Rustic Wedding Cake Ideas
Use natural elements like birchwood and pine cones
Rustic often evokes elements of nature and forests, so using natural wood elements is the perfect solution to make any cake feel more rustic. You can use wood slabs as cake stands, pine cones to decorate the display, or birchwood design to detail your cake.
Incorporate greenery throughout the display
Speaking of forests, why not include some greenery in your rustic cake display as well! Think small branches of greenery to decorate the table or sit at the base of the cake. Moss is a great option for a modern rustic feel.
Decorate with textures and rich colors
Think about incorporating textures and rich hues, like deep reds and burnt orange. Using burlap or textured fabric to decorate the cake table adds a rustic texture and warmth that will feel extra cozy. You can also add texture through design elements on your cake like trees or wood features.
Go with a naked wedding cake
Naked cakes are an increasingly popular option for cake designs as they look great and taste just as good. Naked cakes are made with less frosting so you can see the layers of the sponge cake and there is a textured and unique exterior. The unfinished look is perfect for a rustic wedding!
Use vintage farmhouse serving ware to display
Rustic and farmhouse can easily go hand-in-hand, and adding in vintage elements can elevate the decor even more. If you like incorporating vintage items into your wedding decor, consider vintage plates or dishes for your dessert table display.
