Notice how her all-white sugar flowers are complemented by the real flowers at the centre of the table - providing the ultimate balance for an ultra-luxe look.
Gold, cream, and white hues provide a harmonious combo for a traditionally elegant event, yet with an edge.
And, the pale green foliage, together with the addition of fruit, provides a subtle natural and abundant finish to the overall look.

2. Bold and Beautiful Unconventional Options
Bold and beautiful can be daunting for some wedding couples...understandably, you don't want something to look out of place or odd.
When an experienced florist and a luxury-cake designer work hand in hand the results can look like this...

So if you love the colour - don't shy away from it because you feel pressured to embrace the more classical white look, embrace and make the best of it.
It can still look luxurious, and elegant!
Be vocal about your heart's desires to both your florist and cake designer.
Together, we can consider your chosen venue, decor, floral choices, colour palette, flavours, textures and so much more to ensure all elements are accounted for and perfectly balanced for the desired impact.

3. Emphasise Your Venue's Unique Details
On that note...here's a perfect example of ours on how to use your cake and florals to emphasise your chosen venue's unique details.
The venue (most of the time) is the most expensive part of your wedding, it's important to make the most of it - it's the anchor for the entire day.
Notice how the gold beading of the wall panels at this luxury venue is echoed in this ultra-luxe cake design (Luxury Cakes Yevnig) and floral design (Blooming Haus)...

Couples are finally celebrating being able to say 'I do' after all the restrictions that were previously in place and they're doing so with magnificent style.

Atop the cake are a stunning sugar dahlia and ivory rose blooms with sprays of gold foliage.
Our fresh rose and gold flowers here complement the elegance and grandeur of the overall design.

4. Fresh Flowers That Echo Your Wedding Installations
We love Anna Lewis's wedding cakes for the way she embraces the use of sugar flowers, wafer paper, rice paper, and fresh flowers!
Whether she focuses on one material option or combines choices, the end result is always unique and magical.
Take a look at this example...

The minimal flowing icing detail is complemented with a pop of colour from the real flowers at the top that manipulates your eyes, drawing them downwards.
By using fresh flowers Anna was able to tie in perfectly with the overarching design.
This type of cake can be a great way of saving money without compromising on the end result.
Sugar flowers take a ton of hours to craft, and natural flowers can be arranged by your florist and expertly attached to the cake an hour before the occasion.
Before the cake is cut the fresh flowers are easily removed.

This is another of our favourite Anna Lewis creations.
It's the perfect example of how wedding cakes can reflect a botanic or nature-centric wedding theme.
Anna presses the flowers herself so each cake is the result of her personal passion and attention to detail.

Not everyone loves a very thick layer of icing!
If that's you and your partner then consider this creative icing option.
Semi-nude wedding cakes are a fabulous choice!
This example of Edible Essence Cake Art combines traditional white icing with glimpses of what lies beneath.
We think it works beautifully with the feature wall too - every detail has been considered.

Having the blooms flow down the cake in this way draws the eye all the way down to the romantic flower and candle table landscape.
