5 Beautiful wedding cake ideas

1. Simple wedding cake – perfect for a beach wedding
This wedding cake would be perfect for a beach wedding as it is simple and understated. The plain white icing creates the perfect blank canvas for the bright flowers which inject colour without being overpowering. The delicate beading element at the base of each tier adds detail without taking away from the cake’s simplicity and purity. A cake like this is so versatile and can be easily adapted to most wedding themes and colour schemes – simply alter the flowers.

2. Traditional and classic wedding cake
If it’s a more traditional wedding you’re having, particularly one that is taking place in an historic building such as a country house or castle, then this wedding cake would be perfect. This beautiful wedding cake would tie in seamlessly if the bride carries a bouquet of red roses tied with white ribbon at the base or if she wears tiny red roses in her hair.  The swirly icing detail on the base tier adds an element of classic wedding style while the brooch-like pearl details at the front of each tier give it a feminine edge. It would be a shame to cut into this one!
