Whimsical yet extremely romantic, black & red themes are very popular for weddings. In fact, all themes based on white, black and red color mixes have become more common during the last few years for nuptials. The mix between red and black is very dramatic and elegant. It is for certain one of the most passionate color combos a couple can select for their wedding. This tonality can help the bride and her groom express their personality and taste in fashion.
We can talk about a club feel that these two hues give, which makes them perfect for a modern dramatic wedding. The red and black theme is striking and contrasting and it can provide a wedding reception with both elegance and vibrancy. It is classy and chic, profound and mystical. These two colors remind us of the Gothic style. You can follow this route if you are willing to plan a bold whimsical wedding. The Goth culture is one of the most controversial and one of the most inciting for a wedding. It can help the couple show off their darker side. Those who love the punk and rock currents will surely enjoy this style too. The Goth aesthetics are ideal for a whimsy wedding cake.

There are many motifs you can get inspired from for your cake & décor, such as: death-centric imagery, macabre symbols, lurid tones and neo-Victorian motifs. Try to follow one of these routes, or try to come up with your own Red and black wedding cake idea. Use dark chocolate ganache to cover the tiers of the cake. This will make up for the black nuance you need for the theme. Color the interior of the cake in black or red, depending on your own preference. We think that a red buttercream cake with a black chocolate filling can make even a more appealing selection. Your guests will adore this shocking surprise and compliment your choice.
Top the cake with black colored roses and violets for a more intricate and magical feel. Use Alice in Wonderland theme to make your cake feel even more romantic. Follow the Mad Hatter style for a more modern specific effect. Choose a cylindrical shape for your cake and adorn it with playing card motifs. Your confection can resemble the Mad Hatter’s chapeau. This would make a sensational idea. Add a few blue-colored cupcakes to make this theme feel even more whimsical. Those who want the romantic style to prevail can choose a Victorian cake. For a formal wedding, choose trifles in black and red. The cake can be based on old-fashion Victorian cake recipes. Flavors like brandy, fruits and jam, whipped cream, and nuts are original selections. For more drama, place the trifles in glass dishes.

Modern-day weddings are fashionable and glamorous. These are the principal directions our wedding designers like to work with for their projects. If we are to refer at wedding cakes, gold and fashion-inspired confections are the trendiest ones. There is something prestigious about the gold and luxury wedding cakes created today by our talented designers. They evoke splendor and originality. You don’t have to use real gold to make your cake look outstanding. You can utilize gold dust and glitter instead to accent a white simple cake and obtain a more sophisticated look.
Gold leaf icing, gold beads and rich scrollwork are other unique details and patterns you can consider for your cake. Gold is not the only element you can use to make a cake look luxurious. But it is for certain one of the most adequate themes. Gold is the symbol of prosperity and this is why we think it can make such an inspired choice. This theme also stands for good health, wealth, success and purity. If used wisely, gold can also express perfection and purity. So, if you are thinking of adopting a gold theme for your wedding cake, consider using this color or element throughout the entire event.

Make sure you announce your guests that it’s a formal extravagant wedding you’re planning. They should put on their fanciest cloths and their most lavish jewels to fit the wedding theme. Plan a Ball Room themed wedding reception to offer the best host to your golden wedding cake. Your event will surely be spectacular. Imagine how fabulous your wedding photos will be! Those who wear gold are believed to feel more courageous than the usual. They also say that gold can increase one’s personal power. Your cake can feature a richer color scheme, such as gold, olive and brown. This color mix is pretty sophisticated and whimsical. It can make a fabulous choice for an autumn wedding reception, don’t you think?
Use gold icing and flowers to enrich the look of the tiers. Another unique idea for a gold cake is to opt for a more romantic color mix based on pink and bronze. The gold accents will add even more opulence to the overall design. The effect will be splendid! Choose a three tier cake, so that you have more space to place your favorite decorations. You can opt for a simple white and gold accent wedding cake in case you are having a smaller or more intimate reception. Fuchsia, honey gold and chocolate brown is another special color combo you can select for your wedding cake. This tonality can also fit a fall wedding reception. Use crystal diamonds if you want to make the design even more appealing.

