When Should You Finalise Your Wedding Cake Design?

Ah, the question every couple asks at some point:

“When Do We Need to Finalise Our Wedding Cake Design?”

The answer might surprise you! Ideally, your wedding cake design can be finalised around 4 to 6 months before your big day.

Why it’s best to finalise your wedding cake design closer to your wedding day

By the 4–6 month mark, most of your key wedding arrangements, like the floral designs, colour scheme, and overall theme, are already in place.

This timing allows your wedding cake designer to consider all those details and many more to create a cake design that perfectly complements the aesthetic of your day.

Think of it as the finishing touch that ties everything together!

However, this doesn't mean you should wait until this point to book your wedding cake designer.

Cake designers, especially the sought-after ones, often book up months (or even years!) in advance.

Locking in your date early ensures you secure your spot in their busy schedule.

While there's sometimes late availability during quieter months, relying on that can be risky if you have your heart set on a particular designer.

Planning ahead for a stress-free wedding cake design process

By booking early and finalising later, you'll have the best of both worlds: booking early secures your date, finalising your wedding cake design closer to your day allows for seasonal flowers, refined details, and confident decisions.

So, reach out to your cake designer early and enjoy the journey of bringing your dream wedding cake to life!
