Rustic Wedding Cakes

If you’re planning a country-side style wedding or a western rustic theme wedding day, then the chances of finding matching decorations for the wedding cake are high. Whether your wedding is to be held in an open filed, in a mountain chalet, in a barn, in a farm or in a hippodrome, a rustic wedding cake can make the most attractive, impressive, romantic and unforgettable centerpiece of the wedding.




The beauty, charm, the elegance and the delicious taste of the cake depends on what flavors, colors, shapes, decorative elements and topper you use. But before you make any move towards the features of your rustic wedding cake, think first of the wedding general theme, style, color-scheme, formality, location, amplitude and budget.

Don’t think that a country-side wedding can’t look as elegant, sophisticated and refined as any other cathedral or fancy restaurant wedding. It all depends on what colors and decorative elements you use. But most couples who decide to spend the wedding day in a rustic style are usually choosing a more casual, loose, comfortable and natural back drop and character for the wedding.

Among the most suitable colors and nuances that you can choose to use in creating the rustic wedding cake are neutral earth tones or jeweled tones of chocolate brown, maroon, cinnamon, peat, cream, champagne, ivory, burgundy, purple, gold, burnt orange, coral, deep yellow, butter cream yellow, rusty red, tomato red, wine, tan, sage, forest green, olive green, navy blue, aqua blue, celadon, magenta or bronze. You can combine these themed shades and obtain a fabulous, eye-catchy, tenting and inspired unique rustic wedding cake.

As matching themed flavors opt for a milk, black, white or ganache chocolate with mango rustic wedding cake, a vanilla or white cream with red velvet rustic wedding cake, a tiramisu, an espresso rustic wedding cake, a butter-cream wedding, a coffee, liqueur, cappuccino wedding cake or a fruit compote wedding cake.

Use apples, pears, bananas, coconuts, cranberries, black cherries, blueberries, strawberries, grapes or pineapples to adorn the rustic wedding cake, for a more natural, appetizing and delicious look and taste. If you prefer something more romantic, opt for a rustic wedding cake ornate with wood branches, foliage leaves, dried grasses and real wildflowers.

Choose those types of flowers that have a more natural, fresh cut garden look, such as daises, sunflowers, poppies, pansies, cornflowers, Black Eyed Susan, lupines, orchids, lavender, hibiscus, ivy, peonies, tulips, blue bells, garden roses, anemones, dendrobiums, zinnias, grains and herbs. Use pearls and beadings, crystals, dried corns, hays, butterflies, doves, dragonflies, bees, clusters, mini pumpkins, cinnamon sticks, ropes, ribbons, bows and wheat stalks to create a more fanciful, abundant, extravagant and rustic look. Arrange these decorative elements in cascading styles, between the layers of the cake, in polka dots patterns on in any other style you prefer.
