Wildlife & Nature Inspired Wedding Cakes

Autumn is one of the most magnificent seasons from which to draw inspiration for wildlife and outdoors inspired wedding cake designs.

The Enchanting Merchant Company have created this stunning and unique tribute to the great outdoors (above) with game season inspired tartan and fabulously crafted pheasant and deer decor.

A beautifully detailed hand-painted snipe is the centrepiece of this charming creation by The Artful Bakery, Ireland (below left).

On the right, the addition of a pair of pheasant feathers to an autumnal arrangement of berries and foliage adds a beautiful, wildlife inspired element to this design by Krumblies Wedding Cakes.

Silhouetted deer roam the forestry of this incredible autumn wedding creation by Viva La Cake (below left), dressed with a splendid harvest of autumnal adornments – much like Martha Stewart’s delicate tuile leaf cookies on the right for which you’ll find the recipe here: autumn leaf cookies.

This beautifully structured floral arrangement brings a wonderfully rich array of autumn colours to this enchanting woodland relief masterpiece by Sveet Bo and Frank.

An entire family of forest creatures have been masterfully crafted by Avalon Yarnes (below) in a spectacular cake art display.

The Cake Tin have created a most impressive owl cake topper to grace their tree bark cake below, with a giant wingspan of wafer paper feathers.

This peacock-feather topped piece by Faye Cahill (below left) is a wonderfully contemporary take on the woodland theme in a chic sage palette (you can get a peacock feather tutorial here), while the amazing sculpted deer cake by Sylvia Weinstock, on the right, is simply breath-taking in true Syliva Weinstock style.

Embossed, textured finishes add a truly elegant design touch to the wedding cake designs below from The Cake That Ate Paris, but it’s the wonderfully botanical, woodland inspired arrangments of flowers, foliage, berries and feathers set at angle that makes these designs fabulously chic and unique.

Rustic feathers inspired by game season paired with strings of draped pearls make for an elegant, vintage inspired wedding cake below for the autumn bride who wants elegance and nature to come together in her wedding cake design (image via Pinterest).
