I love the show Ace of Cakes on the Food network, I’m a dork like that. And I stumbled onto their real site to see what else they can make, beside hockey rinks and beagles. And I LOVE some of their more traditional cakes. Here are a few of my favorites:
I love the color variation from dark to light.
I also love the strips of fondant wrapped around each layer on this one. And the flowers are a nice break from traditional roses.

Be adventurous! There are no rules when it comes to your wedding colors, and choosing wedding colors. If you like purple and your spouse-to-be loves orange… do it. I promise that not one single guest will balk at your selections. Be wild, be a little crazy…. there can only be so many weddings in the world that are aqua, peach, blush or other pastel.

Your invitations are a great way to incorporate all your colors into one medium. Test colors, play with them, see how they look together. You just might find that you like orange and fuchsia together.

The color of the season seems to be raspberry! We’ve been printing and designing nearly 50% of our current orders in the not quite pink, not quite blush, not quite purple color. Maybe we should call is raspberry sherbet instead. Here is a mini inspiration board from The Knot.
another popular color lately has been yellow, all shades of it. From sunshine and mustard yellows to a soft almost creamy shade with just a hint of yellow.
If you need help with choosing wedding colors, check out this site that I LOVE: Color Palette Generator
You upload a photo, click create, and out pops a complete color palette complete with hex key color codes. You can use those codes to match ink colors for invitations, or even paint colors for you house. It’s super cool if you need a specific shade of blue, or green, or pink, or red, or yellow… you get the idea. Here’s an example.
Here is the original picture of some adorable glass table card holders that we used:
and the coordinating palette with a million uses:
I have always loved the look of fruit incorporated into centerpieces. It’s a fresh, springy fun touch. There is a natural bonus as well, lemon in the water will help maintain the color of your flowers (not that you NEED them to last very long, but hey, it’s good to know).
We would like to make an announcement, you may want to sit down for this one. It is OK to have more than two colors for your wedding! Shocking I know, but we warned you to sit down. So many times our clients will say “I wish I could have a third color” or “if only I could include…” orange, blue, or pink etc. Good news! You can. Look at these amazing color combinations that we are swooning over. Remember, you don’t have to include every color into every single element, have a palette of colors that compliment and enrich each other. We heart colors.
or pick one color, and do various shades of it
