If you’re wondering how to display cupcakes at a wedding, you’ve come to the right place. Cupcakes served instead of cake, or in addition to, are a big trend that continues to be popular for the 2021 wedding season. But many couples wonder how to display cupcakes properly so guests can easily take a cupcake without, ya know, knocking it all over. So, today we’re telling you where to find cupcake stands for wedding receptions so you know exactly where to place them for maximum effect. :)

Because without them, just imagine: cupcakes in a tower, or on a table flat, with frosting smushed when guests reach over to grab their favorite flavor or even worse, a tower of cupcakes tumbling down. Yikes!

Instead, it easy and inviting for guests by displaying wedding cupcakes on a durable cupcake stand. We have a few examples to show you today in three unique styles: rustic, modern, and elegant.

Then, we’ll show you how to display cupcakes with a small wedding cake at the top, perfect for your cake-cutting.

Let’s take a look!

After you’ve decided how you’ll display the cupcakes on a stand, you’ll need to add a few things: a cupcake sign to let guests know they can take one, cute plates, and of course, a cupcake flavors sign, if there is more than one type.
