With gorgeous weather and stunning blooms, summer is definitely the most popular season to get married. And while you’re busy infusing the colors of the season into every inch of your wedding décor, there may be one place you’re overlooking: your wedding cake. Of course, white wedding cakes will always have their place at a wedding, but if you’re already embracing color and summer styles throughout your ceremony and reception, why stop when it comes to your dessert?
When choosing our favorite wedding cake ideas for summer weddings, we looked for tiered desserts that featured poppy hues and confectionary decorations reminiscent of warm weather. Ahead, you’ll find plenty of gorgeous wedding cakes with flowers and confections topped with citrus, berries, gorgeous greenery, and even a pair of adorable flamingos. While we certainly love these cakes for June to August ceremonies, we’ll let fall, winter, and spring couples in on a little secret too. Most of these treats can be easily adapted to suit your own wedding season by altering the saturation of colors or swapping out adornments for something more reminiscent of your wedding month.
If you’re ready to find the perfect wedding cake for your summer nuptials, then look no further. Ahead, we’re spotlighting 32 summer wedding cakes that celebrate the summer season and command attention.
