Sarah and Lee’s super-cool wedding had so many gorgeous details, including their cake. We love the whole set up, with light box sign, tea lights and plenty of greenery. So gorgeous! See their full wedding here.

Rupi and Luke’s semi-naked cake was perfect for their summer wedding, adorned with fruit and made by the groom’s brother; making it extra special! Read their full wedding story here for even more personal touches.

Claire and George’s cake was every bit as glamorous as the rest of their Downton-Abbey inspired wedding day. See more from their inspirational celebration here.

This square, monochrome tiered cake was the perfect addition to Fran and Tom’s black tie celebration. Simple but glamorous! See more from their winter wedding here.

Charlotte and Bobbie’s wedding in Tuscany had the most laid-back and romantic feel. Their wedding cake, sprinkled with fruit, suited their day perfectly and was ideal for sharing out amongst their guests. See more from their day here.

One of our favourites is this sweet design from Sophie and Joe’s wedding, in the style of three French Fancies! Such a cute idea. See even more of their big-day details with the full wedding story here.

How gorgeous is the marble effect on the bottom tier of this cake?! To be honest, everything about Genevieve and Josh’s Australian vineyard wedding was gorgeous! Read all about their day here.

Cake not really your thing? Opt for a delicious cheese wheel stack instead like this gorgeous spread from Laura and Martyn’s wedding in Cornwall. They also had the prettiest traditional cake with floral detail (below). Find more inspiration in their full wedding feature.
