Wedding Cake Tips: 4 Fun Types of Linens to Use for Styling Your Cake

TEXTURED

Have you noticed how creative linens are getting? You can find all different kinds of softness and texture. I really like the idea of picking something textured in a color that is bold and opposite of your cake. Check out how cute this example looks. 

LACE

Lace is sexy and romantic. What better linen to help add some extra love and romance to your already intimate wedding affair. In the example of lace we found, I really like how it includes a statement and some cozy photos of the couple.
 
 

GLITTER

I have been very in love with the creation of sequins linens. They shine and also add texture, but is perfect if you’re going for a glam look. I love it when weddings are kept simple but also display just a few beautiful and punchy elements like this.

 

NATURAL

What about going with no linens at all!? Yes, some brides are opting to use natural elements to bring beauty to their wedding cake set up. I gotta say that I do love the look of a simple natural element like fresh flowers, herbs or even fruit.
