 | When you think of wedding receptions, what is the one thing that they all usually have? A snowy frosted mountain topped with iced flowers and royally crowned with a wedding cake topper. We are talking about the wedding cake of course! Back in the day there were no beautifully decorated sweet confections, such as the ones we have these days in modern weddings. Instead, a loaf of bread was broken over the bride’s head to symbolize her fertility. Can you imagine picking crumbs out of your hair on your big day? |
As the bread evolved into today’s wedding cake, the symbolism of the cake and the cake cutting ceremony now represent the first joint act as a married couple, a commitment to provide for each other, and the sweet life ahead that they will share together as a unit.
Your wedding cake should taste absolutely delicious but it is not just dessert. It should be an integral part of the reception décor - a stunning centerpiece; so place it in a strategic location where all of your guests will surely see it. You can eve place it in the middle of the dance floor and then have it removed after the cake cutting ceremony. That way you’ll have room for your first dance as husband and wife. Or you can put your wedding cake in a corner with lights shining on it or have a small spotlight highlighting its splendor.
Just like the Statue of Liberty has its pedestal and the queen has her throne, so should your cake have something to stand upon that is worthy of holding such a beauty. Like a gorgeous frame that surrounds a lovely painting, the cake table should be decorated to complement the wonderful confection that it holds. Then just place a fancy wedding cake topper as a crown and you’ve got yourself a royal creation!
