Cake Swords Knives

The use of Swords at a wedding is a very old tradition dating back to Roman times.  Today the Wedding cake sword symbolises strength, courage, bravery and honesty.

 

The Wedding cake cutting represents the first activity you will perform as a couple, which makes this a very significant moment.  Often keepsakes are overlooked, stored away and perhaps forgotten but a Wedding cake Knife or Wedding Cake Sword can be used for a lifetime.  A Wedding Cake Sword is often kept as a symbol of a couple’s union and solidarity and many couples have their Wedding Cake knives engraved after their wedding with initial, names and the date of their big day.

 

The Bride and Groom hold the Wedding Cake Sword or Wedding Cake Knife together to cut the first piece of cake.  The hand of the groom is placed over the hand of the bride when cutting the Wedding cake to symbolise his support for her and her promise to take care of him and their family. The cake cutting also symbolises the couple’s desire to share everything in life together.  Wedding cake swords are not sharpened and primarily used for pictures of a very magical moment. Once the first slice of Wedding cake is cut the caterers will professionally cut and serve the cake tiers.
