What cake trends are we leaving 2024 and what can we expect to see in 2025?
GINGER BEAR BAKERY - I think the ruffle trend is slowing down and will eventually be left in 2024. I made lots of the ruffle-style cakes last year, but I'm not seeing it as much in 2025 orders. There are lots of exciting new trends coming through for 2025; the vintage styling is still huge and lots of my couples are opting for this, choosing to complete their cakes with cherries or bows! Another trend I am excited for is fresh fruit; raspberry topped cakes and oversized single tier cakes are going to be seen a lot in 2025, dressed in all kinds of fruits and fresh florals!
I'm looking to be sustainable where possible with wedding bits, and wondered if there was a way to incorporate my wedding stationery dreams and favours? I need something that feels like us but can also serve a purpose.
Kate Lee, of Love-Lee Wedding Stationery by Kate Lee, says: We all reach that point in our wedding planning where we must decide on what is important to us; what is absolutely needed and what is purely aesthetic. But everyone has a budget, and it's vital the budget is adhered to. When it comes to favours, we have to wonder, 'is this personalised candle or shot bottle for every guest absolutely necessary?' Whilst it's a lovely gesture, it can become a very expensive option; so why not use an order of service as a keepsake for your guests instead? Lovelee has just launched a new product called 'Newlywed Life' – your very own personalised magazine! The mag includes your love story, a shout out to your wedding party, an itinerary for the day, your favourite love quote, a link to your wedding gift list, and even a chance to nominate guests for a wedding award! There's also a fun 'Bride and Groom Guess Who' game for your guests to have a giggle over during the wedding breakfast. A perfect memory to hold and a wonderful keepsake for you and your guests.
