The boho look is fast becoming the bridal look of the year for 2015 and 2016 weddings. It’s a relaxed and natural look – less formal than vintage, more refined than rustic. The bohemian bride favours soft, dreamy gowns, simple touches of lace and beading, an abundance of flowers and cascading bouquets…and we have the cakes to match!
Sweet Love Cake Couture have created the perfect wedding cake for the boho bride above in the softest of pastels, with artfully textured frills, trailing vines and hints of lace coming together in a pastiche of effortless beauty.

While this fabulous cake below was originally designed for the “12 Sweet Blessings of Christmas” cake collaboration by Blissfully Sweet Cakes, we think with a few little design changes (look closely an you’ll see tiny snowflakes) it would make a wonderful boho style wedding cake with its hand painted illustrations and organic styling – the perfect complement to this boho wedding gown by Bo & Luca.
