LOVE SO SWEET!

Following on from our 2011 Wedding Styles & Trends post I have decided to dedicate a full feature to dessert tables, I couldn’t resist…

2010 saw the emergence of sweet or candy stations, for 2011 the top wedding food trend is dessert buffets. If you’re looking for a focal point to get all your guests talking this is definitely for you. Your dessert table can reflect the style of your wedding, is it rustic, minimal or classic. Choose a centre point on the table to place your wedding cake and surrounded it with delicious treats. From cupcakes to french fancies and doughnuts to macaroons offer your favourite desserts. Whatever you choose to indulge in, make sure everything on your table is easy to access and don’t forget to label everything to. Consider backdrops and table cloth patterns and colours, dishes and cake stands, dessert tables can make a huge impression on your reception decor. Cover the table in lace, ribbon or surround your cakes with a sea of flowers. Consider the colours of the desserts and compliment your wedding pallet with coloured icing, fruits and toppings. Add decor to the table using bottles, candles or old picture frames for a vintage look or for a very “French” look display your treats on an old distressed dresser. For a a relaxed picnic look lay down chequered blankets over a picnic table and tier the desserts using old bottle crates. The possibilities are endless. Delicious!
