Silver Wedding Cake Stands
The wedding plans are in motion and now it is time to think about the wedding cake. As you plan the wedding cake of your dreams, don’t overlook the decision about a wedding cake stand. One beautiful style is the silver wedding cake stand.
A silver, plateau type cake stand will make any wedding cake look more elegant and sophisticated. If you are planning a traditional or elegant wedding this would be a great choice. You can find a silver plated, hand-crafted cake stand starting at about $50.00 for the 12 inch size. These cake stands are available in both round and square styles and range in size from 8 inches up to 18 inches. Plateau or platform cake stands like this will support a large cake with several layers.
The design of these beautiful cake stands varies from a very simple style with a simple raised or beaded border to vary intricate designs with lovely patterns etched into the silver. If you are planning on having a lot of pattern on your wedding cake, you may want to choose a simple silver cake stand so it won’t detract from the design of your cake. On the other hand, if your cake is quite simple, an elegant silver stand with a beautiful design may be just the thing to complete the wedding cake display.
The silver pedestal cake stands are another choice for couples or are not planning on having a huge cake. These stands do not provide as much support, but are perfect for a smaller cake and fit in nicely with a more casual style wedding reception.
If you prefer a tiered wedding cake stand, you can find several silver plated ones that would be great for displaying a cake with several layers, or for holding cupcakes – the latest trend at many wedding receptions.
For those who love all things traditional or antique, there are some beautiful antique cake stands around that date back to the 1800s. These beautiful Victorian or French antique cake stands are usually round in shape with beautiful patterns carved into the silver. They often have a mirrored base and would be a lovely way to show off a traditional style wedding cake.
Silver is a great way to go at a wedding, since it is elegant and will go with most any other colors that you have chosen for your flowers, favors, décor, etc. Many of the accessories at a wedding reception, such as carving knives and cake toppers will often be silver, so these stands will tie in nicely.
