Dessert Table: 1950s French Garden

In the past, we've discussed dessert tables on chairs, dressers, and shelves. Today, I've got a dessert table on a piano to share. This 1950s fete,  shot by The Nichols and featured on Style Me Pretty, was inspired by French gardens of the time. The entire event is fabulously styled, and the dessert table's soft pink and peach hues stay true to the overall feel.

To stay true to their French theme, the couple chose a variety of macarons in different vessels, rather than mixing in cupcakes and candies of all kinds. By selecting a bunch of mismatched white and silver dishes, the table feels more organic than rigid and structured. You almost feel like these are pieces they've loving, carefully collected over time.

Doesn't the dessert table make a beautiful backdrop for the newlyweds?

I really love the simplicity of choosing only two desserts, cake and macarons, and contrasting that with ornate dishes and silver platters. The couple did such a wonderful job designing their French dessert table, er piano, that you'd never guess they were in Austin, Texas.

My favorite part of this design is the dusty rose background, which gives the entire room a beautiful glow. What's your favorite part?
