Fall Wedding Cake Table Ideas
Tiered clear cake stand. Here is a cute idea for your fall wedding cake. Place your cake on the very top of the tiered glass cake stand. For this idea, you may want your cake to be one layer and smaller in size. On the bottom tiers, you can place cupcakes, donuts, or cookies. This way you can have a cake just for the bride and groom, and the rest for the guests.
Wood disc cake platter. Using a large wood disc as a cake platter is a great option for a rustic fall wedding. This platter would look great with a naked style cake, decorated with flowers and some greenery. A wood disc platter is great for a tiered or single layer cake.
Wood stump cake platter. This idea is similar to the one above. Instead of a flat disc, using a small wood stump is a great alternative to give a rustic look with more dimension. You could wrap the stump with burlap and lace, or have the stump engraved with the date or names.
Wooden barrel cake table. A rustic looking cake table would be to use a single wooden barrel. You could place a wood disc that holds the cake on top of the barrel. If this isn’t enough room, you could place a board across two wood barrels. Using burlap and lace to decorate the table is another rustic touch for your fall wedding.
