Fall and Autumn Themed Wedding Cakes

January 21st, 2010 | Author: DessertLover

If you are having a wedding during the Autumn season, then having a wedding cake that incorporates all the fall colors is a no-brainer. The fall color palette is one of the most popular choices for color schemes this season so brides are carrying those traditional fall colors such as gold, brown, orange, reds, and bronze through to their wedding accessories and bridal flowers as well. When it comes to the cake, you can choose to incorporate these colors directly into the icing and fondant colors or you can choose to use them more subtly as accents or in the cake accessories.

Since fall is traditionally harvest time in the United States, many cake designers will incorporate shafts of wheat, sugared apples, or pumpkins into a fall wedding cake. However the most popular way to incorporate fall is through the use of autumn leaves constructed from fondant, sugar, marzipan or modeling chocolate. Baking artisans have gotten so good at their craft that the leaves can look real in many instances. You can even consider using real fall leaves on the cake table that surrounds the final masterpiece.

In the photo below, I have presented 16 of my all-time favorite fall cake designs. I hope that they provide you some inspiration when you are trying to decide on the color scheme and style for your seasonal wedding cake. And don’t forget that when it comes to the cake flavor for a fall wedding, you can break from tradition and go with something more seasonal like a pumpkin or apple spice cake or a chocolate cake with caramel pecan filling. Don’t be afraid to try something a little different! And if you are still looking for wedding favors, check out these autumn leaf wedding cake candles….they are amazing.

Autumn Wedding Inspiration Board

January 6th, 2010 | Author: WeddingBlogger

Autumn is traditionally when people focus on the prosperity of the season and give thanks for all the blessings in their lives. What better time to celebrate the union of two lives!

The magnificent colors of Autumn are inspiration enough for a fall themed wedding. Reds, golds, oranges, browns, and greens can be incorporated in just about every aspect of the wedding including the flowers and bridesmaid dresses. Using a harvest theme, “Fall in Love” leaf motif, or a fall fruit such as ripening apples can also provide a great base for an Autumn inspired wedding. When it comes to the reception decorations or centerpieces, focus on nature’s abundance and utilize things like gourds, fall leaves, pumpkins, berries, apples, and corn along with candles (you can even find floating candles with a leaf shape).

Below you will find some of my favorite colors, fashion and decorations for an Autumn-inspired wedding. I hope that you find it useful when you are planning your own fall nuptials!
