Fresh figs have two seasons: early in June and August to October. They have a deep purple / redish color on the outside, and look stunning when cut open, with a rich coral color and beautiful texture. They pair perfectly with all types of berries and have an incredible and sophisticated taste that will compliment your sweet cake so well.

You can choose to use figs as the only star of your cake, as you can see in some minimalist fig wedding cakes below, or combine it with other fruits, flowers or greeneries.

Oh, and most importantly, we must not forget to mention that figs are believed to bring good luck and prosperity. Sounds wedding appropriate to me.

Allright, we have gathered 20+ stunning fig wedding cakes to inspire you for your wedding. Pin your faves and have fun!

The post Fig Wedding Cakes Are The Tastier Wedding Trend This Year appeared first on My Sweet Engagement.

Say good-bye to a traditional cake stand and make your most important dessert stand out! Get inspired with these 12 stunning hanging wedding cakes.

1. Pure Romance

This four-tiered floral painted wedding cake is pure romance. The cake swing is suspended by ribbons and delicately embellished with blush, deep red roses and greeneries, which matches the cake painting perfectly.

2. Trends od Trends

In case you didn’t know, figs and macramés are also extremely popular on weddings right now.  Not only figs are a delicious fruit, but it also looks great on the eyes. As an extra bonus, this is an excellent way to incorporate Living Coral (a.k.a. Pantone Color of the Year) on your wedding.

3. Say YES to Drama

With bold colors and a voluminous greenery skirt, this wedding cake display will make your guests line up for photos.

4. Vintage Glam

This cake display got a little more magical with these floating vintage birdcages, lots of greenery and a glamorous sparkly gold blanket.

5. Chandelier Style Hanging Wedding Cake

This rose gold chandelier style wedding cake is anything but boring.

6. Rustic Chic

This wedding cake combines rustic elements, like the wood base and the ropes, with an all white frosting cake, embellished with greens and gold elements, that also gives it an elegant look.

7. A White Affair

Just like the previous example, this wedding cake is a rustic chic mix, but the cake is the only element being featured, with lots and lots of eucalyptus foliage and white roses.

8. Boho Meets Modern

Did you know Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love? Which makes it more than appropriate to use it as a wedding cake topper and dessert table decoration. The geometric patterns on the three-tiered cake give it a modern look, perfectly counterbalanced by this unique boho style macrame swing suspension.

9. Elegant Romance

A romantic semi-naked cake with delicate flowers is the perfect match for this modern, all white and gold accents display.

10. Free Spirited Bohemian Dream

Another macrame hanging swing inspiration. This one really just makes us wanna run free, like gypsies. Did I hear elopement?

11. Garden Dreams

If you are having a garden wedding, take advantage of big trees with sturdy branches to hang your wedding cake. The green foliage on the ropes makes the cake swing blend in perfectly with the surroundings, allowing the cake to be the focal point.

12. Faux Floating Cake

If you love the way this new trend looks, but is way too scared to have your wedding cake hanging in the air, you can create a floating illusion with a small acrylic or glass table. And let’s talk about this massive greenery skirt? Absolute show-stopper!

Will you be joining the hanging wedding cakes trend?
