If you are going for a vintage theme for your wedding day then you might want to think about an art deco style. It is the ideal choice for vintage weddings as there are plenty of ways to incorporate the look into all aspects of the wedding from decor to attire and everything in between!
As an example, let’s take a look at some art deco inspired wedding cakes.
Gold accented wedding cake

The addition of the gold glitter and black icing on the design echo the trend for black and gold during the art deco period and the inclusion of the chevron design also adds another popular art deco pattern.
Green dream

Silver sensation

Turban chic

This headgear was often adorned with a brooch in one of the classic art deco patterns. This cake captures that style beautifully with the wrap effect on the fondant and the fan like topper with a touch of gold.
Bold and beautiful

Art deco roses

The ‘tuxedo’ motif on the upper tier makes the cake a little more formal and the black tipped sugar roses on top give it a little edge.
Make everyone green with envy

All about the bling
Image: The Butter EndThis cake is a perfect choice for a glitzy wedding thanks to the multitude of diamante and silver accents on the tiers. It has a very modern feel and yet it clearly takes its inspiration from the art deco period when we look at the shapes and patterns. This cake gives you the best of both worlds – some vintage style with a modern touch of glam.
