Wedding Wednesday: Holiday Weddings: Festive but not Tacky

When it comes to holiday weddings it is easy to get "wrapped up" in the holiday spirit and go a bit overboard. Holiday colors such as: gold, red, green, or silver, blue are all great accents colors to make a wedding cake pop but, with too much it can easily be a bit gaudy. Also, there are many great symbolic touches that remind us of the holiday season that are great for decorating cakes such as pine cones, holly, bows/ribbon, poinsettias, and snowflakes. That being said there are also symbolic touches that remind us of the holidays that can be a bit tacky for a wedding cake such as snowmen, santa, gingerbread men etc. After, doing a quick search for holiday wedding cakes, I got a plethora of examples of both the good and the bad.

The Tacky:

This looks like wrapping paper
threw up all over the cake...TOO MUCH!
Snowmen are cute...
in your front lawn....please leave them there!

What to say about this one....

The Festive: 

Earthy pine cones, leaves, and wood
add a great touch for a winter wedding.
Red is a bold color, but done right as an
 accent makes a beautiful holiday wedding cake.
Holly leaves make a great topper for a winter wedding.
Silvery blue is a great color for a winter wedding.

Snowflakes in a monotone cake and just a touch
of bling can make a beautiful wedding cake!
