4. Floral Garlands

Floral cakes, a time-honoured wedding staple, get a garden-fresh reboot in 2016. Designers are embracing loose, free-flowing motifs, including leafy garlands and floral wreaths, which add a lovely natural look to wedding confections. Top your cake with a halo of blooms or adorn its tiers with leaves and buds to achieve this modern look.
