A Table Cloth is not an Option !The wedding cake table must have some sort of a covering on it. The wedding cake table cloth is the primary base for the cake. It helps show off the cake. The table cloth lays on top of the table. The table skirting is attached to the sides of the table and hangs to the floor to hide the legs of the table. On this page, we are only concerned with covering the table. They come in several materials. The most popular are cloth, paper and plastic. Cloth looks more elegant and there’s no chance of tearing. Paper and plastic are convenient and can be thrown away when you’re done - no washing. Most reception halls use cloth or linen. Wedding tablecloths come in many colors. White is the most popular. You may want colored linens to go with the theme of the wedding. That doesn’t mean your cake table has to be the same color. You could use an accent color or just plain white. Whatever the color, make sure it will complement your cake. Another alternative to linen is grass mats or palm leaves for a tropical wedding. A bed of leaves for a fall wedding. White sparkly cotton for a winter wedding. Sandpaper for a beach themed wedding. Just have some sort of covering on the cake table.
As you can see in the picture, this table was covered with a white cloth and then ribbons were placed woven over the top of it. The colors represented the bridesmaids dresses. This is an unusual and unique way to cover a wedding cake table. A lot of black ribbon was used to blend in with the cake. Use your imagination to create a unique wedding cake tablecloth for your cake. Getting a wedding cake e-book can spark many ideas. Looking at all the pictures will help you create a beautiful table cloth base for your cake.
