40+ Extraordinary White Wedding Ideas & Decor: Swoon!

From intimate receptions to a big bash, these white wedding ideas will certainly leave your guests speechless. Just remember to add a pop of color, find out why!

White cake on a white chair.

A white wedding will transport us to a state of pure, unadulterated pretty. The look is classic and beautiful. Once the symbol of purity, innocence, and light and the most traditional color for weddings, it is not so common anymore. Yet, white weddings are always extraordinary whether for its symbolism or from a decor perspective. And even most impressive during the summer or winter months. These white wedding ideas will make you say yes to this traditional color again and again. Get inspired by these 40+ white wedding ideas! 🙂

Extraordinarily Elegant Indoor White Wedding Ideas

If your white wedding is held indoors, be creative so it won’t look boring. Since white will be the dominant color, or maybe the only color, it will be necessary to make the decoration very attractive while keeping in mind that the bride has to stand out. Add a signature color to give some dimension or to liven it up or have the bride wear a more colorful creation.

Mix white with either greenery or copper accents for an interesting and modern contrasting effect, or with subtle hues such as pastel pink or beige for a natural color lift.

Dramatic lighting pieces like a large crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the room will remove the risk of a dull white wedding decor. Do not hesitate to create large bouquets of flowers in the room. The bigger, the better here. If you plan to add large floral arrangements as table centerpieces, opt for very tall and clear vases to avoid blocking your guests’s faces.

Imagine a white wedding with tables covered with soft blush linens and lush arrangements of ivory florals dripping with crystals. Gold or copper accents can add a touch of glamour to the space by way of guest chairs, candelabras, glassware, and vases.

Want to craft these dreamy white wedding candle centerpieces? You’ll only need three elements: white pillar candles, some foliage and white ribbon. Add the moss-covered stones for a forest effect and it doesn’t have to be winter to show them off!

Outdoor White Wedding Decor: Fresh & Modern Ideas

For an outdoor wedding, other colors will be added to the white without you even noticing. Can’t get rid of the plants, greenery or even the sand and the ocean in the background. This is actually to your advantage. Greenery brings a nice contrast to the decor in white as does wood inside of a barn or the blue of the ocean at a white beach wedding.

There’s no need for massive chandeliers or giant flower arrangements at an outdoor white wedding. The details can be simple and be reduced to lavish bride and groom reception chairs or white flowers dangling in pretty mason jars!

All-White Wedding Tips You’ve Got to Read

If you want to go for an all-white wedding – one of those fit for a princess or a movie star – you will have to make it very clear to your guests that their attire has to be white. We recommend to steer clear of it, unless this is a very intimate event with very close family and friends, as it may upset the guests. Not everybody looks great in white and you would have to be very careful with the wedding menu. Nothing worse that bbq or marinara sauce on a pristine white outfit. Amiright?

If you really want to go all-white, your guests must adhere to the white dress code.

Wedding Cake Trends That Will Have You Drooling in No Time: Check Them Out!

The latest wedding cake trends brim with creativity. We rounded up our favorites and most unique cake trends to surprise your guests with style.

Stunning drip wedding cake with macaroons and figs by Cordy’s Cakes. Are you drooling yet?

Only a few years ago, we were talking about metallic, hand painted and half-naked wedding cakes. Well, cakes have come a long way since then and they are getting more appealing, more artsy while looking even more amazing.

There’s a return to the natural look with the drip-effect cakes and the geode and marbled cakes. Another trend that separates these cakes from the ones from past years is the size. We used to see more of the classic three tiered cakes but as the guest list size shrinks, so do the cakes. Be it single or two-tiers, these cakes are true masterpieces.

Check out the latest wedding cake trends. Time to pick your cake!

Latest Wedding Cake Trends this Year: The Drip-Effect Cake

Chocolate ganache has taken over this year’s wedding cakes. Wherever you turn there’s a photo of a tempting drip cake. Drip-effect cakes are made by drizzling a glaze or ganache over the top of the cake so that it trickles over the edge and the drops fall alongside the sponge cake. By the way, ganache is a delicious mixture of melted cream and chocolate. Obviously, the drip cake looks beautiful and will make your mouth water.

The latest rage is decorating these cakes with macaroons, fruits, flowers, candy, and even ice cream cones!

Wedding Cake Statement Color of the Year: Blue

If there’s a color that makes a bold statement, that is blue. More specifically, navy blue. Mix it up with white, gold or silver to adapt it to any wedding theme. Let your cake be the something blue at the wedding!

Cover the whole cake with these sugar-made roses or balance a textured layer with a different (but very trendy) cake decorating technique.

Continuing with the mix of geology and baking, Geode cake designs using rock candy will definitely surprise your guests. Rock candy takes weeks and even months to form and the results are amazing. After all, who doesn’t like shiny stuff?
