No one can deny the fact that summer is the best time to get married. The weather is warm, the colors and bright and the nature is in full bloom. This is why the most popular wedding venues of today are those outside the doors. There are many gorgeous locations to choose from when planning a warm season wedding. It depends on your budget. If you want something simple, fun and cheap, use your own backyard or an open field. If you care for something wilder, choose a forest or a garden in your local area.

Those who care more for the rustic style can go in the countryside. Beach weddings are also cheaper and extremely beautiful and unique. If you want a luxurious cruise or venue you have to pay more. But the truth is that alfresco weddings are usually more affordable and than other traditional celebrations. The contemporary bride and groom have many options in this sense. If you want to make your wedding a cheerful and joyous place to be for your guests, we suggest you use a colorful theme. Tale cues from the lovely cake designs we’re showing below.

We wanted to share a few of our favorite colored wedding cakes with those of you who are having a modern summer wedding, so we picked this subject for today. The options are numerous, but let’s take a look at these designs. The first cake comes in a soft pale yellow hue, accented by a bolder pink design. The square shaped tiers add more drama to the delicate colors and make it a more elegant confection for a wedding. This cake follows a stunning teardrop design and it looks pretty whimsy. This theme is not appropriate for a wedding but due to the abstract approach no one will actually tell that those are teardrops on your cake!

To keep things cheap and affordable, purchase a smooth fondant cake from your local bakery and then start building the decoration model yourself. Don’t forget to buy a lot of fondant and food coloring to make the ornament. Use your favorite color and roll out the food coloring into a thin sheet. Then cut your favorite shapes by using a cookie cutter and let the confections dry. Attach them to the tiers of the cake with gum paste.

The second image reveals us three tiers of cake arranged in separate displays. These are cherry blossom-inspired confections ideal for spring and summer affairs. We love the dome shape of the tiers and the adorable sugar coated cherry blossoms. The last proposal is a wedding cake with colored paper ornaments. Don’t you just love the festive paper blooms and decorations attached to the simple clean tiers?