Couples who want a unique wedding cake can choose a bicolor theme. Modern wedding cakes are no longer white, plain and tall. They look the contrary: colorful, textured and smaller. Current trends show us more and more unique models and themes to choose from. That’s why it can be extremely difficult for a couple to make their final decision based on the existing style. It’s always clever to narrow down the palette of options by considering your own favorite color, flavor and shape.
Take into consideration the formality, season and locale of the wedding when making this choice as well. This will surely help you make a wiser decision in this regard. Modern themes are incredibly versatile and easy to implement throughout the event. Black and blue is one of the most whimsical themes you can select for your wedding. Start with the invitations and end up with the guest favors. This theme is easy to work with because it can be found in a lot of materials and fabrics you can use for your wedding. The bride herself can choose a blue accent for her dress or a black detail, depending on the effect she wants to create. But it’s always safer to choose the color theme of the wedding for the bridesmaids and wedding cake.

These are the two most important “centerpieces” of a wedding that can reflect properly a unique color mix or theme. Black and blue is ideal for ocean inspired weddings, but not only. It can suit a contemporary urban celebration – whimsical or glamorous. This color combo is elegant and it lends a sophisticated feel to any wedding ceremony and reception. It can add a mystical touch to the décor and make the entire event look more creative. When it comes to wedding cakes, black & blue is favored especially by men. This color mix is extremely bold, imposing and masculine, to say so. A black and blue wedding cake can make a surprising statement at the reception and add an unexpected touch to the party.
This tonality is anything but traditional. Now, it depends on the exact shade of blue you’re choosing. Dark blues work well for modern sophisticated celebrations. A bicolor theme can be well reflected in a cake through a unique pattern. Try a chevron pattern if you’re having a beach wedding, or a polka dot design for a cuter look. Stripes, plaids and small floral accents can also fit this theme. Opt for a damask cake in black and blue for a more dramatic formal look. A simple black cake with blue ribbons can make a spectacular choice. The colors can be used vice versa. Ask the baker to show you different patterns to make sure you choose the right one.

The modern couple should not feel any restriction when it comes to choosing the theme or color for their wedding. White is no longer the most adequate selection for a wedding. The contrary, white themes are nowadays very rare or considered traditional enough to fit only conservative couples and those who want a classic wedding. Colored themes are taking the lead nowadays. Come to think about it, it was about time for our designers to start incorporating more color in their wedding projects. And we say this because the modern times have brought an intense desire for uniqueness.
Our brides and grooms are constantly seeking for new things they can use in their wedding. This means that they are ready to embrace any color or theme, no matter how weird or unusual it may be. Weddings are wonderful opportunities to celebrate love and romance. And one color theme that is elegant enough to suit a wedding is red. This nuance is great for celebrating a special wedding day based on commitment and family. The ceremony and reception must feel like magical spaces for the couple and their invitees. Don’t forget that your wedding will be immortalized in photos and on video.

Make sure that your wedding is worth remembered and cherished for a lifetime! They say that the secret to a beautiful wedding is to use a unique color theme. Everything must reflect the color you picked, starting with the invitations and the bride and bridesmaids attires and ending up with the centerpieces, cake and guest favors. Let’s take the cake for example. They say that the cake is a key part of a wedding reception. If you have a long list of guests you need to invest more in the size of the cake. Either way, the design and taste of the cake are also to be considered.
The color of the cake will captivate the attention and make the wedding attendants eagerly wait for you to cut the cake and eat a slice. Red is a wonderful color for a cake as it is intense, eye-catchy and very rich. It suits perfectly well a romantic reception. Although red is considered a traditional color for a wedding, when it comes to wedding cakes, this nuance seems rather trendy. There are limitless ways to add red splashes to a wedding cake. You can focus on a sophisticated or fun pattern for instance, like polka dot, chevron, plaid or stripe. Don’t forget about the magnificent damask pattern – which is one of the most elegant. Combine red with another hue, for a more extravagant effect. Red and white is a lovely theme to try, but don’t stray from choosing a contrasting hue for red, like purple, green or orange.

