Dresses aren’t the only things that change styles from year to year! Last month Ashley’s Bride Guide interviewed StudioWed Bakery, Crumb de la Crumb, on the most recent trends in the wedding cake realm.

Here are a few excerpts from the original post!

– Vintage is huge.

From patterns to actual cake toppers, antique touches are finding their way all over cake world!  That vintage-y, Anthropologie style infusion that’s hitting the event world big right now is being reflected right down to the dessert.

– Tall tiers!

As a tiered cake lover myself, I’m all about the towering, visually stimulating styles of this trend. Love it.

– Details are where it’s at.

“This year, details and embellishments are taking cakes to another level of gorgeous! More brides and grooms are shying away from simplistic designs and opting for cakes with elaborate styles that give cakes that extra ‘wow’ factor.”  This also leads into the next trend….

– Glam factor.

From Martha Stewart Weddings to Weddings Unveiled, anywhere you look, sparkly brooches, rhinestones, shimmer, and glitter are EVERYWHERE.  Invading everything from your bouquet to your cake, bling reigns supreme.

We hosted our first-ever StudioWed Signature Event, the Wedding Experience, last Sunday.  It was a gorgeous day… all the spring blossoms at Cedarwood were in full bloom, the sky was perfect, and there was a delightful warm breeze that carried throughout the afternoon.

This mixture of metallics with burlap, rustic with glamorous was an interesting combination by Cedarwood!

Beautiful draping by Blue Nova… and the classic lounge seating area by Classic Party Rentals.

Lotus Blossom Photography‘s booth was whimsical and fun.

Amber from Sweet Life Designs never disappoints with her cutesy displays!

Yellow is my favorite, and Hillary’s Brocade design was a fresh take on a spring centerpiece.

Mary Alice (A Delightful Day) and Kristin (Simply Stunning) answered questions and gave their take on wedding wisdom at the educational seminars.

Chef’s Market provided tasty wraps that had my mouth watering around 10:30AM, haha!

I cannot stress to you enough how scrumptious Crumb de la Crumb‘s Patron-infused crumbteenies were.

And last but not least, all the StudioWed brides who attended got to walk away with swag bags… as well as a wealth of planning knowledge! Thanks to everyone who came out, vendors and brides alike!

[Participating vendors not mentioned above:  Cosmo Creations, Clean Plate Club, Street Tuxedo, Nashville Audio Visual, White Table Linens, Grand Avenue, Events at 1418, Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt, McNeal Wedding Films, and FocalPoint Cinematic.]

It was a beautiful day and a huge success.  Keep posted via our StudioWed Blog for more information about future StudioWed Signature Events!
