wedding dessert display ideas

Whether you’ve chosen one or several wedding cakes, displaying them to advantage is an important point for wedding decor, especially if you are going to organize a sweets bar. You can place the cake on a glass table and add flowers or candles, make a floral arch behind your cake, or accentuate it with lights. If you have multiple cakes, you can place them on a stand one above another, put them on branches of a big tree piece, or even hang one above another.
I also love using vintage bookshelves, dressers and niches in the walls for displaying cakes, it looks very creative and won’t cost a pretty penny. Love is sweet, remind every your guest of it!

Food Truck

Not all wedding receptions are the same. From quick lunches to big formal affairs, the options for a reception are endless. To suit the differences of these events, you need personalized wedding desserts. For example, if you’re getting married next week and your wedding will have a food truck in the parking lot, your dessert table is going to be shorter and will feature unique desserts ideal for food trucks.
