Just as you get different styles of venues and dresses, there are also different styles of Wedding cakes. Choosing the wrong wedding cake for your wedding style or theme is actually a very common wedding mistake. Brides sometimes see a cake in a magazine and then insist on having that specific one even though is doesn’t suite their style, theme or personality.

Different types of Wedding Cakes to consider:

The Classic Cake:

This will be a classic round or square cake with multiple tiers with cream or white fondant icing. Nothing daring or over the edge, just beautiful and timeless. Tiers can be stacked, freestanding or on pillars. Although fruitcake is being faced out, it is sometimes still being used especially if the bride and groom want to keep a part of the cake for their first anniversary.  In this case they will make one layer the fruitcake and the rest of the cake can be marble, caramel, white chocolate or carrot cake.

This year's weddings call for both classic and trendy modern styles. Typically, most would-be brides go for the classic elegant styles particularly when it comes to their wedding gowns. Since the bride is always the center of attention, it is important that her gown fits her well in most aspects because it is a representation of her style and taste.

For the year 2010, the trend in wedding gowns is somewhat a revival of the past but a bit edgy to fit the lifestyles and tastes of the modern woman. Going for signature or branded wedding gown isn't always necessary because local designers know the evolving trend. It's usually up to the bride to choose the design she wants as long as the dress will bring out the best in her.
