So, you’re heading to the ocean to exchange vows. How magical indeed! First and foremost, you’ll find the perfect dress for an oceanfront wedding. But after that, it’s probably time to think about…cake! You can have your cake and eat it, too, on your wedding day. And with majestic ocean waves around, what’s more fitting than a decadent beach wedding cake?
When choosing a cake for your beach bash, think about the overall vibe. Maybe you lean into shades of blue and traditional nautical details. If you want to achieve something a bit more elegant in your aesthetic, try mimicking wave movements in frosting and decorations.
