Are you planning for a Spring 2010 wedding? Wedding cake colors and themes for the Spring 2010 are shifting away from traditional pastels in favor of bold and bright hues that are a great match for an outdoor setting. The Pantone Fashion Color Report for 2010 reveals a fresh lineup of colors for the season, with champagne, turquoise and coral leading the pack. Here are some of the top wedding cake color trends and palettes to consider when you’re designing or decorating your Spring 2010 wedding cake:
Turquoise Wedding Cakes for Spring
Perfect for the destination wedding for the Spring 2010 season, turquoise is a bold and vibrant color that will match any aquatic or ocean wedding theme. Turquoise is one of the top color trends for the Spring 2010 season, so don’t be afraid to match the cake with the bridesmaid dresses and other accessories this season.
Spring Wedding Cakes Designed Fusion Coral
Listed as Pantone color #16-1543, this is a light pink with peach undertones. It’s a good match for the traditional white wedding that needs a pop of color. Wedding cakes decorated with wide ribbons in Fusion Coral or Spring flowers with coral-colored petals will be a big hit for the Spring 2010 season.
Pink Champagne Wedding Cakes
If you’re interested in a lighter pink shade for the Spring 2010 season, consider the more subtle pink known as Pink Champagne. This very light pink shade is a romantic and soothing shade for the elegant, classic wedding this season. The entire wedding cake can be draped in Pink Champagne fondant, or trimmed with oversized ribbons and bows.
Spring 2010 Wedding Cakes in Violet
Violet and purple were at the top of the fashion lists for the Fall 2009 season, and are spilling over into Spring 2010 with the emergence of violets on wedding cakes, violet colored trim and violet beadwork and detailing on tier cakes. This bold Spring color is also appearing on wedding gowns and accessories.
Amparo Blue Wedding Cakes
A surprising addition to the Spring 2010 wedding cake palette, this bold and bright blue is most suitable for an outdoor wedding at an exotic locale. It’s a rich and vibrant color that can be trimmed with white or silver. You’ll see it appearing on tier cakes, cupcakes and other creations on the Spring 2010 dessert table.
Spring 2010 Wedding Cakes in Aurora
Spring 2010 will see a reintroduction of yellow, and Aurora is the sunny hue that’s sure to attract plenty of attention on the Big Day. Stark white weddings embellished with bright yellow sunflowers, daffodils and tulips are a top trend for the Spring 2010 wedding season.
