Top Spring and Summer 2011 Wedding Cake Color Trends
If you're making the final decisions for your Spring or summer 2011 wedding, choosing the right theme and color palette for your wedding cake is a top priority!
La Cuir a Paris, a French fashion expo that works with fashion designers from around the globe released a color forecast for Spring and summer 2011 weddings, and many cake designers are using these color palettes as inspiration for the wedding cake. Whether you're going for a classic and elegant theme or something a little more chic and trendy, take your pick from any of these top spring and summer 2011 wedding cake color trends:
Tropical Color Palettes
Sunny yellow, bright orange, deep red and dark blue and parrot are just some of the eye-catching colors in the "Tropical Dramaturgy" color palette. These rich and bold colors can add a fun and playful twist to any wedding cake for the Spring and summer 2011 wedding season and are suitable for fun and whimsical wedding cake designs.
Underwater Colors
If you're going for a fresh, nautical theme for your spring or summer 2011 wedding, dive into the "Underwater Variation" color palette. This palette includes anemone pink, dark blue, navy, deep purple and aqua green. It's a refreshing theme for the 2011 wedding season and you don't have to go for the seashore or underwater theme to make the most of this color trend.
Romantic Garden
Soft pink, teal, light grey and beige are the top colors for this Spring and summer 2011 wedding color palette.

Beachside Colors
La Cuir a Paris unveiled the "Shadowy Shores" color palette that includes bold reds, strong greens, canvas, navy and dark beige. This is a great color palette for weddings that will be taking place in the evening or indoors during the Spring and summer 2011 wedding season. These rustic, simple and elegant colors are a good match for more traditional weddings.
Bright Pastels
Even though many traditional weddings center around soft pinks, lilacs and light greens for the spring and summer season, the 2011 wedding will be centered around brighter pastels complemented by neon colors and bolder hues. The "Enchanted Picnic" color palette includes rich browns, neon pinks, bright greens and dark grays.

4 Classic Wedding Cake Myths -- Busted!
You Can Never Be Too SweetThe most pliable of icings (fondant, marzipan, gum paste) are made with tons and tons of sugar. Of course, we've got as sweet a tooth as the next bride, but too much of a good thing is -- too much of a good thing. Counter your fondant masterpiece with fresh flowers instead of mini marzipan blooms and choose a tart fruit filling to cut through the sweetness.You could also try serving the sugary masterpiece with a side of fresh berries or other seasonal fruit.
It's Not Enough To Serve Wedding Cake As Dessert
Okay, so some brides have wedding cake and berries and sorbet and a dessert table and a groom's cake. Whew. You shouldn't feel like all these delectables are mandatory for your wedding. Your mother is right -- a delicious wedding cake is enough dessert to offer your guests. If you really, really want to, you can satisfy sweet teeth without overburdening bellies with a small truffle, chocolate kiss, tiny biscotti or chocolate-dipped fortune cookie.
It's Cheaper To Make Your Own Cake
Wedding cakes can be expensive to buy, but just add up the cost of ingredients: tools and equipment, time spent researching, baking, hand-crafting those little tiny marzipan roses, buying a cake stand -- you've got a costly and labor-intensive project on your hands. There are trade-offs to making your own cake, even if you are an amazing baker. Think of it this way: there are some things you should pay other people to do simply because you shouldn't be worrying about whether you shut the oven off while your maid of honor gives a toast.
Simple Cakes Are Less Expensive Than Elaborate Cakes
We know, we know. In light of your budget, you opt for the cake with the cleanest lines imaginable. Well, guess what? You might as well go for over-the-moon decorations. The reason: cake designers are able to hide little, sugary imperfections behind swags, rosettes and fleur-de-lis. Your extraordinarily simple cake has to be virtually flawless. An attribute for which your cake designer may make you pay.
