Photos to Take with the Wedding Cake 🎂

When it comes to weddings, a big wedding cake is essential 🎂

In Japan, wedding cakes are often centered around ceremonies like the cake cutting and the first bite…

However, in Korea, it seems that there are occasions to take pictures with the cake besides just the rituals＊

Selecting a wedding cake with care is important, and it would be wonderful to capture many photos aside from the rituals ♡

Here are some of the types of photos you can take with the wedding cake＊

Although it’s a fake cake...

The groom is holding the wedding cake while the bride holds champagne, capturing a fun moment ♡

Without a cake stand, the bride's dress is also clearly visible, so I would love to capture this kind of photo if permission is granted to hold the cake＊

It’s also okay to prepare a cake for pre-wedding photos.

Taking pictures with guests centered around the cake like this is splendid ♡

(Since real wedding cakes may melt, I don't think they will be left on-site for too long in Japan, so it's essential to confirm with the planner whether there's enough time for taking photos!)

In Japan, the cake cutting often happens immediately when the cake is brought out, but it would be nice to take a moment like this for a photoshoot ♡

Have you ever noticed the "height of the stand" during the cake cutting...?

I think the typical cake stand is roughly at the height of the bride and groom’s waists, but in Korea, there are places that use surprisingly low stands!

I thought having a lower cake stand allows the design of the wedding dress to be appreciated lower down too ♡

Here is a taller cake stand, about at the height of the bride and groom’s waists 🎂

When the cake stand and wedding cake are high, the bride and groom's gazes are raised, making their faces more visible, which I find nice ♡

I hadn’t really thought about the height of the cake stand before, but if there is a preference, it might be good to specify it...!
