Not all people want a white wedding and when it comes to choices of wedding cake colors, then you can often be quite limited. But one color that can add that certain degree of class to any wedding is burgundy.
Burgundy is that deep sultry color, lying somewhere between red and purple on the color spectrum. It is often used in royal gatherings as window dressing in a lot of high-class hotels.
But you might be skeptical as to how these colors work for your wedding cake.
Where can you find the right burgundy wedding cake? How versatile are these wedding cakes? What colors match burgundy in a complementary way?
Well, we have compiled a list of 15 of the nicest burgundy cakes we can find, all of them in a variety of different shapes and styles.
As you can see, this first wedding cake comes with all the trimmings. It is an autumnal floral design, with deep burgundy flowers running around the rim.
This will make the perfect centerpiece for weddings that aim to look sophisticated but not too showy.
This has a gold stand, but you can easily have it on an oak stand or just lay it flat on your white buffet table.
This cake will contrast nicely with more somber colors as opposed to bright white décor, although you can have this with a more traditional wedding color scheme.
This cake is more for the people who like a hint of burgundy within a more traditional wedding cake color scheme. The burgundy itself comes in hints in the decoration, with the main body of the cake being white and pink in color.
With baby-pink ribbons around the base, this cake is neither too showy or in-your-face. The burgundy flowers around the edge attract the eye in a subtle way.

Don’t forget the delicious creamy icing that covers the whole thing like a layer of thick winter snow!
That’s one of the great things about burgundy is that it suggests wealth, even if you aren’t wealthy. You can really elevate the status of your wedding with a cake that includes burgundy, and this cake is no different.
This is a grand and regal design, with a burgundy base, a marbled center, and a pure cream top.

But the gold in this cake is very understated and not too ostentatious. It comes with burgundy in floral decorations, which draw the eye to the main body of the cake.
You can add anything you like to decorate this cake, although we must admit that the plastic bird nestling at the top is a beautiful touch.

This comes laced with burgundy and gold flowers, which adds the final flourish.
This next cake is so splendid to look at that you might even be reluctant to cut it. It has three pure white tiers with burgundy and red roses cascading down the side in a dramatic swirling effect.
