Not at all, no one will detect that yous did not cut it, no one will find that it was there and then information technology wasn't. Quite often I come across that the cake moved effectually anyhow from the wedding breakfast room and then gets moved to the evening reception room and generally information technology gets cut just before the offset dance.
You may go pressure from older guests and then perchance only cutting information technology for them and simply don't get the DJ to announce information technology and it will exist over in 10 seconds.

I mean, I don't think no one will notice that it is there 1 minute and gone the next... merely I don't recollect anyone will make a big deal that someone takes it away and cuts it instead of y'all guys doing it! For us, cutting the cake is a affair because our block is a centrepiece and kind of a statement about us. On the flip side, nosotros aren't having a first dance. I don't wait anyone to brand a big bargain about us not holding that tradition.

I think it would be fine. I tend to agree with you on the "cutting the cake" photos and whole ceremony to be a little much and antiquated.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. No one will notice and you don't take to stick with traditions. I'm not throwing my bouquet and our 'cake' will actually be a few tiers of cheese wheels that people will cut into themselves in the evening. We won't be doing the whole cake cutting thing

Actually throwing the boutonniere is a tradition that I practice not see very oft but it is one that I would like to see more of and less of cutting the block and signing the registrar ( which has but changed ) although the shot is still asked for.
Throwing the bouquet is really a fun shot to do, the tradition behind it is that the person that catches information technology will be the adjacent to get married. Sometimes I I accept had a struggle gathering catch volunteers as I hear the respond "Im already married only that part of it tin be ignored and just assemble your mates for a fun shot.
It has come on hither in the past that y'all may be reluctant to throw it and harm information technology, some take even had an extra one fabricated just for throwing which will probably be in a better condition than the main one even after being thrown -- take it from me by the time in the evening when it is done the poor thing volition be on its last legs anyhow and any damage will not be noticed - unless one hell of a fight breaks out over catching information technology.
PS - false blossom ones are difficult to throw every bit they are besides lite

I LOATHE boutonniere tosses - for one, it'southward rooted in the old-fashioned thought that a adult female's principal (or simply) goal in life should be to get married. And it tin can also make unmarried-and-wishing-they-weren't girls feel actually uncomfortable. If you have to take one or the other, I'd go for the cake cutting every fourth dimension.
Although personally, as long as I get to swallow some of the cake, I couldn't care how, when or where it is cut

Interesting angle on it. Yes there are many wedding traditions that have their origins in practices that we practice non have these days, take the date band - it has its roots of information technology being a sign of ownership.
Cutting the block which you lot prefer has fifty-fifty more awkward origins to do with the bride loosing her virginity, throwing confetti - originally grains - symbolising fertility to the couple.
Perchance we could start a new tradition - how about a block toss - that would make for some interesting shots

I work in a hotel where we practice weddings. Many people cut into the cake and then us staff take it away and piece information technology all upwards for the guests

Agreed, merely about everything in a modernistic wedding ceremony has it'southward roots in some fairly unpleasant origins, simply near of them are no longer overt - e.g. I don't know anyone who would comment 'nice engagement ring - I see yous're owned past Mr x now' just I've heard people openly speculate on the marital chances/physical appearance of unmarried girls during a bouquet toss and it makes me cringe every time.
Cake toss? Hmmm...scrambling to exist get-go to grab a huge clamper of cake...now that's a tradition I could become backside
