When planning a wedding, couples work hard to ensure every detail of their wedding communicates the aesthetic and theme. When coming up with a wedding cake design, many couples take inspiration from elements of the wedding itself, such as the bride’s bouquet or the color palette selected for the celebration. But what about designing a cake to complement your wedding venue? Learn several techniques for wedding cake designs inspired by your wedding venue.
Think About Proportion and Scale
The best way to create harmony between your wedding cake and your wedding venue is to consider the proportion and scale of the venue. Venues with soaring cathedral ceilings will be well suited to a taller, multi-tiered cake that mimics the setting’s vertical elements.
You can also seek inspiration from decorative details present within your wedding venue. For example, studying the style of architectural crown moldings or egg-and-dart motifs present in a grand ballroom can give you some inspiration for wedding cake ideas that employ elaborate decorating techniques. Leveraging these details can bring touches of personality to your wedding cake and give your cake and venue a coordinated appearance.
Create a Statement in a Blank Canvas Space
If your wedding venue is simple but sophisticated in its decor, you can use the setting to your advantage to play up the beauty of your wedding cake. Instead of one tall, tiered wedding cake displayed in this type of setting, you may opt for a wedding cake design that favors shorter single or two-tier cakes atop pedestals. You can place the pedestals on a long buffet table with other mini-desserts to create contrast and focus.
Borrow Blooming Inspiration from Nature
If your wedding ceremony and reception are outdoors, you can look to nature for abundant inspiration for your wedding cake design. A floral-themed wedding cake with cascades of flowers (either real, sugar paste, or created with frosting) would be the perfect complement to a wedding set in a garden. For a woodland wedding, a cake covered in lacy piped frosting ferns would be a beautiful sight to behold.
