Wedding Cake Stands
Whether you are choosing a traditional or an entirely unusual wedding cake, a wedding cake stand is both practical and useful for presenting your cake and can be as simple or as decorative as you wish. Perhaps you are considering something quirky and a bit different to match the theme of the wedding, or maybe you want a wedding cake stand that simply allows your cake to take centre stage. Either way, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to picking this unassuming, yet vital part to your wedding.
Key Points to Consider
It may sound obvious, but you need to pick a wedding cake stand that can elegantly hold the right number of tiers you are having on the cake. The bottom of your wedding cake stand should be the same size as, or just very slightly larger than, the bottom tier of your cake. If you are choosing to have several tiers on your cake then you need a cake stand that can withhold the weight.
You might also want to match the colour scheme or theme of the wedding and reflect this in the wedding cake stand. The elaborateness or simplicity of the cake combined with the number of tiers and where it will be placed will help in the decision-making of the right style of wedding cake stand.
Shapes and Sizes
Wedding cake stands come in all shapes and sizes, with round and square bases suitable for a single cake, stands that take on the appearance of a staircase, asymmetrical and floating stands. You can also find traditionally tiered stands that can hold several cakes, stands where the base of the cake rests on pillars and even rotating stands.
Cupcake stands are very popular and can come in a variety of styles to match your wedding them. They can be made from all kinds of materials from unassuming plastic and natural materials right through to silver stands, providing a traditional, timeless look.
