Modernist wedding cake!

Not a great photo, as I wasn’t able to set up the cake (the caterer had to do it!).
The bride designed this cake herself, and also made the figurines – the blue dragees represent the sea, the gold ones represent sand. The 3 shells behind the figures are special to the bride and groom.
I had worried this cake would look terrible when given the brief, but actually I think it turned out ok?
