Wedding Party Guide

Your wedding will be one of the biggest days of your life and it is important that everything is exactly how you want it. This means planning for all the decorations including the wedding cake and stand. Although most caterers can supply the cake stand with the wedding cake many couples choose to use a custom cake stand that represents their unique tastes.

Cake stands are available from most catering and party supply stores as well as online. They come in everything from basic models through to the most extravagant designs that you can think of. Many wedding cakes are multi tiered designs, but a 2 tier cake stand is probably the most popular. The most popular style is a simple elegant stand in either silver or gold, but red and white are also quite popular. The best thing about simple wedding cake stands is that they don’t have to cost a lot of money to look great!

For those with more expensive tastes and want a lasting memory of their wedding cake a custom designed cake stand is a great idea. These can be personalized with your unique tastes in mind and you can choose from any design that you would like. This also means that it will be a one-of-a-kind cake stand which means that your wedding cake will be completely unique. It is important to order a custom cake stand as early as possible because it will take some time to be made.

When choosing a cake stand it is a good idea to pick something that matches the rest of your decorations. However, some people choose to have a cake that stands out from the rest so that it becomes a stunning feature. Whichever you choose it is important to take some time over your decision so that you are happy with the result on the big day!

Three and four tier wedding cakes are very popular, especially if you are having a large wedding reception. Displaying the individual cake layers on separate levels makes the whole cake display very elegant and appealing to the eye. Let’s take a look at the different options that are available when you are considering this type of wedding cake stand.

The traditional tiered wedding cake is round, but square cakes have come back in style in recent years and offer a modern and sophisticated look for today’s bride and groom. There are many cake stands available in different sizes to display either a round or square shaped wedding cake. You will need to make sure that the cake plates are the correct size for your cake layers. Some couples prefer to buy their cake stand first and then have the cake designer plan the size of the cake accordingly. You will notice that there are some standard sizes in both wedding cakes and in the cake stands, so it is not difficult to match up the cake with the stand unless you have an antique or unusual cake stand or if you have a custom cake in a special size or shape.

The different cake layers are separated from each other by columns or pillars. This is what provides the dramatic look of the display that has come to be associated with the wedding cake tradition. The cake layers often diminish in size as the layers rise up. The top layer of the cake is often given to the bride and room in a small box so they can freeze it and then enjoy it on there first anniversary as they look back on their big day.

You may also want to consider a tower cake stand which is great for displaying cupcakes, or a floating cake stand, that makes the layers appear as if they are floating in the air since the support is in the back of the display. Take a look at the options available in magazines and online and you will start to get a good idea of the type of stand that will work best for your wedding cake.
