Wedding Cake Trends 2018: The Collaboration

Another really cool element we are seeing a lot in weddings is the bridal wreath! From bouquets, backdrops and even wedding altars. Brides are loving this circular decor, usually made with greenery and flowers.

To incorporate this theme into your wedding you can use a circular wreath for favors, large wreaths for backdrops or even a creative swing for taking photos. Check out some floral wreath inspiration on pinterest!

Emma Stewart of Truly Scrumptious Cakes By Design is an award winning wedding cake designer and is known for her flawless creations! She is always on top of the latest trends and definitely sees floral hoops as being HUGE in 2018

About this cake:

For the floral hoop theme I took inspiration from hoops that I have seen recently used for bridesmaids instead of traditional bouquets and also for wedding décor as hanging details. I choose to use more  vibrant colours in my flower selection. I arranged them around the base of the hoop and displayed it resting on a dark lustred cake, which I see being another trend in 2018.
