Just like white wedding cakes, white cupcake wedding cakes are always a timeless favorite and always classic. Classic white wedding cupcakes in a tiered arrangement are always popular and they do look incredibly pretty when captured by talented wedding photographers in the best of frames. You can consider adorning them with a lovely seasonal flower topper, usually made from fondant or gum paste. If you are planning a romantic summer wedding, you can consider summer floral colors for a flower topper, and likewise fall floral colors, if you are going for an autumn wedding. You can also consider adding lace doilies and lovely ribbon to create a wonderful and traditional look on the cupcake wedding cake table!
It’s your wedding day and it should be all about love and sweetness, as much as possible. So, how about apart from cupcake wedding cakes, you bring in macarons, too? Well, if you ask us, we are totally up for this bundle of sweetness. All you have to do is to switch things up to offer multiple options on your wedding cake display stand.

Apart from being delicious and appealing to look at, cupcakes can be elegant as well as cute at the same time. To make it look more stunning and whimsical to resonate with the fine elegance of your wedding theme you can consider garnishing them with beautiful lace.

These kinds of cupcake wedding cakes are great for a formal wedding celebration. Especially, if you are planning a black-tie affair, they are going to be great! Just like the way lace adds a personalized to your wedding gown, it will do the same to the cupcakes too!
Who says that all your wedding cupcakes have to be of the same shape and size? Well, that is not at all necessary! You can have non-identical designs for your wedding day cupcakes. Coordinating the designs with some beautiful similarities in size, color, or theme will give your wedding cupcakes more creativity and beauty, though, just try your best to limit the designs of your wedding day cupcakes to no more than half a dozen! As going over the board can be distracting and a bit overwhelming for our professional wedding photographers to capture and give the best results in the form of swoon-worthy wedding photos. When displayed in an alternating pattern, trust us, these adorable and flavorsome cupcakes will not only look mouth-watering but eye-pleasing too!
A wedding cupcake can be truly anything you want it to be! And you don’t need to go overboard with a huge or expensive display if you are not planning to have many cupcakes. You can simply choose to have one of your or your darling’s favorite flavors and display it in a unique and elegant way to make it the centerpiece of your wedding day celebration. You can consider having a small cake with red velvet, cheesecake, and s’mores cupcakes, all gracefully surrounded by lovely greenery and lovely seasonal flowers.

Getting unusual cupcake designs for your wedding day is not a difficult task. You can have them in various easy ways! For example, you can just roll fondant into small balls and then cover them with edible pearl dust. This addition of pearls will make your wedding cupcakes dreamy and whimsical alluring. To make it more amazing, you can add a small flower resonating with your wedding color to the center of the cupcake and then sprinkle it with gold dragees. These kinds of wedding cupcakes are an ideal fit for grand fall wedding celebrations. For all the DIY brides out there, you can try this wedding cupcake hack and surprise your wedding guests and your darling with your hidden creative talent.
Well, chocolate frosting is not usually a bride’s first choice, but if you ask us, it does look both delicious and stylish at the same time. A lovely swirled design is the perfect starting point if you are going in for a chocolate frosting cupcake wedding cake. To make it look more chic and lovely, you can consider elevating it with a small offset white rose with dragees pops against the chocolate frosting. If you feel like your cupcake frosting is rich, deep chocolate, then consider adding a rose in a bright color to make the cupcake pop. In fact, the addition of the flower on the top of the cupcake will make it look beautiful in all your wedding photos captured by none other than our professional team of wedding photographers!
Spring is the season when the flowers are in full bloom! And if you are planning to have a spring wedding, then decorating your wedding cupcakes with flowers, especially with cherry blossoms is indeed one of the best ways to bring in the seasonal vibe to your wedding day cupcakes. Don’t let your imagination be limited to roses, daisies, or other common flowers for topping your cupcake wedding cakes. An iced sunflower cupcake is just a perfect example of a classic summer wedding or a romantic fall wedding. In fact, you can also choose orchids if you are planning a tropical wedding theme. If you ask us, we just love the color blossom, as this lovely and pretty shade gracefully adds depth to a monochromatic wedding scheme. Even our creative wedding photographers will have a great time capturing all the lovely floral cupcakes in beautiful and delicious frames to add a little extra sweet taste to your wedding portfolio!
Bring “Something Blue” with Cupcakes To Your Wedding
