Hey friends! Get ready for some seriously inspiring images here! These wedding cake and invitation suite combos are filled with color, texture and beauty, and will hopefully provide some inspiration for your big day.
Wedding stationery is often the very first thing your guests will see related to your wedding; your invitations and Save the Dates set the tone and generate excitement for the ceremony and festivities to come. Similarly, the wedding cake is a great opportunity to carry your theme through on the day of, so why not have your baker bring in some of the colors and motifs from your invites? Coordinating the elements of your wedding design, from start to finish, pulls the whole event together into a cohesive visual style.
I’ve been collecting wedding cake and invitation images over on our Pinterest feed for a while now, and I’m sometimes surprised when I see how the visual trends cross over. Although many of the combos below look like they might have been designed for the same wedding, none of them were!
Here are my 12 favorite combinations to inspire you:
1. Organic Painterly Dots
Peacock and coppery-hued painterly texture makes this invitation and cake perfect for a beach wedding or rustic-themed coastal affair.

2. Romantic Textures
A thistle-hued cake with the most gorgeous buttercream piping perfectly compliments our Watercolor Frame Invitation suite, with its textural brushstroke border and elegant typography.

4. Black Tie with a Twist
Our Black Tie invitation suite is not overly fussy or traditional – watercolor details and romantic calligraphy give this invitation a more modern feel. Tie the theme together (see what I did there?) at the reception with this stunning black and white marble-textured cake.

A robin’s egg blue cake with chic linear texture feels like the sweet sister to our Pastel Modern invitation suite, in cool blue-green tones.

6. Modern Shapes
This cake! I’m in love with the perfectly placed geometric details in soft warm colors. It’s most certainly the kindred spirit of our modern Color Bar invitation suite.

7. Sweet & Simple
The Color Wash invitation suite is one of my all-time favorites. It combines modern brush lettering with a swash of watercolor, shown here in a blush hue that’s a delightful complement to this simple white buttercream cake adorned with a well-placed bloom.

For an elegant, tropical feel, we love this two-tiered cake with bold leaf elements on an otherwise-unadorned white buttercream. Pair it with our Flora Noir invitation to perfectly set the tone for your guests.

Deep indigos and teals bring the drama in this beautiful combination; both the cake by Nine Cakes and our Indigo invitation suite feature textural watercolor finishes. How amazing would these be for a coastal or lakeside wedding?

12. A Festive Affair
Last but not least, for a wintery or holiday-season wedding, why not skip the traditional wedding cake and go cozy with something like this gingerbread bundt cake by Salt & Baker, adorned with a festive wreath of bay leaves? Pair it with our Forest Fern invitation to double down on the greenery.
