Tip Tuesday: Matching your color scheme perfectly

So you want to order a cake with greenish/blueish decorations but is it teal, turquoise, aqua, light blue, or sea-foam. There are so many shades to every color it can be difficult to get something that matches what you have in mind. Quite often teal in your mind is perhaps aqua to us. So we have a few suggestions on helping your cake decorator match your color scheme perfectly.

1. Party Supplies: when ordering your cake bring along the napkin or plate that goes along with your party theme.
2. Invitation: if you are looking to match your parties invitation bring an extra copy for the decorator.
3. Fabric Swatch: if you are ordering your wedding cake many times you can get color swatches of the bridesmaids fabric from the bridal boutique. If this is your accent color it is a great way for your decorator to have  large enough color swatch to match.
4. Paint Chip: Don't have an invitation, party supplies, or fabric swatch? Just go to your local hardware store and pick up a paint chip in the color you desire. This is a great idea for your florist and other venders that you need to provide color with.
