Wedding Cake Stands That Don't Cost a Fortune

If you have begun planning your wedding you have probably discovered that there are a lot of details to think about and also a lot of items to fit into your budget. Sometime saving a little money here and there on the smaller details will make a difference when you add up the total cost of a wedding.
There are certainly some places where you can save a little money and still have the beautiful wedding of your dreams. If you have thought about what type of wedding cake you would like then you may have started to give some thought to the whole display of your cake. It does not matter if you are planning on a very basic layered cake or a fancier cascading cake with many separated tiers;

Here are a few places to start your search for a nice cake stand that does not cost a fortune. Stands that are made of glass, stainless steel or ceramic can be very beautiful and will often start at about $10.00 at department stores. If you like the look of wrought iron, you can find lovely stands that are also relatively inexpensive.
For those who can afford to spend a little bit more, there are many beautiful crystal cake stands available for under $50.00. When you are shopping online, you can compare similar models from different websites to get the best deals.
Another way to have beautiful display without a huge cost is to go with cupcakes at your reception. This idea is becoming more and more popular at weddings all over the world. Cupcake holders come in all shapes and sizes and many of them are very affordable.
Other ways to save some money on your cake display is to rent, borrow or even make your own cake stand. If you decide to create your own cake holder, keep in mind the style or theme of the rest of your wedding and make something that ties in nicely. You may have a friend or family member that is creative and can help you with this project.
With a little time and effort, you will be able to have the wedding cake display of your dreams, without spending a huge portion of your wedding budget.
