If you decide to have your wedding in the midst of the holiday season, make sure that you find an ideal Christmas cake that is not only festive but also sophisticated. This could be difficult, especially since most of the cakes on display at this time of year are stifled in flamboyant shades of red and green. Don't feel obligated to go overboard with something that screams Santa Claus and reindeer; you can easily convey the feeling and setting without sacrificing eloquence.

Although everyone loves the cozy feelings induced by pine needles next to a crackling fire, this is your wedding day and you should do it the way you want. If this means a traditional wedding cake with floral work, then so be it. Even though the air is filled with a winter chill, there are still plenty of flowers in bloom that would work beautifully with your wedding theme.

A popularly fun way to keep in step with the approaching Yuletide season is to select a cake that looks like a stack of presents. The best gift cakes are ones in which the gifts are slightly haphazard and decorated with assorted colors and patterns. Equipped with some fondant icing and many of your guests won't even realize that it's the wedding cake! Surprise and amaze your wedding attendants by choosing something that they don't see every day.
