Black & White Wedding Cake Inspiration

There is no doubt that the color scheme sets the tone for your entire wedding so if you are looking for an elegant, sophisticated look....black and white is the answer. It is a classic color scheme that will stand the test of time. Best of all, grooms love a black and white color scheme as much as the brides do.

And if you want to add a hint of romance, think about adding some pink or red accents to the flowers, centerpieces and of course the wedding cake. If you are a modern bride that would like to add a splash of trendy color, but still maintain an elegant classy look, try adding either lime green or bright yellow to the mix. Both of these colors are perfect choices for spring, garden and summer weddings.

In this lens, I've put together some of my favorite black and white cake designs featuring black and white only and then black and white with various accent colors such as pink, red, lime green and sunny yellow. For each montage of photos, I've included the resource so that you can get more information. Print out a photo of the one you like out and take it with you to the bakery where you are getting your cake designed and baked....they'll thank you for having such a precise vision for your big day!

Wedding Cake Toppers

One of my favorite ways to finish off an elegant black and white cake is to add a sophisticated wedding cake toppers such as brushed silver monogram letters (like those shown in the photo), Swarovski crystal letters, or a personalized acrylic topper that has a black and white flourish design along with the names and wedding date.

The other option is to use a floral arrangement or gum paste flowers that coordinate with the bridal bouquet and other reception centerpieces. It is amazing what bakers can do with modeling chocolate, gum paste, and sugars these days!

Wedding Cake Serving Set

No reception cake ceremony is complete without an elegant wedding cake serving set. Choosing a personalized silver-plated serving set that can be engraved with the couple's names and wedding date is a truly elegant addition to the cake table. Many companies even sell fully-coordinated sets with toasting flutes as well. I also really like the serving sets where the handles are shaped to look like a long bridal gown and black tuxedo...they look great with a black and white cake.
