Sometimes the best part of a wedding cake brief is discovering what you DON’T want. 🍂
When this couple first enquired, their inspiration photographs featured cakes decorated with dried flowers.
But there was one small detail.
They weren’t really flower people. 🤣
What they loved was the autumnal atmosphere. The warm colours, the natural textures, that outdoorsy October feeling.
So rather than simply recreating the photographs they’d sent, we explored something different.
I suggested two directions: an organic, textured finish or hand-painted mountains in rich autumnal colours.
The mountains won.
And this was the result.
Two tiers, hand-painted with sweeping mountain shapes in ochre, terracotta, russet and warm golden tones. Subtle washes of colour carry the landscape into the upper tier.
No flowers. No elaborate decorations.
Just colour, movement and a little artistic interpretation.
Because inspiration photographs aren’t instructions. They’re clues.
Sometimes the cake you end up loving isn’t remotely like the one you thought you wanted.
And that’s exactly why I love bespoke design. 💜
