Planning & Inspiration
Pretty Sweet: Wedding Cakes Inspired by Flowers
Flowers are our specialty. But we admit to having a sweet tooth and always look forward to seeing the wedding cakes that our brides have chosen to commemorate the day! Most often, these delicious creations make a statement, and add to the décor and atmosphere. And it’s a special treat when the design incorporates our floral motifs. The classic bride may opt for traditional white. Fresh blooms with heart accents are perfect for the ever-dreaming romantic. A towering confection embellished with cascading flowers is fit for a queen.
For the bride-to-be planning for her upcoming nuptials, we rounded up gorgeous, floral inspired cakes from our Real BB Weddings for inspiration.

Romantic Blush
One way to make a wedding cake a vision is to artfully arrange flowers in romantic hues. Cascading blush quicksand roses, burgundy and marsala ranunculus, cream garden roses, and ivory spray roses look absolutely wonderful on this cake by Sweet Pistachio.
