If you're thinking about your wedding cake, then you're probably bowled over with the choices. From alternative cakes, to naked cakes, to three-tiered beauties, the options are endless. Even once you pick the type of cake, you have to think about flavours, colours and texture. If you're thinking of a spring wedding, this cake trend will be absolute dream for you.
Pastel cakes are a beautiful addition to a spring or summer wedding in particular. They're bright, colourful, and you can have them in any style you want. We love the ombre look for pastel cakes, particularly with more than one colour.
One block colour is good too and we have a particular soft spot for blush and pastel pink. A timeless wedding colour, blush is easy to match with flowers, dresses and general colour schemes. Just don't go overboard with the pink colour, you don't want it looking too girly for your groom.
Once you've picked your pretty pastel shade and decided on one colour or two, don't forget about the texture and actual design of your cake. If you want to keep it simple, a smooth, plain texture might be perfect. However, if you're opting for something a little different, then don't neglect the other options you have. Geometric shapes on your cake have been hot trends recently, but we also adore the elegant look of a hand-painted design on your cake like this duck egg blue cake. It's simple, minimalist, but still stunning and incredibly bespoke.
Whatever your cake preference, we're confident you'll find a fabulous one in the pastel cake trend, especially if you're thinking of tying the knot in the spring.