There are hundreds of ideas on how to use this theme in a wedding and most of all, how to incorporate it in a wedding cake. The idea of planning a simple white cake may seem too plain and boring for those who want a formal wedding but with a dramatic touch. In this context, adding a burst of black color to the white tiers can highlight the beauty of the theme and captivate the attention of your guests in a nice way. It doesn’t have to be a simple black and white confection. You can add a third splash of color, this time something brighter, like red, green or pink. These flashy nuances will surely add more sophistication and uniqueness to the entire confection. Be creative and make your black and white cake stand out.
You can use a special topper based on a shimmering silver monogram or on a colorful bouquet of flowers trailing down the tiers. White & black wedding cakes are chic and eye-catchy no matter what you use. It can be a chevron pattern in black and white, or an ombre theme based on different shades of black, gray and ivory. Those who want a richer look can choose black polka dots on a white canvas, or vice versa. Chess patterns are also recommended for a black and white themed cake. You can use stripes or plaids to give more life to your confection. We also enjoy damask patterned cakes and their timeless elegance.

The wedding cake is nowadays planned based on the theme and style of the event. If the wedding occurs outside the doors and it features an eco-friendly theme, the couple can focus on a green color. This nuance is extremely rich and eye-catchy and we think it can fit perfectly well an organic wedding cake. It doesn’t have to be a homemade confection, anyway. You will need green colored food to cover and decorate your cake. You can purchase pre-made edible decorations from a local store and adorn the cake in your own way, or simply purchase a couture cake from a talented designer.
In most cases, the venue has many contracts with different venues and caterers. This means that you must check with their contacts first and see if it’s profitable this way or if they can make you the cake you want. Green themed weddings are very popular. This color is modern, fresh and refreshing. It can make a wonderful selection for a warm season wedding, especially for spring. This is the time when the entire nature is brought back to life. The grass and the trees are all green and the flowers are in full bloom. This makes the best backdrop for a nature-inspired wedding reception.

A green cake can fit perfectly well the setting and add even more splendor and luxury to the décor. Modern wedding cakes are definitely significant parts of the décor. They are sometimes displayed during the reception party on the same table with the desserts. Or, you can create a special buffet and ornate it in a more unique way exclusively for the cake. Put the table in the middle of the wedding or somewhere your guests can see it properly. Green can suit wonderfully well alfresco receptions. You can choose from a wide range of green shades, from light to darker hues.
Pale and light greens are ideal for spring affairs, while richer green tones like forest, sage and mint are more adequate for summer. Green is also great for fall celebrations. You can use hunter or camo green. For winter, consider bright holiday greens. If your wedding occurs on a beach in the middle of summer, opt for an emerald green tonality. Your cake will surely sparkle like a real emerald stone! Lime and meadow greens are indicated for spring and summer outdoors receptions. Use the leaf motif to create a fresh cover for your cake or any other green detail or accent. Chevron patterned cakes in white and green are juicy and trendy for a 2012 wedding. Use green, blue and purple for a peacock themed wedding and concentrate more on the green hues. Mint flavors are fabulous for hot summery weddings.

This is why we get to see so many classic and vintage themes and currents implemented and used today for different wedding projects.

And one of the most popular is the black & white theme. This color mix is one of the most sought after and appreciated among traditionalist couples. This mix is supposed to show of the bride and groom’s preference in style and taste in fashion. Black & white weddings are beautiful reflections of the elegance of the newlyweds. Nevertheless, not everybody falls for this style. Many find this theme too monotone and standard. If you think this too, add a touch of color to the palette and make the black and white nuances look more inviting and eye-catchy.

Black and white themes can be boring indeed, but not when used with style and class. We find this combo pretty distinctive from what we get to see in everyday weddings! This color palette is neutral and simple, but this is precisely the thing that makes it look so unique and eye-catchy. Within the myriad of color palettes incorporated in modern weddings, we think that a black and white theme can make all the difference. You can play with black and white tones for a beautiful wedding cake. We think that black & white wedding cakes are extremely elegant and appealing. They are fit for a formal black tie affair but also for informal weddings planned outside the doors. It doesn’t have to be something very intricate and pompous.
Anyone can buy a plain white cake from a local bakery and decorate it with black ribbons. This procedure is affordable and satisfactory for those who are talented in this field. Adorn your white cake with smooth black fondant, shaped in different motifs or figures. Add a few red flowers to create a more eye-catchy look for your cake. There are many themes that can be done in black and white for those who want something more artistic, like chess, zebra or chevron patterns. You can select black and white damask for a fancier look or a floral print for a more romantic effect. You can go abstract or whimsical, depending on the wedding formality.

