Dessert Tables

Has anyone else noticed that the new thing for parties and weddings seems to be elaborately decorated dessert tables? The craze seems to have developed out of the States. They certainly look beautiful!

There seem to be a few very important components to these tables... firstly they consist of all things sweet and must be impeccably styled with lots of glass lolly jars!

Next little glass bottles for milk or soda drinks with stripy straws! After a quick scan The Little Big Company appear to have the cheapest bottles on offer at $1.95 each. Straws are around $0.50 each, in packs of 10 or 20.

Thirdly, labels, labels, labels, labels!! Very important for these to be printed and personalised! Style Me Gorgeous offer a graphic design service, and design your tags, banners, labels, invites, etc and then return you a file to print at your local printer. They charge $20 for invites and $90 for a complete party decor pack.




And its a must to include the very trendy "cookie pops". These are all the go for US dessert tables! They consist of mashed up cake with icing that are formed into balls, covered in icing and decorated. If you wanted to know how to make them and find decorating inspiration you can see more at www.bakerella.com.


And personalised wrapped chocolates for which you may need the The Little Big Company graphic design services!


I don't know what they cost to have a professional stylist come and prepare for you... I intend to find out and will come back to you! All the photos on this post come from Sweet Style, who sell some of the products as well as providing the dessert table service.
