Chelsea’s Gown:

Chelsea wore a strapless Vera Wang gown that had a raw-edged laser reduce swirling silk organza complete skirt and train — very on-trend. The bodice was a silk tulle diagonally-draped bodice. The attire was also accented by embellished beading at the waist.

It was a classic wedding gown look that was elevated with these unique additional touches. Wang has designed wedding dresses for celebrities like Ivanka Trump, Jennifer Garner, and Jennifer Lopez. A cathedral-length veil added to the drama of the attire. You’re paying for a designer name and the greatest fabric having a couture gown.

Presidential Cake: $10,000 to $12,000

Chelsea and Marc’s wedding cake was a whopping nine tiers, 500 pounds and 4-feet tall made by a 9-person team at La Tulipe Desserts in Hudson Valley. The cake was extremely traditional and elegant. It was mostly white with little accents of silver. There were small circular designs on the base of each cake (almost like half-wheels of little silver beads) with one,000 edible sugar blossoms (mostly roses, a little bit of hydrangeas, calla lilies, and two types of orchids) that were delicately brushed with pearl accent. Since Chelsea is allergic to gluten and is a vegan, the wedding cake was gluten-free (not vegan, though) and vanilla with dark chocolate mousse. Plus all the ingredients were local, and the cake was mostly organic. La Tulipe Dessert’s prices start at $12 per slice.

Spending budget Wedding Cake: Sweet Element: $4 per slice

We had Sweet Element in New York create a similar wedding cake using four key budget elements: One big way to save would be to actually “fake the cake.” Just have your baker make a smaller wedding cake, and serve guests having a sheet cake from the back. Trust us — your guests won’t even notice! Instead of time-consuming and costly sugar flowers, ask your cake baker to work with your florist and use fresh flowers as the cake decor instead. Fresh roses are about $5 a bloom; White orchids are about $5 a bloom. Plus, by the time the wedding cake is supposed to be reduce, chances are, your guests are pretty complete! So order half the size of a wedding cake you’d need (i.e. 500 guests means cake for 250 people) and really serve half-servings. Opt for butter cream icing! Butter cream not only is less expensive than fondant, but some cake connoisseurs also say it’s more delicious than fondant.

The total for the Sweet Element cake and $4 per slice — so a total of 75 % less than La Tulipe Desserts.

Presidential Blossoms: Huppa: $35,000 to $45,000 believed

Chelsea’s huppa was probably $35,000 to $40,000 because of the branches and blossoms covering the top. Most people use material for the top of huppa since it’s more cost-effective.

We also had LDF Floral & Event Design create an altar with two tall buckets of branches ($125 each), along with a splattering of white hydrangeas only on the front and bottom. By only placing blossoms in the front, you’ll only require about a dozen blossoms between the two branches costing about $100. Believed price of this altar? Just $500!
