We love seasonal approaches to wedding cakes, especially when your particular wedding season happens to fall into the winter months—there’s something magical about winter weddings with a fresh blanket of snow and hot chocolate to keep everyone warm.
If you want to incorporate the season into your cake design, think about decorating the tiers with a frosted pinecone topper, accents of greenery or metallic glittery details. If you don’t want to bring winter vibes into the cake decor but still want the overall style to look seasonal, think about the presentation instead. A natural birchwood dessert stand or a garland of evergreen branches on the cake table would be enough to play up the style without overdoing it. Get inspired by some of our favorite winter wedding cakes!
