Sometimes you might be just looking for a minimalist look. If that is the case, we recommend using the mini cupcake stands. The stands can be made from metal, wood, or clay and can only hold a single cupcake. Being small means transporting them is easy and can easily be set up in different configurations to form a beautiful display.

8. Mason Jar Display

We recommend this for those who want an outdoor or rustic wedding. As the display name suggests, go ahead to put the cupcakes in the mason jars. The jars are then decorated with a burlap ribbon or even twine. Arrange the jars on a wooden board or crate to complete the beautiful rustic look of the cupcake display.