The cake can be selected based on a myriad of important aspects. One of them is the color scheme of the event. If your wedding is white, you can choose a white cake or a chicer design in black and white. Your palette of options should not stop here, however. You should be able to consider other color choices, based on your vision and preference. Not everybody is into all-white themed weddings. If the bride’s dress is white, the cake can be of a different color, for a striking accent.
What do you think of the red hue? We love this color for a wedding and the way it creates such a bold statement and drama. Those who find red just too overpowering for a wedding cake can combine it with white and obtain a more elegant theme. No one can deny that white and red themes are fabulous for weddings! The bride herself can opt for a white and red accented wedding gown. The effect will be terrific! Those who want a bicolor scheme based on white but don’t want something as serious as the black & white theme can select red and white instead.

This mix is still classy, dainty and extremely chic. Nothing can compare to the vibrancy of red and the finesse of white when combined with class and flair for a wedding cake. This color combo is used by many brides because it is juicy and delicious, especially when selected for the wedding desserts. Colorful desserts are always the focal point of attention of a wedding. Guests love browsing through different sweets and treats ordered or made especially for them at a wedding. The white and red theme can make your candy table look even more appealing than the usual. You shouldn’t use just candies, but any other creamy delicacies and biscuits. The idea of creating a special table for the desserts and cake is savored by many brides and grooms of today. They are flattered by this trend and think it will add more success to their wedding.
Your cake can be based on buttercream, vanilla or velvet. There are many other flavors that go with a white and red themed cake. If the wedding occurs in summer, choose a strawberry filling or taste accent. Seasonal fruit flavors are ideal for colorful wedding cakes. They add more spiciness and exoticism to the confection and more emotion to the invitees. Your cake can be white and accented with a few red roses or other blooms, like poppies, peonies, ranunculuses, dahlias, orchids or calla lilies. The confection can be stacked or arranged on a stand in separate tiers. Choose the design that fits best the formality and amplitude of your wedding.

One of the trendiest themes for weddings, and more precisely for wedding cakes is the rainbow theme. This seems like a fabulous selection for cheerful wedding celebrations. Those who have no idea what color to choose for their wedding have the opportunity to pick at least five tones. This sounds amazing, right? We know that brides are always sad because they don’t get the chance to use more options, but a single one. The wedding day is unique and it will never happen again. This is why there is only one bride, one wedding dress and one cake.
Everything should be exclusive and original and this is why women are sad because they don’t get to use more of their ideas and imagination. But we think that a rainbow theme can make a fabulous opportunity in this sense. You can choose your favorite tones and match them well. If they are not mixed right they won’t look elegantly enough for a wedding. This is the bigger risk when it comes to rainbow themed weddings or multi-color themes. The risk is to use too many tones and none of them to suit the other. If you want to use the shades of the same palette you can choose the ombre effect. Pick purple or pink and use colors in different tones, starting from the paler nuances and ending up with the darkest ones.

This effect is magical and extremely adequate for a wedding cake. But the rainbow theme is even more exotic and eye-catchy because it features distinctive hues. You can use the original colors of the rainbow or something close, based on your favorite nuances. The colors of the rainbow are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. We love this palette and we think that it is one of the fanciest and most spectacular for a wedding. This color spectrum is based on a natural phenomenon, let’s not forget it. The rainbow theme has a special symbolism among Christian people. The rainbow is a sign from God that signifies peace over the people. So, judging by this meaning we think that the rainbow them is ideal for a marriage based on love, commitment, understanding and peace.
The blessing of God is essential in the life of a new couple and so this theme can be the very symbol of this blessing. Rainbow wedding cakes are very popular. More and more brides and grooms decide to adopt this color mix for their cake. This theme can be featured inside, in the filling, or it can be shown at the exterior, in the frosting or icing of the cake. If you want to surprise your guests, choose a white cake filled with rainbow cream.
