Trend Alert: 7 Elegant Hexagonal Wedding Cakes

By Heather Lee, Brides

Looking for a subtle way to make your wedding cake stand out? Instead of round- or square-shaped tiers, opt for the hexagon. The six-sided shape is sleek, modern, and full of interesting angles for visual appeal; at the same time, hexagonal tiers have a wonderful elegance and stateliness.

You could choose all-hexagonal tiers and stack them on top of each other; or, you could mix-and-match hexagon, round, and square-shaped tiers to create a unique combination. Whatever you decide, since the hexagon shape has such a striking appearance, you'll want to keep the adornment clean and simple—the shape itself brings a lot to the dessert table even without any embellishments.
