Wedding Cake Stands on a Budget
There are so many details to think about when planning a wedding and some of those details are very expensive. It is possible to blow your whole budget before the invitations and flowers are all ordered if you are not careful.
When it comes to choosing a wedding cake, most people have a vision of what they want. Maybe a simple three layer cake on a platform stand is the ideal cake for you. Or perhaps a more dramatic floating cake stand is more your style. While the wedding cake stand is an important part of the cake display at the reception, you do not need to spend a fortune to get an attractive and functional stand. Here are a few ideas that may help you save a little money while selecting a wedding cake stand.
If you are considering a pedestal style cake stand you can find ceramic stands at stores like Target starting at about $10.00. Cake stands made of glass and stainless steel also tend to be less expensive. There are many beautiful wire or wrought iron stands that do not cost too much..
If you have $25 – $50 in your budget, all sorts of possibilities open up. Crystal three-tier wedding cake stands can be found under $50 at several online stores. Cupcake stands are very popular right now, are very affordable and come in many sizes and styles
If you have your heart set on a silver plateau base or a fountain stand you will have to budget approximately $100 – $200 in order to have a good selection to choose from. Some couples consider a beautiful cake stand to be either a wedding keepsake or something that they will use again and do not mind putting more money into the purchase.
If you would rather not spend too much you also have the options of renting a stand or making your own. Information about both of these options is available online. If you have a special theme for your wedding you may be able to create a unique wedding stand to tie in with the rest of your wedding. Be creative or find a friend or designer who can help you with the project.
In the end it really isn’t all about how much the wedding cake and the display cost – it is about enjoying your special day with the people that you love most.
