Choosing the style for your wedding is one of the biggest decisions you will make.

It sets the tone for the whole event, and tells your guests about the two of you as a couple.

The style you choose will help you to theme many of the elements on the day, from the flowers to the room décor, as well as the groom’s suit, bridesmaid’s dresses and the all-important bridal gown.

The cake also plays an important role in setting the perfect tone for your special day, making it a memorable occasion not just for you but for all your friends and family. Naturally, at Patisserie Valerie, we have a range of cakes to make your day truly magical.

So how do you choose your wedding style and find the perfect cake to match?

1. Classic Elegance: Embrace timeless beauty with a classic wedding theme, characterized by sophisticated decor, refined colour palettes, and a touch of old-world charm. Complement the elegance with a stunning tiered cake in white or ivory, adorned with traditional flowers, or simply iced. Try our Floral Waterfall Cake to get the look.
2. Rustic Romance: Capture the enchantment of nature with a rustic-themed wedding. Incorporate decorative elements like wooden accents, soft florals, and natural textures. Opt for a rustic-inspired cake with buttercream, native blooms, and earthy touches. Our Two-Tier Fresh Berry Cake is ideal for introducing nature to your cake table.
3. Vintage Glamour: Step back in time with a vintage-inspired wedding, where glamour meets nostalgia. From vintage lace dresses to retro decor, infuse your celebration with elegance from a bygone era. Choose a cake design that showcases delicate lace patterns or vintage-inspired embellishments, such as the swirls on our Blue Ombre Rosette Cake  – also available in pink. 
4. Whimsical Wonderland: Let your imagination run wild with a whimsical wedding theme. Create a fairytale-like atmosphere filled with enchanting details, pastel colors, and playful touches. Complement the theme with a creative cake featuring fairytale decorations and unusual flavours. A topping of light, delicate macarons is a great way to add a sense of whimsy to your cake, like our Pink & Gold Leaf Marble Cake.
5. Modern Chic: Embrace contemporary sophistication with a modern chic wedding theme. Clean lines, minimalist decor and sleek details set the stage for a stylish celebration. Reflect the theme in a cake with a simple yet stylish design, letting the beautiful bake and light decorative touch wow your guests. Want to get the look? Try our Naked Blossom Cake.
6. Bohemian Bliss: Embrace free-spirited romance with a bohemian-themed wedding. Use lush greenery, dreamcatchers, and relaxed vibes to give your day that boho feel. Complement the ambiance with a naked or semi-naked cake adorned with fresh flowers and organic elements. Our Cherry Blossom Wedding Cake will add the perfect finishing touch.
7. Opulent Indulgence: Think rich flavours and extravagant design with this style of wedding. Opt for a striking cake design with big, bold details, adorned with gold accents, intricate patterns, and luxurious flavours. Our Chocolate Waterfall Cake fits the bill perfectly.
8. Natural World: If you’re a lover of nature and do all you can to protect the world, you can reflect this in your wedding and still have a day to remember. Celebrate your values with sustainable stationery, locally-sourced food and donations to a charity close to your heart in place of gifts. Even your cake can tie in: our Plant-Based Chocolate Cake is perfect if you prefer a plant-based diet.
