Most weddings have cakes in their celebration. Cakes have always been a part of a wedding. They come in many shapes, sizes, styles and colors. They are personalized to the bride and groom’s taste and style. The wedding celebration is not complete without the wedding cake. Choosing a wedding cake is one of the fun activities for the bride and groom. Along with choosing the cake, another traditional wedding element is a special wedding cake server and knife set. These items may be purchased by the bride and groom or may be a gift from a friend, relative or member of the bridal party. These utensils come in many styles and types, which include sterling silver or pearl handles and may be decorated with ribbons or flowers in the wedding colors.
The wedding cake server sets may also have glass or crystal handles. Crystal looks very elegant, but can be somewhat expensive, as would sterling silver. Many fine crystal manufacturers such as Waterford, Swarovski, Baccarat and many others, as well as fine silver manufacturers, produce wedding cake server sets. These can sometimes coordinate with your crystal stemware and silver flatware patterns and may be used for your future entertaining as a married couple. Gold plated and silver plated servers are also quite elegant and less expensive. Perhaps you have a family heirloom set. One that has been passed down from generation to generation. Perhaps you will start a new family tradition by passing yours on to your children when they are married.
Wedding cake servers are easy to find in many varieties. They may be purchased in department stores, wedding specialty stores and upscale card and gift stores. However, they could simply be a stainless steel server modified and decorated to match your wedding theme. For example, shells for a beach wedding; pearls and crystals for a more formal wedding. These items may be engraved with the couple’s name and wedding date, which they will keep as a remembrance of their special day.
Decorating your wedding cake server sets is one way to personalize another element of your wedding. The servers may have similar decorations as the cake. For example, flowers, beads, etc. Ribbons and lace may be used as cheap wedding accessories to incorporate your wedding colors and motif.
If you have a wonderful wedding cake server set, you would proudly display it in your home. You can have it placed in a frame with a picture of you and your husband during the cake slicing ceremony. Whatever your server set is or how it is decorated, it will always be a good memory of your wedding day, plus a good story to tell your children and grandchildren. You may also choose to use it from time to time when entertaining and on your wedding anniversaries.
