Green is the colour of the moment - so says Pantone, who have named Greenery their colour of 2017 and the wedding scene seems to heartily agree. Weddings are bursting with an abundance of greenery, plants and foliage right now. Take the trend to your cake with a carnival of flowers and foliage, whether they're real or lovingly handcrafted from sugar.

MADE OF STONE
Seeking a modern, minimalist aesthetic? Choose a marble wedding cake. The swirled pattern of marbleized fondant adds a sleek stone-like effect, making for a sophisticated and super-chic statement. Add florals or metallic accents for a luxe finish.

AGE OF ELEGANCE
Why have one cake when you can have a sweet tablescape of deliciousness? Dessert tables are increasingly reflecting the mood of elegance and high glamour taking the wedding scene by storm. You might find macarons, iced biscuits, cake pops, doughnuts or dainty cupcakes nestled between a series of different sized cakes in complementary colours and textures - all styled beautifully with opulent cake stands, candles or flowers.

Wear your personality on your cake with a hand painted creation. Whether you draw inspiration from your favourite motifs, quotes, names or passions, opt for a little floral whimsy or something brilliantly out-there, the sky's the sweet and stylish limit.

LET IT SHINE
There's nothing like a metallic finish to luxe up a wedding cake. From subtle accents, intricate detailing and glitter to full colour designs, metallics are incredibly versatile, whether you're seeking an opulent look or a fresh, modern vibe. Choose gold, silver, pewter or so hot-right-now tones of copper, rose gold and champagne gold.
