Wedding Trends: Dessert Tables

July 24, 2014

The sweetest part of any wedding? The sweets table! The wedding cake is always a fun (and delicious) way to get creative but what’s even more fun is designing a whole dessert table for your guests to enjoy. Many couples are leaning toward serving a table full of different candies, cookies, and cupcakes rather than having a big wedding cake for everyone to share. This gives guests options and allows everyone to indulge in their favorite sweets!  Green Wedding Shoes features two different sweets tables that gave the design team at each wedding a great opportunity to enhance the décor of the room. The first picture shows a woodsy, rustic table with everything from chocolate covered pretzels to biscotti to lollipops! While the second table has a more tailored look with clean red and white lines, it gives the same variety with desserts like popcorn and strawberry tarts!

A sweets table is also a great way for a couple to make their day more personal. Last summer, former clients Corinne and Grant chose to serve some of their favorite pies for dessert! The best part was that the “cutting cake” was a tiered pie that they cut using Grant’s navy saber!

Along with serving homemade pies, this couple, featured on Green Wedding Shoes, served donuts for dessert to go along with their circus-themed wedding!
