Who says that all your wedding cupcakes have to be of the same shape and size? Well, that is not at all necessary! You can have non-identical designs for your wedding day cupcakes. Coordinating the designs with some beautiful similarities in size, color, or theme will give your wedding cupcakes more creativity and beauty, though, just try your best to limit the designs of your wedding day cupcakes to no more than half a dozen!

Well, chocolate frosting is not usually a bride’s first choice, but if you ask us, it does look both delicious and stylish at the same time. A lovely swirled design is the perfect starting point if you are going in for a chocolate frosting cupcake wedding cake. To make it look more chic and lovely, you can consider elevating it with a small offset white rose with dragees pops against the chocolate frosting. If you feel like your cupcake frosting is rich, deep chocolate, then consider adding a rose in a bright color to make the cupcake pop. In fact, the addition of the flower on the top of the cupcake will make it look beautiful in all your wedding photos captured by none other than our professional team of wedding photographers!
Spring is the season when the flowers are in full bloom!

An iced sunflower cupcake is just a perfect example of a classic summer wedding or a romantic fall wedding. In fact, you can also choose orchids if you are planning a tropical wedding theme. If you ask us, we just love the color blossom, as this lovely and pretty shade gracefully adds depth to a monochromatic wedding scheme.
