Not only that, but they help your wedding cake rise up (sorry for the pun there – couldn’t help it!) to be the focal point of your wedding reception on the cake table. So if you just don’t feel like dealing with the choices of wedding cake stands and are tempted to forget about them completely, or are just researching ideas for wedding cake stands for your wedding cake, here is a quick rundown of some of the stands available for your wedding.
Wedding Cake Stands with Pillars
Just as there are lots of different kinds of wedding cakes, there are lots of different choices when it comes to wedding cake stands. Wedding cake stands with pillars are one of the most popular kinds of wedding cake stands. A wedding cake stand with pillars means there are pillars and bases between each tier of your wedding cake. Wedding cake stands with pillars can really give your wedding cake some height, and has a really elegant look than a stacked wedding cake. The pillars you use between the layers of your wedding cake could be glass balls, wine glasses, decorated wire and any number of other possibilities.
Tower Wedding Cake Stands
Tower wedding cake stands are a lot like wedding cake stands with pillars, but there is only a single column in the middle of each layer of your wedding cake. Wedding cakes with a central column that this wedding cake stand provides the look of a majestic tower for any wedding cake. Many brides who choose tower wedding cake stands will many times fill in the space between the layers of their wedding cake with flowers or fruit for a really elegant look.
A Floating Wedding Cake Stand
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could get the layers of your wedding cake to actually float? That would be really cool. But since we can’t all defy gravity, we’ve got to do the best we can. A floating wedding cake stand is one where there is a central piece that holds the layers of the wedding cake above one another which gives the appearance that the tiers of the wedding cake are floating over each other. I had a hard time picturing this until I saw one in person. It looks a bit like a long piece of metal, with arms that come out and hold each layer of cake. The end effect is beautiful by the way. A great option for wedding cake stands.
A Plateau Wedding Cake Stand
Another popular kind of wedding cake stands are one that is really just a raised cake plate. It’s simple and elegant, and still gives your wedding cake some height to really make it stand off the table and give an impressive appearance.
Some bakeries will supply wedding cake stands with the purchase of your wedding cake, others will charge you a small rental fee, and some others will ask you to supply your own wedding cake stands. But when it comes down to it, there is no right or wrong wedding cake stand, just so long as it provides adequate support to your wedding cake.
