Here are trendy wedding cake designs for every style.

Classic
If you’re having a classic wedding, opt for a cake with a simple color palette and minimal details. We love how the black bow stands out on this three-tiered beauty — it adds just the right amount of flair.

Boho
For a boho wedding cake, don’t be afraid to get a little creative! Adding natural elements, such as fresh flowers and greenery, evokes a laid-back, earthy vibe. Naked cakes (when the outer layers are left unfrosted) are a fun and trendy option, too!

Rustic
Neutral colors are the key for creating a beautiful rustic-inspired cake. We especially love the ruffled flowers, handmade antlers and gold details on this one!

Modern
Experiment with avant-garde details, such as metallic colors and geometric shapes. Fondant will give the cake a smooth, clean look, while a simple color scheme keeps it contemporary.

Whimsical
If you’re having a whimsical-inspired wedding, your cake should be just as playful as your personality! Ask your baker to combine bold colors, three-dimensional elements, and watercolor details to create a masterpiece that’s undeniably fun.

Vintage
Soft colors, such as blush pink and ivory, fit perfectly with a vintage theme. Keep the overall look of the cake simple and add flowers or metallic details if you want to subtly incorporate a few trends.

Preppy
For true prepster style, add nautical elements, such as ropes and anchors. Finish the look with a navy, white, and pink color scheme, and don't forget the chevron stripes!

Glam
If you love show-stopping elements, bring the wow factor to your reception with a tall five-tier cake! This one features gold filigree and lace-inspired details topped off with stunning handmade flowers.

Romantic
We think that this sweet pastel cake would be perfect for a garden wedding. Floral watercolor motifs like these are pretty, feminine and oh-so-trendy!
