The days of one dessert are over. Dessert displays have become a wedding staple. And let’s be real – they are more fun.
The secret behind beautiful dessert tables: creating a display that wows is more complicated than it looks.

The Value of Professional Design

Choosing Your Dessert Table Concept
Before you buy a single cookie, you need a concept. What a good planner does: pick a concept that fits your venue and season.
Popular dessert table concepts: Rustic/chic – wood boards, mason jars, pies, cookies, brownies.
Your planner will ask: “What time of year and what temperature will the dessert table face?”

Selecting the Right Desserts for Your Table
Some treats are risky. Your wedding planner knows which treats survive and which melt.

Quantities: How Much Dessert Do You Really Need
Quantities are tricky. Running out of sweets is a guest letdown. Wasting food is unnecessary.
