One wedding trend I am seeing more and more of--but still can't get enough of--is the naked wedding cake.

These confident, icing-less cakes are just like the brides that choose them: fresh, fun, and naturally beautiful.

The naked cake provides that perfect, natural compliment to an outdoor spring or summer wedding, as well as reflects the kind of raw beauty that a rustic wedding wants to achieve, regardless of the season.

SO: out with icing! These baked beauties are perfect just the way they are:

Like many of the brides who chose black and white for their wedding day decor, the confident color combination can be bold and romantic. Whether it's with a sash, a checkered dance floor, or swizzle straws, black and white can add an aesthetic suggestion of the union between the masculine and feminine. 

Here are some stunning examples of how to make a sophisticated statement with black and white on your wedding day:
