10 New Orleans Louisiana Style Wedding Cake Pulls
Bring a cherished Southern tradition to your special day with these elegant wedding cake pulls! This timeless ceremony adds excitement and meaning to your reception celebration.
About the Cake Pull Tradition:
The cake pull ceremony is a beloved tradition dating back to Victorian times, particularly popular in Southern weddings. Before the cake is cut, ribbons are inserted between the cake layers with a charm attached to the end of each ribbon. Bridesmaids, close friends, or family members each select a ribbon and pull it from the cake to reveal their charm. Each charm carries a special meaning or prediction about the puller's future—such as love, prosperity, adventure, or good fortune.
This delightful moment creates anticipation, laughter, and memorable photos as each person discovers what their charm symbolizes. It's a wonderful way to honor your closest friends and family while adding a unique, interactive element to your wedding celebration.
What's Included:
This set includes 10 New Orleans-style silver color charms, each with its own special meaning, perfect for your bridal party and loved ones to enjoy this time-honored tradition.
They include one of each charm (10 total): OYSTER, PELICAN, MARDI GRAS MASK, CRAWFISH, ALLIGATOR, TRUMPET, FLEUR DE LIS, EIFFEL TOWER, DOUBLE HEARTS, and CHILI PEPPER as well as RIBBON, ORGANZA BAG and either one CARD or 10 CARDS with the charm meanings. You will need to choose one card or individual cards from the drop down menu. The meanings are in the last paragraph below. You DO NOT have to tie ribbons or print the card yourself. I do that for you.

All these charms will have the same color ribbon of your choice.
