You'll Want to Sit at the Dessert Table

Every bride wants their wedding to be fun and memorable for everyone.  With dessert table styling your wedding can appease every kind of sweet tooth while simultaneously adding a unique flair that is completely yours.

Staying within a design or color pattern can give a dessert table cohesion along with a very elegant look.

While still keeping the extravagant wedding cake, couples have added smaller sized desserts. Even though you do not want to overwhelm the guests with a million choices, a dessert table can be used to set your wedding apart from others by continuing a theme or presenting desserts in a new way.

One way to personalize a dessert table is to incorporate a childhood favorite dessert or perhaps something from your ethnic background. If the couple has ever traveled together a dessert from that region may be a great way to commemorate the trip while allowing your guests to partake in the experience. Dessert table styling is a way to tell a story while adding a scrumptious and stylish aspect to your wedding!

"All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt..."

The moment the bride and groom jointly cut the wedding cake is always a crowd pleaser. Once the photographer captures the moment, everyone knows the beautiful display of dessert will be taken away and then sliced for everyone to enjoy. Everyone loves sweets, so this tradition can never be a bad thing.

But what about adding to this tradition and expanding the menu a little bit? As someone who has quite a sweet tooth, I think the new found trend of serving candy alongside, or as a substitute for cake is a great idea. Kids will certainly grasp the concept, and placing goody bags alongside the treats will allow your guests to take a little something with them. Furthermore, all of the creativity couples put into the design of their cake can still be utilized in a table scape to display other dessert items.

Life is sweet, indeed.

This couple chose a carnival-like, old-fashioned style - I can see this at an outdoor wedding too.

Dessert Tables

I cannot help but to be completely obsessed with the dessert table craze! In fact, as I'm sorting through my pre-planning thought for an upcoming baby shower I plan to throw, I can't help but insist that a dessert table be a part of it. Although I've seen a ton of them for family cook-outs and kids' parties, I would love to see this incorporated more into the bridal realm. Check out the dessert tables I found on www.hostessblog.com:

Very feminine

A candy buffet

A more formal damask decor
