Autumn wedding cake ideas

Autumn wedding cake ideas


It's interesting:
"Sometimes people get upset when their friend gets married, especially if they don’t know the bride too well. Well, the way I see it – today I’m not losing one friend to marriage, but gaining one instead. And, if you look over at our college friends sitting at table 9, it’ll highlight how nice it will be for us to gain a new member of the crew, a new best friend, especially one who clearly bathes regularly."

The wedding cake is a much-anticipated detail in autumn nuptials, simply because of the season's rich colors and details, enough to stir different emotions from onlookers. From serene and romantic to whimsical and eccentric, there is an abundance of designs you can choose from for your fall-themed wedding cake, depending on your style and personality as a couple. Let nature guide you and the season's elements inspire you, as you talk to your cake designer about creating a unique autumn wedding cake.

Does this Spark an idea?

  1. Autumn Flowers

    • Autumn blooms in clear glass bowls can serve as cake stands.

      Capture the romantic essence of autumn with flowers in the season's nostalgic colors. Decorate your wedding cake with either fresh or confectionery blooms. If you don't want flowers on the tiers, put them inside large glass bowls instead to serve as cake stands. A simple butter cream cake adorned with autumn lilies, mums, zinnias and asters completes your fall wedding theme.

    Fall Leaves and Pumpkins

    • Decorate the cake and surrounding table with pumpkins and autumn foliage.

      Decorate your wedding cake with leaves in fall colors of deep red or burnt orange. Add little pumpkins to reinforce the whole autumn feel. You can have real leaves and pumpkin or leaves cut out from paper as well as papier-mache or plastic pumpkins bought from craft stores or handmade by your bridesmaids. Choose to place these embellishments on the cake tiers themselves or as table toppers to accessorize the cake table.

    Autumn Details

    • Your cake decorater can embellish the cake with fall leaves, vines and berries.

      Add a whimsical touch to your wedding cake with confectionery autumn details. Have your cake decorator create an assortment of fall items such as acorns, leaves, flowers, branches and berries as intricate and tasteful cake trimmings. Carefully designed autumn cake details are sure to grab your guests' attention.

    Autumn Colored Cupcakes

    • Make an autumn wedding cake with cupcakes in fall colors.

      Opt for several smaller cake versions or cupcakes instead of the regular wedding cake. Have them created and/or decorated in fall colors of red, orange, ochre and brown. Stack them neatly in layers on a cake stand to create a three-, four- or five-tiered cake. Add autumn trimmings to complement your wedding theme, then serve one cupcake per guest for dessert or as a wedding favor.
