A wedding anniversary puts a pin on the calendar to remind you of one of the most important days of your adult life. Anniversaries present couples with the opportunity to reflect on their relationship thus far while the traditions allow couples to come together to celebrate one another's achievements and love.
Anniversaries also help us create new memories and traditions. Some couples might make a sort of relational pilgrimage back to where they took their first date or shared their first kiss. Others might adhere to the traditional anniversary gifts (giving something made of paper for your first anniversary, cotton for the second, etc.) These rituals take on deeper meaning as time goes on — and they can become memories and milestones that couples lean on when times get rough
We’re forever fans of frosting frills and flowers adorning classic wedding cake confections. But nothing gives us a sugar rush quite like sleek and refined modern wedding cakes. In the age of modern love, couples are also going contemporary with their big day desserts—we’re fawning over the resulting looks.
Here’s the proof: The 21st century has never been so delicious. Though towering tiers of white fondant will probably never go out of style (the decadent dessert has prevailed through the decades), but the new classics in confections have earned their place on the wedding dessert table and we couldn’t be more excited to take a bite out of this yummy trend.
Nowadays, more and more couples are hungry for a big day treat that’s reflective of their own unique style—cue contemporary cakes. These modern wedding cakes are crazy-cool and dripping with personality, thanks to geometric detailing, moody dark hues, metallic flourishes, and can’t-believe-our-eyes pared-down art-gallery-worthy designs.
