15 Gorgeous Naked Wedding Cakes Perfect for Fall Nuptials
The naked cake trend has been hot on the list of wedding trends for a while now. By forgoing frosting, you can showcase the flavors of the doughy, moist cake underneath. Add some sprigs, flowers and a cake topper, and you have a rustic-looking yet super elegant creation that will set the tone for your entire wedding. (Don’t worry, frosting lovers, there’s still frosting in between the layers!) If you’re planning a fall wedding, this unique wedding cake trend can easily be incorporated into your color and design scheme. Scroll on for 15 of our favorite autumn-approps naked cakes and get ready to start drooling with envy.
1. Multi-Tonal: Yes, you CAN incorporate an eclectic-looking color scheme in your naked cake. You just have to use different flavors of the cake itself. Bonus points for a colorful array of fresh fruit and flowers. (via Babb Photography)
2. A Bountiful Harvest: Berries and orange- and red-hued flowers grace this elegant naked cake inspired by fall. A little caramel coating over top gives it a bit of shine (and a sweet flavor too!). (via The Knot)
3. Fall Neutrals: Just because you’re getting married during the fall season doesn’t necessarily mean you have to go deep with your color scheme. This naked cake showcases the beautiful olive branch, as well as a neutral palette that looks classy all year round. (via Project Wedding)
