In What Ways Can a Cake Table Be Decorated?

Your wedding cake table is yet another opportunity to reflect your wedding theme and personal style. Start with the tablecloth -- white is always safe, but for a more dramatic touch, use a bold shade of one of your wedding colors. You can also add texture by draping tulle or organza along the sides. For an air of classic romance, sprinkle rose petals on the table top and complete the look with pillar candles.

To personalize your cake table, display your engagement photos or photos of your parents cutting their wedding cakes. Use heirloom lace and linen or a special tablecloth that represents your cultural background. If your wedding encompasses a specific theme, surround your cake with corresponding symbols. For example, poker chips are fun expressions of a Vegas-style wedding, while seashell and starfish adornments are perfect for a seaside theme.

Your wedding cake table is also the best place to present your toasting flutes and cake-serving set. Wind ribbons, silk flowers, or other beautiful embellishments around the glass stems, and place your knife and server alongside the champagne flutes. Engrave the crystal and silverware for an extra-special touch.
