Incorporate your favourite blooms into your wedding cake with a little help and inspiration from us..
Flowers have always been a beautiful addition to any wedding cake but there are so many ways to do it, from sugar flowers to painted or fresh flowers, the list goes on and this can make things a little tricky when trying to decide what you would like to incorporate into your wedding. So we are here to provide you with a little inspiration and help when it comes to your cake!
Sugar Flowers
A beautiful and traditional way of incorporating flowers into your wedding cake is by using sugar flowers. They are very intricate and the sheer detail and effort that goes into making these are perfectly visible. You are able to appreciate the craftsmanship of the cake decorator. There are so many flowers and colours that can be used. A really good thing about this is that the flowers will last a very long time and can also be eaten!
Fresh Flowers
You can also use fresh flowers. This is the perfect way to match your wedding bouquet to the cake as you are able to use the same stems. It also adds a beautiful airy feel to the cake and a freshness that you can't have with sugar flowers.
Semi Naked Cakes
This is a new and growing trend that accents fresh flowers to create the perfect country or vintage feel. This involves not fully icing the cake and adding flowers and/or fruit for decor. The colours and types of flower that you add can result in a huge variety of looks. Use pale neutrals for a simple and elegant feel or go bold with a variety of colourful stems to add a pop of vibrancy to your big day.
Waterfall
We think this speaks for itself, the effortless beauty of flowers cascading down the tiers of cake creates a stunning look. You could do this with sugar and fresh flowers or even piped buttercream flowers.
Painted Flowers
For a more floral look why not opt for painted flowers? Your guests are sure to appreciate the true art and intricacy in the design and it adds a true Victorian theme into your day.
Edible Flowers
Why not make the entire cake edible with flowers that you and your guests can eat! There are so many varieties and tastes that you can choose from. This is the perfect way to add a summery ambience to the day.
