30 Wedding Cakes So Elegant, We Can't Look Away
Besides the blushing bride, the wedding cake is like the centerpiece of a wedding. And rightly so, since it's basically like a piece of art -- well, one that can also be eaten (which arguably makes it the best kind of art). With the right design and flavor choice, we'd go so far as to say a couple's wedding cake is basically like the edible embodiment of the couple themselves. So it's no wonder why people go to such great lengths to make sure their cake is perfect for their style.
No longer do couples feel pressured to have the standard three-tiered white cake with the stereotypical bride and groom wedding topper. From florals to ombré and marble, there are so many different designs, shapes, colors, and styles when it comes to wedding cakes. Each couple can express their own style!
We get it. Just like how to most, a wedding dress isn't just an ordinary dress, a wedding cake isn't an ordinary wedding cake either.
But despite all these trends, there is one thing that's tried and true when it comes to wedding cakes: elegance. An elegant, stunning, and well-designed wedding cake is truly timeless and something that shines through all the other trends.
Read ahead to check out elegant wedding cakes that'll inspire any bride-to-be -- or anyone else who likes a little cake eye-candy!
