Wedding Cake Table Display Ideas
Aug 25, 2010 Bridal Accessories, Bridesmaids, Creative Wedding Ideas, The Reception
Your wedding cake - not only will it be a delicious dessert for you and your guests, but it also partially serves as a decoration at your wedding’s reception. Your wedding cake is usually a reflection of you and your spouse-to-be’s taste, so it should rightly be displayed in a prominent location at your reception on its own display table. Here are a few simple tips on how to give your wedding cake display table a little spice.
- White table cloths and skirts are usually used for the wedding cake display table, but you could always use a table cloth that match the colors for your wedding, then go for it!
- Drape other pretty fabrics (such as tulle or lace) or organza ribbons around the table.
- Use greenery around the edge to liven up the table.
- Scatter petals around the table top.
- Add tea light candles near the wedding cake and display table. Or, use white Christmas lights to go underneath or around the edge of the table.
- Use things from your wedding to decorate the wedding cake display table - put out your toasting glasses, your cake server, or even your bridesmaids’ bouquets in little vases near the wedding cake.
Here are some examples of wedding cake tables:

We saw these beautiful photos of some very cute wedding details over at the Bride’s Cafe the other day and we just had to share! We love little wedding details like these and this wedding had tons of them - almost all of them from Etsy shops!
How sweet is that little garland that’s being used as a table runner? And the mason jars are a really nice touch in their bright blue containers. Check out all of the details from this wedding over at the Bride’s Cafe.
