Beach theme wedding cakes are the perfect complement to a seaside ceremony. One of the important things about planning a wedding is to have a cohesive scheme. You want to use your colors and central theme in as many areas as you can.

The wedding cake is often a focal point of the ceremony. The bride and groom by tradition cut the cake together at the head table. This custom goes back centuries and there is no reason why beach theme weddings should not include this ritual.

Beach themed wedding cakes

Ideas for beach themed wedding cakes might include having the cake made to resemble an elaborate sand castle or be as simple as a flat cake decorated to look like the sea side. The shape of the cake does not have to be square or round. See also some other beach wedding ideas.

Each tier could be made into the shape of a sailboat or even a flip-flop if that is what is going to fit into your theme. The decorations on the top of the cake do not have to be the simple bride and groom. You can have anything from dolphins to speed boats if you choose.

Seashell wedding cakes

Couples that have chosen to use seashells in their decor can easily include them as part of the cake decorations. Seashell wedding cakes can use either real or edible shells depending on the preference of the couple.

Chocolate seashells are both beautiful and colorful. These seashells can also be handed out as gifts to the guests as they leave the reception.

Seashells are not all the same. The most commonly used shape of shells tends to be the scallop shell or the sand dollar. When you are looking at shells, take some time and examine the wide variety of shapes.

There are shells that resemble angel wings and ones that are conical. Either one of these would make a perfect wedding cake. The fun thing about using a shell that has two halves is that each side of the shell can be a different flavor of cake.

Wedding cakes have changed over the years, and they can be done to reflect the mood and tone of virtually almost any wedding. The cake itself should reflect the mood of the wedding. A casual event does not require a three tiered cake.

Pick a cake that makes you and your partner happy. The only rule that should be followed when selecting beach theme wedding cakes is ensuring that all the guests get a taste of the wedding cake.
