If 2020 has taught us anything it is to cherish and appreciate the ones we love, look after our health and wellbeing and practice more acts of kindness. In light of this, we think that in 2021, we will see two camps emerging from a Covid-filled 2020 that postponed many hopes and dreams.
One championing the ‘go big or go home’ vibe and the other supporting the ‘less is more’ feel. Neither is wrong, but both will have a huge impact on the wedding cake trends appearing in 2021.
PERSONALISED
In 2021 it will become even more important for couples to personalise their cake with a beautiful message or experience they share due to a challenging year. An easy and affordable way to do this is with the use of a cake topper that represents you both. To include your guests, mini desserts such as cookies, macarons or cakesicles that display special messages of thanks and appreciation will always go down well.
INTIMATE
Micro weddings will appeal to couples who want to share their special day with just a handful of those who are closest to them. They will love the simplicity and intimacy that a guest list of 40-50 people will afford them and it seems that naked, semi-naked and buttercream cakes are the perfect accompaniment to creating a relaxed environment. Adorned with fresh fruit or fresh flowers, they really do set the tone for beautiful intimate weddings.
STATEMENT
Big blousy flowers, bold sugar arrangements, tall, detailed and glamorous tiers all make for an eye-catching cake. Couples who have been waiting to celebrate their big day will want to do so in a big way with a cake that makes a big statement. After all, a party without cake is just a meeting isn’t it? So we will likely see ample use of gorgeous blooms either fresh or sugar and textured details such as lace, pearls, ruffles and even concrete designs adorning wedding cakes.
COOL PASTELS
Pastel shades have always been our thing, but it will become ‘a thing’ in 2021, representing cool, calm and chilled weddings. Think of cool greys, powder pink, mint green, fresh coral and soft peach - all fitting and appealing colours for cake and just by adding a hint of metallic it becomes instantly chic, warm and inviting.
