Cake Stand

Hi all!   I'm having a May destination wedding and need a cake stand for a smaller cake (serves about 70).   I have looked in the area for rental stands and am floored by how much they cost, and it's even worse to purchase!   This is one area where I want to spend the least amount of money possible.   Does anyone in the NOLA area have one they want to resell or rent that I can pick up when I arrive?  (I'm in WI)  OR, does anyone know of a rental that's under $30.00?

Thanks for your help, ladies!

Re: Cake Stand

  • I don't have a coordinator.  I'm getting married at Latrobe's and so far the coordinator there has been very helpful, however they do not have one to rent.   I'm keeping an eye out at Hobby Lobby, but will check Home Goods as well!   I'll probably do a DIY stand if I have no luck elsewhere.  Thanks!
  • I know weddingsbylulu has one to rent.  I'm not sure how much it costs.  I didn't bother with a cake stand and honestly didn't miss it on my wedding day.  You could also purchase one and sell it when you are done.

    I'm not sure where this cake stand idea came from, as the first time I got married 14 years ago the cake just sat on the table and it was fine! But smaller cake this time at 50 servings so I feel like it may need a boost. I hate to buy anything here in OH and haul it down there at risk of it breaking, and some of the DIY projects look unstable. So I'm still not sure what I will do.
  • I am DIY one - just got the supplies at a thrift store. (I'm having a dessert bar so I need lots of cake stands and refused to spend $20/each)

  • We had a cake for 80 people and did not bother to use a stand. The world still turns, so I think it was ok :
