2012 Wedding Cake Trends
Now that 2012 has officially arrived, many of the predicted wedding trends are starting to take shape. Among those trends include what 2012 wedding cakes will look like; of course, this is a consideration dependent upon wedding type and locale. An Arizona wedding cake for an indoor ceremony is likely to look much different than a beachside Florida wedding cake. However, being aware of the trends can help brides to determine just how closely they want to follow them for any upcoming nuptials.
Wedding cake favors hit the scene and 2011 and will continue to become even bigger in 2012. Brides have the option of choosing from an array of cake favors, depending on their themes. For example, an Arizona wedding with a Southwestern sunset theme might adorn the wedding cake with small sun-shaped favors – edible or not, depending on the bakery and bride’s preference. Alternatively, if the wedding follows a floral theme, then the bride might consider flower-shaped wedding favors to adorn the cake. These favors serve as a visually-stunning decorative element for the cake and add pizzazz and panache to this edible portion of the wedding reception.
Hand painted wedding cakes are also going to be huge in 2012, with many couples looking for new ways to personalize the ceremony to whatever degree possible. The cake itself might be very basic, but the design – if the bride uses a talented cake artist – can reflect the theme or words and pictures that express the couple’s love for one another. The right artist can also re-create a special moment from a painting or photograph.
Vintage is going to be big in 2012, but then again, when isn’t vintage red hot in terms of a wedding trend? Obviously, this might not work as a cake decoration for, say, an Arizona wedding with a natural theme, but for a high-society New York City affair, a vintage cake design might be just what the doctor ordered. Expect this trend to be a bit more limited than the others during the year, as most brides like shiny, flashy and new, no necessarily old and traditional.
