When I was a kid, there were two things my mind always went to when I pictured my future wedding – my dress and my cake. Over the years, cake trends have come and gone (or even been replaced by other desserts). Whether you love the rustic vibes, love a classic tiered cake, or want something that goes completely against the grain, we’ve collected photos of stunning wedding cakes, perfect for any bride! Plus, we’ve got a list of great local bakeries who can turn your visions into the perfect wedding cake.
Rustic
Rustic has been in for a while now, and we don't see this trend going away soon! Add a touch of southern charm to your cake with naked icing, sunflowers, wood details, and more!

Traditional
​Sometimes there's nothing better than a classic wedding cake. You can still have a traditional cake reflect your personality by adding small details to the design, topping it with a personalized cake topper, or matching the florals to those in your bouquet.

Non-Traditional
And while traditional cakes offer a timeless look, it can be fun to go completely against the grain with non-traditional cakes. Whether your non-traditional cake is unique in shape or isn't even a cake, this is a great option for brides who want something different for their wedding.

Vegan
With veganism growing more and more each year, we can't leave our vegan brides behind! Find a local vegan bakery and see what they can do for your wedding. Being vegan doesn't mean you have to sacrifice style or flavor!

Geometric
We're loving the geometric and abstract trend! Whether your cake takes on a geometric shape or you incorporate the look in the designs and decorations, this is sure to make your cake a show-stopper.

Floral
Who doesn't love some flowers on a cake? Having your florist or a baker add flowers takes your cake from simple to stunning. Whether you want the entire cake decorated or just want a few flowers elegantly placed, consider adding a floral touch to your wedding cake!

Modern wedding cakes are so much fun because there are so many ways you can go. Tie in current trends and modern elements such as straight lines, florals and greenery, geodes, and so much more!

It got me when you said that geometric and abstract shapes for the cake can be a show stopper. With that in mind, we should start looking for a wedding cake bakery that can create that look. I would love to have a cake that would be so beautiful that will make me not want to eat it, but I would still do of course.

I like that you talked about non-traditional cakes where the shape is unique and will be different for the event. I would love to have custom wedding cakes made like that for my own wedding in the future. If ever I get to have an event like that, I will surely opt for this since it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I should choose the best instead.

Seeing your examples of non-traditional wedding cakes really amazed me. My partner is a very creative person, so I can really see them liking something like this as a way to make the wedding feel extra special. I'll go and ask a bakery nearby to help us put these ideas to use for sure.
