20 Simple Elegant Wedding Cakes Ideas For 2023

As we all know that less is more. Simple wedding cakes are getting more and more popular, and I can’t tell enough how simple wedding cakes can be the sweetest part of the weddings in 2023. They are designed in such a classic way, but can always give a touch of elegance for any bride. Those simple wedding cakes start with a white and then accented with floral, which can match with your wedding colors. If you’re also a fan of simple elegant wedding cakes, with an affinity for minimalist and more organic designs, check out these amazing wedding cake ideas and get inspired.

To make your wedding day dessert feel more special, there are endless ways to include seasonal ingredients. Consider a violet, powder blue, lemon yellow, or soft blush cake adorned with fresh flowers and pastel pastels. Alternatively, you can take inspiration from one of our favorite spring wedding cake trends and include dried and pressed flowers into your dessert.

Even if you don't have a spring wedding date in mind, you may still get creative with your simple wedding cake's colors and decorations. Consider a spring wedding cake with a simple dusting of seasonal berries on top, such as a bare wedding cake. When coupled with bright, in-season flowers, metallic wedding cakes don't seem spring-like, but the effect is modern and fresh.

Why Should You Buy a Simple Wedding Cake?

There is beauty in simplicity, despite how unimpressive a simple wedding cake may appear at first. Stress is one of the main causes of people going simple. Planning a perfect wedding cake would add unnecessary stress to already difficult occasions like weddings. If you're not someone who enjoys or is surrounded by this kind of activity, it can be really stressful to go through it. The second most common reason is budget. Without a doubt, that is a real problem.

Small Simple Wedding Cake

For couples that are having a small wedding and don't want to serve a lot of different sweets, a small wedding cake is the ideal choice. This is an excellent option for them if they want a lovely cake with just one tier that doesn't require a lot of work or preparation ahead of time.

Simple Two Tier Wedding Cake

When it comes to wedding cakes, a two-tiered cake is a terrific option for couples who want something a little more formal without too much effort and for couples who are having a moderately sized wedding. These are very similar to the cakes with a single tier, but with a few key differences: they are more complex, larger, and have additional layers.
