An Essex Wedding - May/June 2026 (Issue 128)

PRETTY IN PASTELS Couples embracing this vintage style are increasingly weaving Lambeth-inspired details throughout their entire wedding day, creating a cohesive look that feels romantic and nostalgic. Soft colour palettes such as blush, sage green, ivory, buttercream yellow or powder blue help reinforce the vintage feel. MAKE IT MONOCHROME Create a modern, opulent cake in monochrome. Consider a red velvet sponge beneath the icing to really give a gothic wow factor. THE CHERRY ON TOP! Those glossy, jewel-like red cherries instantly give a cake that unmistakable, regal bakery aesthetic. Studded throughout or arranged on top, they create a decorative finish that feels straight out of a mid-century tea party. daniel-neuhaus-pNQNBzMe1DI-unsplash Karolina Grabowska Marlen Stahlhuth via unsplash Tip! Consider using tiered stands to elevate the look. And if in doubt, add another ribbon! LET THEM EAT CAKE A dessert table is an area you can really go to town with! Beyond the showstopper cake, the theme can be echoed across piped cupcakes and iced biscuits topped with a single cherry to create cohesion without excess. 64
