In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, micro weddings are not just a popular choice for couples- they are often the only choice. While some couples may struggle to cut down their guest lists, others welcome the opportunity for a more intimate celebration with only their nearest and dearest present.
A smaller guest list means waving goodbye to an elaborate (and expensive) sky high wedding cake in lieu of a small wedding cake. Style, however, need not be sacrificed. From elegant naked cakes to simple and delightful layer cakes, these mini wedding cake ideas are sure to inspire.
If you’re a bride who prefers a classic, timeless look, show this fresh floral-adorned cake to your cake designer. Isn’t it lovely?
