Bare is absolutely beautiful. Tap into this year’s most wanted minimalist theme by adorning your plain cake only with greenery. Décor doesn’t always have to be on top.
If you’re decorating the cake on your own, be sure to wash the flowers, leaves, twigs or any plant you want to attach to the cake.
Not all couples are comfortable with fresh flowers on the cake. If you’re one of them but you still want to achieve a natural look for your cake, opt for fondant or gum paste wedding flower toppers.
