— March 13, 2014 — Lifestyle
These alternative wedding cake ideas are ideal for any couple looking to make their marriage ceremony much more personalized and unique.

When it comes to tying the knot with that special someone, making sure to include details and features that reflect your personality and taste as a couple is key to making this momentous day more sentimental. While sticking to traditional methods can often create a wonderfully simple ceremony, opting to add customized touches and eclectic features can help turn an ordinary occasion into much more of a memorable event. These alternative wedding cake ideas stray away from the nostalgic white tier cakes for desserts that reference pop culture films, TV shows and even video games, allowing couples to humorously showcase their mutual interests and passions.
