Metallic wedding cakes can be a pretty fabulous – and also unique – option for your big-day dessert. Metallic colors – like silver, gold, and bronze – convey a sense of warmth and opulence that other colors just can’t match.

Take a look at the pictures below for inspiration on silver wedding cakes, gold wedding cakes, and more. You can pin the ones that you like, share them on Facebook, or even Tweet them. The idea is to remember the ones that spark your imagination so that you can see them later to narrow it down or print them out for your baker.

Silver Wedding Cakes & Gold Wedding Cakes

Gold is a perfect color if you’re trying to add drama and elegance to your wedding decor. Gold wedding cakes are perfect for theme weddings, as well, like Steampunk festivities, Victorian fetes, fall weddings, or even Medieval weddings. Gold will lend warmth to the setting of your big day, as well as feeling of richness and royalty.

Silver (and other colors, like pewter, iron, or in-between colors like pearl) works well in weddings because it can be elegant but also very crisp and striking. Silver wedding cakes are also ideal for winter weddings because it evokes that feeling of ice (but without all the shivering!). Silver can also play nicely with crystal as well as virtually every color and texture out there. It also looks stunning with a white wedding dress!

Remember that when it comes to silver wedding cakes, gold wedding cakes, and other metallic wedding cakes, you can do as much or as little as you want to with the color. Too much metallic might feel overwhelming and gaudy if you aren’t careful, whereas a few accents can be perfect (think metallic ribbon on a white wedding cake, for example). Of course, the most important thing is that it’s your wedding and your cake, so choose the one of your dreams!
