a "token" - a taste of a cake that you and your husband ate as a symbol. A small 4"X2" slice is all that needs to be served!
CONTACT ABC CAKE SHOP - NOTHING BUNDT CAKES
(I only get free cake for the recommendation)
Simple - go to a reliable and reputable place. PEOPLE'S FLOWERS has been doing it for 50 years -they know ALL THERE IS TO KNOW about flowers.

Get things done as quickly as possible - do NOT have a two hour cocktail hour - 45 minutes is plenty. Do events in this order and back to back: Toast, Cake cutting, father dance, mother dance, 1st dance, say hi to your guests, La Marcha (or not), dollar dance (or not), garter and bouquet toss and then enjoy the evening without more events to keep doing, those who need to leave early get to enjoy your wedding more and now you can let go and have fun! It is also polite to photographer and any other staff that is being paid by the hour.
"They don't want me to do it..."
WAIT A SECOND! It is your wedding, if you feel you need flamingos on the tables, then flamingos it is! Anything you do not do to please someone else is going to become something you regret not doing and you wish you had. GO WITH IT! Make your day as special as you imagined while planning it in your head. MAKE SURE everyone is happy and smiling and catering to your day being that much more special.
IT IS YOUR WEDDING - YOU ARE THE BOSS!
Whatever time you think is "plenty of time" - IS NOT. That is the rule of thumb. So start four hours before your ceremony, ensure all of your bride's maids are there early with you having coffee and eating breakfast burritos. Make sure the guys are READY AND DRESED TWO HOURS BEFORE YOUR CEREMONY and AT the ceremony location ONE HOUR AT LEAST before your ceremony. Make a list starting with the worst thing you could forget and go down from there. HAVE FUN! Your wedding starts then!
