White Buttercream Wedding Cakes | 2017 Real Weddings

As I mentioned in my 2017 wedding stats post, 8 of my 10 weddings served wedding cake. And I must say, when I compiled the photos, I was a bit shocked at how white they were! I looked back on my 2016 wedding cakes and my 2015 wedding cakes, and you can really see the trend moving from some limited color in the designs to all white wedding cakes. Where will we go next? When I was getting married a decade ago, the Mad Hatter style cake as ALL the rage.
