It always surprises me when brides say they feel limited for ideas when planning a fall wedding – especially when it comes for fall wedding cake ideas, and ideas for fall wedding cake decorations. Hello?!  This is one season that is SO packed with inspiration!

Don’t think cold and dreary when planning for a fall wedding. Instead think warm, cozy and vibrant when it comes to choosing fall wedding decor and cake decorations.

Fall is so full with rich colors and flavors. The texture offered by fall adds so much interest, especially visually. You are only limited by your imagination when it comes to decorating for a wedding in fall, as well as planning the decorations for a fall wedding cake.

Consider the type of cake too. Red Velvet cake is so rich in color it would be awesome for a fall wedding cake. A dark chocolate cake is fitting in color for a fall wedding cake as well.  Spice cake has appropriate coloring for fall wedding cakes, and its a perfect fit for fall flavor-wise as well. Fruit cake is a fit as well, and of course, it is highly traditional for wedding cakes.  Keep in mind that to really mix it up a bit, you can always choose a different flavor for each tier of your fall wedding cake. These ideas should get you thinking…

Your color choices for fall wedding cakes really cover the palette.  Reds, browns, oranges, yellows, marigolds, mangos – you can even go pink. The trick to choosing color for fall weddings and fall wedding cakes is to keep the color hues a deep, dark and rich -much more so than you would for a spring or summer wedding.

And just as you can choose different flavors for each tier, you can also change things up a bit by selecting a different color for each tier of your fall wedding cake.
