You & Your Wedding

Can you even imagine a wedding without any cake? This occurrence can be likened to bread with no butter, or cookies without milk. A wedding is simply not complete without the bride and the groom approaching the layered cake and together, using an ornate, ribboned knife, cut the cake that is a symbol of prosperity and wealth in the marriage. The actual act of slicing the cake is also symbolic, where it implies that the groom and the bride vows to share everything in their life and that they are starting their wedding with something sweet and will work hard to keep it that way. After the first bite, confetti will be showered, rice will be thrown, wine will be sipped and glasses will be clanged to signal a kiss. The remainder of the cake will then be cut and distributed to the guests, symbolizing that they are sharing in the prosperity of the couple. Now can you even imagine a wedding without this part of the reception ceremony? Not quite.

So now you have found that ideal cake, how about you now consider an elegant stand to accentuate it and complete its look? Silver wedding cake stands not only look good but they also make a statement.

Your choices

Cakes stands come in various shapes and sizes, the most popular of them being the one that carries a wedding cake that is three tiers high. These stands are generally round or square in shape depending on the cake. Silver wedding cake stands have the tiers and cake held in place either by cake plates or pillars. If pillars are used they can be made of china as well depending on the style you decided to opt for. Apart from the tiered stands you will also find single stand in various shapes. Some of these silver stands also come with lovely engraving along the sides.

Choosing a stand for cakes that are made in a group arrangement

Shifting a little away from the traditional tiered wedding cake is the grouped cake. This kind of cake comprises of several little or not so little cakes that are places at various heights on separate stands and are arranged to form a presentation. Silver wedding cake stands are also available for such cakes.

Other options

While most Silver wedding cake stands tend to be decorative and ornate, there are subdued options as well. You will have no problem finding stands that have a classic look. If you decide to opt for a stand like this be sure that you consider its shape carefully as this is the only thing that the stand has to show for itself. As long as you ensure that the cake and the stand compliment each other you should be safe.

The wedding day is one of the most memorable days of life. For women, it’s a day where everything just has to be perfect. From the hair to the make up and the dress to the special wedding shoes putting in the final touch everything has to be just right. 

Generally though, wedding shoes are at the bottom of the list for most brides. The hair and make up along with the dress are the main causes of concern. Since choosing wedding shoes are left for the last minute, it may not always be as easy to find the perfect match. Since brides are the center of attraction on the wedding night, people will definitely be noticing your shoes. 

So what kind of wedding shoes should you go for? Well, if you haven’t worn heels before then your wedding night is not the right time to start experimenting. Let alone comfort, you will not even be able to walk down the aisle properly. You would be much better off going for a low heal or a satin ballerina slipper. 

It is preferable to purchase your wedding shoes early. It is best that you get it along with your wedding dress so that you can match it. In some cases you may have to take your shoes along with you to the tailor in order to get your dress hemmed accordingly. 

One thing to take into consideration is the embellishments that have been used to decorate your wedding dress. This is very important because if you pick up a rhinestone shoe for a pearl embellished dress then you will be totally mismatched. 

If you do go for heels on your weeding night make sure you break into them prior to the big day. It would be foolish to wait till the last moment because you will not be comfortable in your shoes if you are wearing them for the first time on the wedding night. 

Generally no groom would enjoy a bride taller than himself. So if you are going for heels keep your fiancé’s height in mind so that you don’t end up towering over him. If you have a long wedding dress then buying wedding shoes is one area where you can save money. This is because they will hardly be visible. Although this is one option that you can go for but most brides would not be comfortable in compromising on anything to do with dressing up. 

Traditionally wedding shoes have always been white and relatively simple. But times have definitely changed and today you have a wide range of styles and themes that you can go for. Stilettos, pumps, mules and kitten heels are not the only options you have. Amongst the contemporary themes that brides to be will be able to find these days are fairy tales, beach, outdoor garden and ethnic themed wedding shoes.
