Let’s face it… when it comes to planning a wedding the ladies are most likely taking charge. With so many decisions being made, sometimes the groom’s opinions may get pushed to the side… maybe just a little bit! Why not give your patient and supportive fiancé a grooms cake to make him feel extra special during destination wedding festivities! Complete with a personality of it’s own, the grooms cakes above (picked especially by Wedding Blog by The Breakers) added that extra touch of fun and South Florida spirit to two different rehearsal dinners at The Breakers Palm Beach.
