50+ Ideas for Your Bridal Bouquet

And they’ll taste as good as they look.

Just about anything can inspire your wedding cake design (the ornate molding in your ballroom venue or your joint love of modern décor, for instance).

But if you’re having trouble feeling inspired, check out our favorite 2019 wedding cake trends that are as gorgeous as they are delicious. Stay ahead of the curve by choosing one of these on-trend styles—and let your baker take care of the rest.

Inky-Black Wedding Cakes

We called it: Black is the hottest new wedding color, and it’s surprisingly perfect for every style or palette (everyone knows black goes with everything). A black wedding cake feels ultra-luxe and sophisticated—and a dusting of gold trim will infuse some glamour too.

Alternative Tiers

Not a cake person? No problem. Non-cakes have been on our radar for a while, but they’ll officially take over in 2019. We’re talking alternative tiers crafted in everything from waffles and donuts to—yes, you guessed it—cheese wheels (perfect if you and your partner prefer savory over sweet).

Understated Textures

It’s all in the details. To be more specific, you’ll be seeing cakes with a focus on unique textures in the fondant or frosting—whether you want it to emulate concrete (like this one) or another material (like velvet).

Structural Designs

There’s nothing wrong with a cake that, well, looks like a cake. But in 2019, plan to see more confections with architectural, structural designs that’ll have your guests asking, “Your baker actually made this? How?”

Floating Tiers

This isn’t your mama’s floating tier cake. Impressive cakes that look like they’re doing balancing acts will take the spotlight in 2019. Whether they’re floating on flowers or 3-D shapes, a floating cake done right is nothing short of magical.
