Oh yes, this post is about delectable dessert goodness! Specifically, it’s about my newfound love of sweets tables. If you’ve been flipping through wedding magazines and blogs with the same fervor as I have, then you could not have missed this fabulous addition to modern weddings. Here’s the concept: Take your standard wedding cake, switch out that small round table with a robust rectangle, add tasty pastries and candy within a color scheme, and voila! Instant sweets table.

Adding apothecary jars and footed platters adds height and dimension. I love the way this setup really focuses on the color palette in each dessert—talk about eye candy!

I love this bridal shower! It’s sparked my love of wedding-day balloons, but that’s another post…

I just love this! Even though there’s no cake, I love that it’s totally DIY, which means that I could totally put one together on my own without breaking the bank.

So it’s time to start brainstorming for what exactly is going on the red, white, and gray themed Bacon table (maybe some chocolate-covered bacon?!?). I can tell you these things for sure: a fantabulous cake, Red Vines, and those oh-so-yummy French macarons. I can’t help it—I had a macaron for the first time last fall and I simply can’t get enough! If I’m feeling crafty, I might even bake my own. Hmm, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, huh? If I go down that route, Maid of Honor Bacon will surely fill everyone in on my previous (unsuccessful) Christmas-cookie debacle and maybe warn guests away from my delectable table. Good thing I have until Sepetember to figure this out!

Would you try all the things at a sweets table, or would you rather have a goody bag to take some pieces home?
