The Endless Possibilities of Flowers
Flowers on a wedding cake might seem like a common sight, but their ability to transform an otherwise plain cake is astounding. Flowers come in every size, shape, and color you could want. Their versatility creates endless options for a bride and groom to choose from.
A look that never fails is flower buds flowing down the side of a beautiful, three-tiered dessert. Added to a pure white cake, the pop of color is hard to keep your eyes off of! This design is simple enough, but it’s so easy to personalize to your style and vision for your wedding. You simply cannot go wrong with this look!
The succulents are a nice surprise!
Deeper colors like red are extremely eye-catching against white icing!
If you find the cascading flower pedals to be a bit much, you can still create a stunning look with a simple garnish. A small arrangement on top or simple ring around the middle has the same effect as an elaborate display. As long as flowers are somewhere, any way you slice it your cake will be a focal point of your wedding reception!
All it takes is a few splashes of color to bring a simple wedding cake to life!
