White wedding tablecloths help your cake take center stage. Enhance the look of even the plainest wedding cake table with a crisp, white tablecloth. If your wedding has a color theme or if your cake design is simple, take the liberty of selecting a more extraordinary tablecloth or eye-catching runner.
Combining bunches of tulle within the folds of the tablecloth is another way to produce volume and give the wedding cake table an ethereal appearance.

Tips & Warnings
Obtain a wedding cake table with wheels. This will allow you to cut the cake in a prominent place and make it simple to keep the table out of the way during the busy reception.
Include glassware, glass beads and other shimmering objects to give the wedding cake table a glittering effect. Floating votives are another way to achieve this reflective look.
Avoid the danger of overdoing it. Too much wedding cake table design can look disorderly and detract from the prominence of the cakes.
Test the proximity of the candles to the cake by putting your hand between the two. If you can feel the heat, so can the icing on the cake. Move candles, lighting and other heat sources far enough away to avoid melting the icing.
