A logical way to go with your Florida wedding is to have wedding cake ideas that reflect your tropical theme reception. That Florida or tropical look can be used in any setting that Florida Weddings have to offer.

Whether you are having a beach wedding, a resort wedding or even a traditional wedding reception in a hall or restaurant, you can add great tropical touches to your wedding cake.

Here are some tips to use for your Florida wedding cake ideas.

• Use seashells as a beautiful cake accent. You can use real ones, or shells made from marzipan, chocolate or fondant.
• Have a simple cake with white icing and have tropical flowers added as decoration. You can use Hydrangeas, Orchids, Plumeria and more. Just make sure that the flowers you are using are safe to have on and around the cake.
• Other great ocean themes include Sand dollars, Starfish, Tropical Fish or any combination of sea life.
• If you and your spouse-to-be love water sports, incorporate your love of scuba diving, surfing or boating!
• Pearls or icing that looks like pearls is an elegant touch for any cake
• A bamboo mat under your cake looks great with any of the cake ideas mentioned. The bamboo motif can also be used as edging on your wedding cake.
• Use beautiful tropical colors. For the sunset look, use oranges, reds and yellows. Use light blues, light greens and whites for a soft ocean look. Use the vibrant colors of tropical flowers like purples, deep greens, bright yellows and reds.
• Dont forget about the exotic flavors that can be used in your wedding cake or cupcake wedding cakes Florida bakeries are famous for using flavors like Key Lime, Rum, Mango, Orange, Banana, Coconut and Guava. Chocolate combines nicely with all of the fruit flavors too!

Having a Florida wedding affords you the excuse to have an exotic touch when it comes to wedding cake ideas. You can use any of the elements we mentioned as wedding cake toppers and wedding cake designs or think even a little more out of the box and do something whimsical like add beach toys, palm trees or mini alligators to your cake!
