Cake Table Decorating
Submitted by Catherine White
Decorating
your cake table can be as easy as 1 2 3!
Begin by placing a tablecloth over the cake table. A white tablecloth is the
norm, but if there is a particular color you would prefer, such as the color of
the bridesmaids dresses, there is no set rule disregarding this practice.
To dress up the edges of the table, you can drape tulle around it. You can
further dress up the tulle with white Christmas lights, greenery, and/or
flowers. You can also use your pew bows from the ceremony to attach around at
the edge of the table and drape over the side.
To dress up the table itself, you can scatter
Rose Petals around it. This looks
particularly good if rose petals are also scattered over your cake. You can
scatter loose flowers rather than rose petals if you wish. You may also want to
add more tulle around the table itself by clouding the fabric to create the
effect of clouds.
Rose Votive candles and holders can also be used, provided that it does not
pose a fire hazard. Use silver or gold confetti to add some sparkle to the
table.
You can use props from the wedding to dress up the table. Display your
cake
knife and server, as well as your
toasting glasses. Decorate the table with
Mint Julep Cups and have the bridesmaids place their bouquets in each vase. The throw away
bouquet can be placed at the cake table as well.
If you have anything special for your wedding that you would like to display,
you may wish to display it at the cake table. For example,
frame your wedding
invitation and display it prominently.
If you have a certain theme, you can incorporate it into the cake table. For
example, if you have a
winter or
Christmas theme, scatter fake snow around the
table and decorate the area around the cake with small Christmas ornaments. For
an autumn wedding, scatter small pumpkins around the table.
