Have you thought about how you might incorporate the season of your wedding into your wedding decor and theme? Using the season of your wedding day within your decor and other details makes everything look so put together and cohesive. Using popular spring wedding ideas, we’ve got a roundup of 36 spring wedding cakes to help you use elements of spring in your wedding cake decor, design and flavours! We also asked our Recommended Suppliers for some top tips in coordinating your cake with your wedding theme!
What are the most popular spring wedding cake designs? Wedding cakes are often used as decor by couples who want their cake to reflect the theme, colour scheme, and season of their day! This is why seasonal colour palettes are essential. The most popular spring wedding cakes include shades of white, pink, yellow, and green. Pastels and neutral tones are common. This is because spring is all about nature and rebirth. Think daffodils, pastel Easter eggs and baby chicks. It's the time for florals, butterflies and abstract shapes. Think pressed wildflowers and naked wedding cakes. With spring wedding cakes, it’s all about nailing that charming and colourful vibe. Our Recommended Suppliers love using wafers or marzipan for hand-crafted flowers!
The springtime is all about chocolate thanks to Easter! So milk, white and dark chocolate flavours are ones you can’t go wrong with. Around this time, that tart and sharp taste of fruit is popular. Think raspberries and strawberries. Plus, we’ve made it clear that floral decor is a big deal for spring wedding cakes. So why not add a floral taste to your cakes? Lavender, orange blossom, and rose are yummy flavours that are complementary to a lot of other ingredients like vanilla, chocolate or blueberry. Honey and champagne are great sweet flavours to play around with too! If you prefer nuts, peanut butter is our fave! More natural flavourings like rosemary and sage are also popular for the spring season.
While simple spring wedding cakes are very popular, decorations are a way to personalise your wedding cake to fit your theme. Flowers, cake toppers, and fruit are all ways to do this. Cake toppers could show off your and your beau's initials, and lyrics from your favourite song, or you could have miniature versions of you made in icing! Popular decorations for spring include lots of flowers! Popular spring wedding flowers include Anemones, Tulips, Sweet Peas, Narcissus, Ranunculus, Peonies, Hyacinths, Lily of the Valley, Freesia, Daffodils, Pansies, Iris, Lilac, Gardenias, Icelandic Poppies, Cherry Blossom, Hydrangeas, and more!
You might want to make use of another trend we can’t get enough of - retro wedding cakes! For spring, we love wildflower-pressed wedding cakes (yes, these flowers are edible) and naked wedding cakes! Naked wedding cakes are very simple in their design so require some colour through their decor. Most cake makers use flowers, which makes these botanical cakes perfect for spring!
Coordination between your wedding cake and the overall theme can be achieved with colour, texture or mirroring little details featured in other parts of your wedding. For example, you can use your initials monogrammed on your invitations and put them onto your cake. Try to give your wedding cake supplier as much info about the details you’d like to pick out, whether it’s lace from your wedding dress or something more abstract that makes a statement. Go into colour schemes, bring along samples or photos of things you've already sorted for your wedding (your venue, stationery and outfits etc.).
