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.

“I booked a lunch party at Ellingham Hall for a very discerning group comprising of generous supporters of a local charity. We were 27 people and we enjoyed a Champagne reception before a delicious three course lunch. Wendy and her team could not do enough for us, our every request was granted. Dietary requirements were very efficiently and creatively dealt with and the result was a most enjoyable event at a price I was very satisfied with. I would definitely use Ellingham Hall again for a function like this.”

“We’ve had so many compliments from family about our wedding. Some of our guests hadn’t heard of Ellingham Hall before our weekend wedding. I think some guests were wondering why they were at a wedding the night before, as a lot of weddings are only one day. But everyone just absolutely loved it. The team at Ellingham were great. Matt received a lot of compliments on the Friday night. Lots of family said how great he was. In fact, there were loads of compliments about the entire team, they all did a fab job. And everyone complimented us on the food. My friend, Joanne, said it was the best wedding food she had ever tasted. We had just under 100 guests during the day of the wedding and that’s a lot of people to serve, especially with the choices. But it was all brilliant.”

“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
“We just wanted to say thank you so much for making our day so amazing the other week, you are all so lovely and it was exactly what we dreamed of! So many guests were in awe of the amazing venue and things like the rooftop cocktail hour made it extra special, we really appreciate it all!”

“We like to do something different, and Ellingham Hall is certainly out of the ordinary. We had a fantastic time for our staff party and team building. The activities were fantastic and enabled us to get our teams mixed up and get everybody bonding and having a good time together in an amazing environment. We would recommend Ellingham Hall to anyone, the guys here are fantastic.”
Ben Quigley, Group Chief Executive – Everything Different Marketing
“The hall catered for everything we needed, from the luxury entrance rooms, to the grounds outside, which we used to talk with clients in more detail afterwards. It was exactly what we wanted to allow us to host a presentation of this size. Guests were welcomed with a selection of drinks and canapés in the entrance hall and then again on departure. The seminar itself took place in the Chapel, while the dining room and drawing room provided the perfect spaces clients to relax.
