A show-stopping wedding cake should be a focal point for elegant weddings. Detailing should capture the look of the day. Pearls, lace, gold etching are just some of the creative detail to lend to the wedding theme, but also creates a timeless look.
PLANNING THE WEDDING CAKE
When planning a glamorous wedding, the design of the cake is of utmost importance. The secret is adding the right amount of drama to suit your big day. Are you planning an over-the-top modern celebration with pearls and bold color, or a classic, timeless celebration with hints of drama? Either way, a wedding cake makes a styling statement and big impact on the celebration.
GLAMOROUS WEDDING CAKE TIPS
To create the perfect wedding cake, meet with your wedding cake designer and bring your favorite inspiration such as a photos of your gown, ideas of what the bridal party will be wearing, inspiration weddings that make you sigh, or samples of wedding detail that has caught your eye on Pinterest.
Having an idea of color scheme, textures (for glamorous, think luxurious fabrics like silk, delicate beading, vintage linens with gold accents, and mixed metallics), the amount of modern vs. classic glamour, and color palette will help in the planning process. Remember that you are after show-stopping drama, which calls for a tall cake with plenty of layers. Layers with square edges and modern accents in gold, silver, black, or purple will help to create the overall theme.
WEDDING CAKE PRESENTATION
Planning the wedding cake details include presentation. How the cake will be presented is of utmost importance. Some suggestions for displaying the cake include elaborate, gold-embellished stands, tables, with layered boxes in varying levels to create a visually appealing and dramatic look. A vintage dresser or distressed wood table, lend character and more subtle detail. A fabulous, distressed table or vintage piece is also a great addition to the wedding reception décor. Display the cake in front of soft linen or sheer fabric to create a scene for the cake display. Subtle light in an accent color also adds drama. If you are looking for a very dramatic and glamorous look, we suggest purple.
Strands of pearls, a chandelier dripping with crystals, and soft, romantic lighting will create drama. A mirror-covered table with gold accents is a great option for modern and elegant events. Plenty of tall, over-sized centerpieces set in vintage vases are also a nice touch.
A classic, timeless wedding cake that is also glamorous can be achieved with a lightly-colored fondant in shades of ivory, white, or champagne. Hints of color can be added in gold etching, plumes, and pearl accents, which also lend some drama. Light pinks, greens, and pastels are great options for a romantic color palette. Tiny sugar flowers with gold trim, delicate lace edging and romantic ruffles made from fondant adds just the right amount of romantic flair.
