This classic look takes a color palate and combines it with a wedding cake to give a unique character to your wedding cake decorations.

The standard staple for this style looks like this. You will want the bottom layer of your tiered wedding cake to have the most eccentric and elegant decorations. This is where you will go all out with your flowers and embellishments. The next layer on top of your bottom layer should be a solid color (within your color palette of course). However, you will want to dress up this layer as well. Consider perhaps having a fondu shimmer coating that stands out. Your last layer should be the simplest with a hint of the wedding cake decorations that were used on the bottom layer of the wedding cake.
