During the Victorian era, the first groom’s cake was a very heavy and dense fruit cake that eventually became a flour cake, either white or chocolate. The tradition was to cut a piece of the cake and put it in a small box, and then give them to the unmarried women that attended the wedding.The cake was never eaten, but put under the pillow of the single woman giving them the hope that they would find a husband. Groom's cakes are traditionally served at the wedding reception but can also be served at the wedding ceremony. It is more proper and considered better etiquette if the Groom's Cake is served separate from the Brides table as not to take away from the Bridal cake. Traditionally grooms cakes are chocolate and most often garnish some type of fruit. Although, most are a reflection of the Groom's interest such as Golfing, Fishing, Hunting etc...Groom’s cake is a tradition most popular in the southeastern United States that began during the Victorian era, inherited from Britain. In the 1890s, a choice of cake had already been established in America. In the 1890s, the groom’s cake was referred to as the “Lady Cake or Plain Bridegroom Cake”.This recipe was published in the “The British Baker" in 1897.In those days the cake was cut by the bridegroom and served with wine to the bridesmaids before going to the church.In England neither practice was met with success, but in the United States, especially in the southern part of the United States, the two cakes did become very popular with the bride's cake being light and the grooms' being dark.

1940 Wedding

1940's Wedding

The 40's were a little different then the other generations.  The focus was still on family and providing the best you can.  

The American Dream perception was still alive and everyone was greatful for who and what they are.

The 1940's were dominated by World War II. European artists and intellectuals fled to the United States from Hitler and the Holocaust, bringing new ideas created in disillusionment. War production pulled us out of the Great Depression. Women were needed to replace men who had gone off to war, and so the first great exodus of women from the home to the workplace began. Rationing affected the food we ate, the clothes we wore, the toys with which children played.

After the war, the men returned, having seen the rest of the world. No longer was the family farm an ideal; no longer would blacks accept lesser status. The GI Bill allowed more men than ever before to get a college education. Women had to give up their jobs to the returning men, but they had tasted independence. 

Today we make the past romantic, why because they are stories within us.

We see images of what it use to be like and hope that our lives too will have some of the blessings of the previously generations. 

From cake toppers to relationships the difference was people were thought of as individuals.

We were wiser with the knowledge of Holocaust.  The World War II brought a reality and knowledge no one really wanted, had to accept.

Identity thrifts were the first to imager as the people left their county to start new. Walking in someone's shoes was a way to help or hurt.  The believe is that what was happening to the humans on earth was inhuman.  Shoes and dresses were made of the same fabric.  Making them strong durable and able to "Stand the test of time!"

If you knew the right person or had the means you could afford the best.  This is true today, dresses with elaborate details for some  is perfection!

 The perfect hairstyle is part of the era of formality.

                                                                        It went along with the perfections.

 The Floral bouquets were large. The woman were like today friends are friendship. 

    Pictures were posed, not to many natural or journalistic.   

 What a change today we can incorporate products form the past to add to the feel of the era.

            

Themes can also be enhanced by props. It can be the simplest attention to details that helps you suceecd,

The gowns can be flowing and elegant with simplistic beauty and elegance. The Marchesa bride as in contras to the bride of the 30's in a slip dress!

                                                                                Both beautiful brides it makes it a choice rather than a have too.

It's all about choices and you and your groom have the right to choose who, what , when and where of your wedding details.  We hope that is blog is helpful.  Should you choose to we hope you choose MK Pure Diamond Events to produce your wedding.
