Five Best Wedding Cake Decoration Ideas

After a wedding ceremony, it is very common to serve invited guests with wedding cake as dessert. A good and presentable wedding cake decoration comes from the creativity and ideas of the cake decorator. In the decoration process, planning is the most crucial part. Apart from the taste, it is very important that the cake looks elegant, loyal and grand.

Classic Elegance decoration style is built on three-tiered length base. The cake is iced with off-white fondant and decorated with beautiful fresh cream scroll work. It is topped with a cluster of cream flowers and other wedding cake accessories such as ribbons are placed at the surrounding of the cake.

In Classic Romantic Heart design, the cake is built on round shape stand with maximum of 3 tiers in height. The design features two love crystal hearts and a pairs of dove on the top of the cake. The cream color of the cake should be in pearl white. The top layer of the cake is decorated with crystal hearts and dove; both are considered as the elegant sign for everlasting love.

Forever Love Red Roses decoration idea used red fresh roses as its main attraction. The cake usually is square or rectangular in shape with several tiers. Dowels and cake separator are used between tiers. The cake frost is in pearl color and the cake base is in white color. Cream color royal icing is used to make roses and dots.

Orchid White Fondant Natural wedding cake decoration idea emphasizes on natural born love and comes in multiple tiers. The cake has multiple folded layers of greenish scroll work. The white fondant for the cake is garnished with spotted purple orchids and always avoids detailed table decorations as the cake itself is much complicated and detailed.

The Fresh Fruit Royal Icing wedding cake is built on the original love message that bridegroom needs to deliver to the bride. The cake is covered in marzipan and layered with fondant fresh white icing. Royal icing and simple scroll work are also added to the cake decoration. The top layer should consist of not more than three types of fruits. The fruits colors should be contrast as the base of the cake is in white.

Wedding Table Decorations

So you are finally starting to plan all the details of your weddings. There are so many tasks that can take up your time. One of the major things that worry couples is the minute things, such as flower selection, party favors, and overall theme. However once most of these details are ironed out, the little things start to come out. When a theme is selected, the hall then needs to be decorated. After the hall is decorated, you have to worry about the reception. When sitting at tables as well as dancing and socializing, your guests will notice this environment as much as they noticed the church. However, I think that one of the main pieces will be the table centerpieces.

One of the most traditional choices for table centerpieces is the floral arrangements. It seems as though they are the easiest to match to any theme. The first decision you need to make is whether the flowers will be real or fake. Both options are equally as lovely, however some couples decide that they don’t want to be stuck with hundreds of artificial flowers. On the other hand, couples also choose not to throw out hundreds or real flowers. Another thing to debate when thinking of flowers, are the amount, color, as well as whether ribbons and other greenery will be used. Of course all of these options are decided by your preference. The final step, after deciding on an arrangement, is deciding what type of vase they will be placed in. Remember that the vase decided on is what can bring the arrangement together.

Another option for a table arrangement is candles. Candles can be an exciting option to add to a room. They can add fragrance as well as light. Or candles can simply be for decoration. The two major things to think about when deciding upon candles are fragrance and how they will be displayed. If the candles are to be burned, then fragrance is the next option that should be decided. Just remember that fragrance can affect the color, so if a couple is set on a fragrance, the color might have to be changed. The second option is generally pretty easily taken care of. Presentation of candles is usually in glass holders to optimize burning, or the display.

I hope that you have found a simple solution to arranging the tables. The trick to decoration is to match your surroundings as well as please the eye. Just look around and settle when you are finally happy with your decisions.
