I’m Featured in the L.A. Times About Vintage Glam Wedding Inspiration

I’m thrilled to share that my work and expertise were featured in the Los Angeles Times in a wedding style article all about achieving the vintage glam look — just like the stunning celebration of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. The guide gives couples tips on how to bring an Old Hollywood aesthetic to their own weddings, and I was honored to contribute specifically to the wedding cake section.

How to Make Your Wedding Cake Vintage Glam

In the L.A. Times article, I spoke about how your wedding cake can be one of the most impactful elements of a vintage glam design scheme — especially when it’s crafted with thoughtful details that reflect cinematic elegance and timeless style. Los Angeles Times

Here’s what I shared:

1. Use Decorative Elements Inspired by Old Hollywood

Vintage glam is all about texture, sparkle, and glamour. One way to bring that to your cake is by incorporating edible sequins, metallic accents, or patterns that echo Art Deco motifs. These details catch the light — especially in candlelit receptions — and give your cake a star-quality feel. Los Angeles Times

Design tip:
Try edible sequins or delicate geometric accents that mimic vintage jewelry or film set lighting.

2. Design Based on Dress or Theme

Your cake doesn’t have to match every element of your reception, but pulling inspiration from your dress, color palette, or theme will unify your wedding look. For vintage glam, think about silhouettes and textures that echo fashion from the golden era — whether that’s pleated satin, pearl details, or sculptural icing work. Los Angeles Times

Design tip:
Draw on your wedding gown or bridesmaid dresses for texture or pattern ideas your cake artist can translate into confectionary design.


3. Let the Cake Be a Visual Focal Point

A well-designed wedding cake works as a sculptural centerpiece — something guests will photograph, admire, and remember long after the last bite. In vintage glam design, this means choosing shapes, finishes, and details that stand out without feeling overdone. Los Angeles Times

Design tip:
Keep the color palette classic — whites, creams, golds — but elevate with shimmer, fine detail piping, or subtle metallics to give depth.


Why Vintage Glam Works for Wedding Cakes

Vintage glam channels the sophistication and drama of Old Hollywood — and your cake should feel like a star in its own right. By incorporating classic design elements with refined, modern techniques, your dessert becomes more than a sweet ending; it becomes a design moment of the celebration. Los Angeles Times


🤍 Grateful for the Feature

Being featured in the L.A. Times alongside other wedding professionals discussing how to create a cohesive vintage glam celebration was such an honor. It’s exciting to see wedding cake design given thoughtful attention in a major publication — especially within the context of a real wedding that captured so much public admiration. Los Angeles Times

If you’re planning a wedding with a vintage glam vibe or want a cake that acts as both dessert and artistic centerpiece, I’d love to help make it a reality.
