Creative Ways to Display Your Wedding Cake

Are you stumped as to how you want to present your wedding cake? We have seen some incredible options in real weddings and inspiration shoots here on the blog and put them together for you to see! From swings to vanities you options are truly endless. We suggest finding a place that is central to your reception so that everyone can get a close look! Its also great if it can be somewhere with enough room around it to have everyone gather for the cake cutting! If you aren’t sure where it should go, ask your photographer if they have any preferences for how they plan to shoot the cutting of the cake. We love some of these with intricate backdrops just as much as we love the centrally located ones. Get creative and find a way to tie it into your larger theme. Here are some ideas to get you going!

This vintage pushcart was the perfect option for this wedding reception. We love the humble nature of the cart and how beautiful the cake looks rested on the top shelf. The extra vases below in the glass tray add just the perfect amount of embellishment!

This cake presentation is really one of the books! We love the hanging decor just as much as we love the combination of traditional and rustic elements on the sweets table. The wine barrel backdrop certainly doesn’t hurt either.

We love the combination of these tree stumps, antlers and burlap at this farm wedding. Its so rustic and yet allows the cakes to really shine in their simple perfection.

This vanity setup is so quaint and charming! It would be perfect for a farm wedding or even a backyard wedding.

The simplicity of this vintage suitcase setup is so appealing! The suitcases give it height while creating a more casual vibe that would be great for a backyard or barn wedding.

This kind of table would be easy to make with a reclaimed wood plank and two wine barrels. We love the repetition in shape and the rustic texture of the barrels.

You could also just use a single barrel as a cake stand. Every time we see this done we get excited all over again because it is such a great idea.

We love this cake veil that is made from a simple piece of tulle draped over a floral wedding cake topper. It adds a romantic touch to the cake and protects it in the event of an outdoor farm wedding crashed by unwanted critters.

This industrial swing cake stand is so perfect! You could make one yourself by hanging a plank with rope or chain from a ban rafter or a tree branch!

This traditional silver cake stand blew us away. Sometimes the classic tradition can really be the best idea, especially if the rest of your venue is very rustic, this allows your cake to stand out elegantly.
