Wedding Cake Table Background Ideas....?
Our reception hall has plain light yellow walls, and we want our wedding cake to be the focal point. Our wedding planer suggested putting it in the center of the room under an arch covered in a real pretty vine, white a few white flowers on the top of the arch. (at the ceremony we are using white flowers w/ green accents)
I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions or have seen different things that sticks out in your mind, like creating a fabric or wood backdrop, or something.
Our colors are black, sage/kiwi, and white. And the room will be dimly lighted w/ a few chandeliers on and some uplights along the walls. It's a night reception. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Saundra - yes my mom and i both can sew - I thought about taking black fabric about 4 ft wide and dropping it straight from the ceiling to the floor. And putting our logo in kiwi green on it. I just haven't seen this done before. Has anyone else?
kk - thanks for posting my site! Those were some of my favorite weddings and backdrops for cakes.
Most of the time I do suggest my clients to put their wedding cakes in the middle of the room (it's the most expensive cake you'll ever buy....why stick it in the corner?).
However in some instances, it's not possible but we always try to create a focal point for it. EVERYONE talks about the cake the next day whether they eat it or not.
Suggestions: rent a small stage to elevate the cake (make sure there is enough room for you and the groom to stand on the stage to cut it). Be sure to skirt the legs at the bottom.
Use pin spots on the cake or look at your reception hall to see if they have lights that can point on the cake. Talk to your DJ maybe?
I'm personally not a fan of tulle. Or lattice. Go to WalMart or a fabric store and buy sheer fabric to use instead of tulle.
I love ribbon....create a ribbon backdrop. Be careful though; this idea can be deceivingly expensive...watch your costs on ribbon.
Use stands that can stretch fabric across...can you sew? This is a backdrop idea.
One thing that photographers like is something behind you when they take a picture.....that's why sometimes the cake in the middle is not your best option. It just depends on the room!
Good luck! saundra
