ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

Sweet wonders – Trendy wedding cakes
Sweet wonders – Trendy wedding cakes. Here are the hottest wedding cake trends to make your big day even more memorable.
Trendy wedding cakes
The wedding cake is an important part of the wedding celebrations, but it doesn’t have to be strictly traditional or overly formal. These new trends show that a touch of boldness and playfulness can produce fantastic results. Here are the hottest wedding cake trends to make your big day even more memorable.
HEART-SHAPED CAKES
The heart, the universal symbol of love, is making a comeback as a romantic shape for wedding cakes. Heart-shaped cakes have a charming retro feel and are perfect for couples who want a playful and loving touch to their cake. This shape is a sweet way to showcase your love in a creative and unexpected way.
GARDEN PATCH CAKES
Inspired by the beauty of nature, Garden Patch cakes are decorated with a lush mix of flowers, herbs and green foliage. With a design that resembles a miniature garden, these cakes are perfect for outdoor weddings or for couples who love nature’s organic and vibrant aesthetic. The cake becomes not just part of the celebration, but also a work of art that reflects the beauty of the natural world.
RIBBONS AND ROSETTES
A new, elegant trend is to decorate wedding cakes with beautiful ribbons and rosettes made from various materials, ranging from sugar paste to satin-like edible details. These elements give the cake a sophisticated and luxurious feel and are particularly well suited to weddings with a romantic or classic theme. Ribbons and rosettes can be customised in both colour and size to suit the bride and groom’s style.
WAVY PIPING
For a modern twist on classic decoration, wavy piping takes centre stage on the wedding cake. This trend is all about creating soft, flowing patterns along the edges of the cake, giving a sense of movement and elegance. Wavy piping creates a modern yet timeless look and can be adapted to suit different colour schemes and themes.
TEXTURED AND TONAL CAKES
Playing with textures and shades gives the cake a more artistic look. By combining different layers of colours and textures – such as soft pastels with matt, crisp details – you can create a cake that looks both sophisticated and unique. This trend is perfect for couples who want something more subtle yet exciting, offering a deeper aesthetic experience.
EXTRA-LARGE WEDDING CAKES
For those who want to make a big impression, large wedding cakes have become popular. These monumental creations can be up to several tiers high and are designed to truly impress. With decorations such as flowers, glitter and bespoke details, these magnificent cakes can be the centrepiece of the wedding reception and a symbol of your grand love.
SHEET CAKES
A practical and trendy option is sheet cakes – perfect for couples who want something simple and easy to serve without compromising on flavour. These cakes are simple, yet can still be decorated creatively. Perfect for larger weddings where plenty of portions are needed, or as a complement to a smaller, decorative wedding cake.
UNIQUE FLAVOURS
Experimenting with unusual flavours has become a trend for couples who want to surprise their guests with something new. Instead of traditional vanilla or chocolate flavours, many couples are choosing flavours such as lavender, pistachio, salted caramel, or even tropical fruits like passion fruit and mango. Having a unique flavour on the cake ensures that guests will remember both the taste and the appearance long after the party is over.
