Popular Wedding Cake Trends
When it comes to planning your wedding cake for your wedding day, there are so many lovely designs to choose from. You could go with a classic traditional look or something a little more modern & contemporary. Whatever you choose here’s my top looks for 2023/24.
Flowers always make a cake look pretty and elevate designs to the next level. Swirls, waterfalls, placements or a flower base are all dreamy ways of incorporating flowers into the design, but our favourite for 2023 is the flower garden!

Adding a touch of colour to match or compliment your wedding décor is a popular choice. It could be a beautiful hand dyed silk ribbon or a full tier in colour as a statement.

One wedding cake trend that here to stay is adding texture to the design. Pillows of fluffy ruffles, folds of icing to look like swaths of fabric or sugar pearls can all be added to add interest to any design.

Metallic elements add a stunning look to any cake design. Edible gold or silver leaf add a little sophisticated glamour with a subtle hint of opulence.

Gorgeous handmade flowers made from icing have defiantly had a comeback over recent years. They can be made to complement your wedding flowers and look oh so pretty on any design

Staging your wedding cake to look super pretty is definitely something to think about. Add candles, runners, a gorgeous cake stand or a few bud vases. Most cake makers now offer packages to dress your cake and make it stand out.

“To everyone at Ellingham hall. A massive thank you to you all for such an amazing day! From arriving on Wednesday Debbie and Charlotte looked after us right up to the moment we left. The day was absolutely perfect and was planned to perfection by the Ellingham team, our friends and family have commented on how lovely all of the staff were and could not of done more.
The food was amazing from the sharing boards the night before to the fish and chips we were eating cold at 1am! The venue has so much character and we fell in love with from the second we walked up the driveway on that very first visit.
Thank you all so much again for one of the best days of our lives, we want to relive it all over again!”

“I have hosted seminars for over 30 years, all over the country at various well-known venues. At Ellingham Hall you remember everything, from the beautiful quirky venue which has retained its historic features, the friendly staff, great service and the delicious food and amazing coffee! The meeting room had good light and was the perfect size for our event. It was lovely to have use of the comfortable reception rooms too for breaks and lunch. I was very impressed with the extra spaces such as the basement games room and rooftop networking terrace. It is a hidden jewel in the North-East and I am planning to return soon for a private family event”
Amanda Chadwick, Senior Speaker/Presenter, Croner
“From first viewing Ellingham Hall on a virtual tour during lockdown to our wedding weekend the whole planning process was made so easy. Special thanks to Wendy for being so responsive to my many emails back and forth! Thank you to Charlotte and Charlie and the rest of the Ellingham Hall team who worked hard behind the scenes to make everything run seamlessly the whole weekend! We knew as soon as we visited Ellingham Hall it was the wedding venue of our dreams and even better that it could be exclusively ours for us to enjoy for the full weekend! Our guests absolutely loved it and we were all made to feel at home there for the entire time. The wedding breakfast food also got fantastic reviews from our guests with many saying it was the best wedding food they had ever had! We had the most amazing weekend at Ellingham Hall and wish we could relive it all again.”

“Wow we don’t even know where to start, as you can imagine we have been in such a bubble ever since our big day. Our wedding day was everything we wished for and more. You guys are just amazing and we can’t thank you all enough, from our first day coming to view to the planning process to our big day, everything just ran so smoothly, you guys have been an absolute credit. Yous have helped us in so many ways. Yous have listened to everything we asked. And our day was beautiful because of that. Not only did we have the most amazing day, our guests did too, we have had so many comments back saying “it’s the best wedding I’ve ever been to” “that is how you do a wedding” “the staff were all amazing” “this venue is stunning” it’s just incredible, very overwhelming but we’ll be forever grateful for that. Big big thank you to you and David for being with us on the morning of our wedding making sure everything is running smoothly. Big big thank you to Alicia for all her help and support. And to every other Ellingham staff member present on our big day, thank you because without all of you guys we wouldn’t have had any of that! I wish we could just do it all again, it was perfect! Forever grateful.”

“Thank you all so much for everything you did to help with our Annual Forum and Celebration Concert on Thursday. As usual, I was a bag of nerves for much of the day, but the calm efficiency of Connor and his team helped to get me through. I will definitely recommend Ellingham Hall as a corporate venue. Surprisingly, a lot of the attendees were unaware of the Hall and what you’re able to offer. The fact that we could move from one room to another and have two very different events at the same venue was a big draw for us. “
Catherine Gray, Funding and Communications Officer – Northumberland AONB Partnership
“All of our guests enjoyed their time, with many stating it’s the best wedding they have ever been to! For us it was perfect from start to finish, everything ran absolutely perfectly and nothing was too much for the Ellingham team! Honestly thank you so much, it wasn’t our dream wedding… it exceeded that by a million! Truly magical!”
