Dessert Table: Airy Affair

Soft pinks bathed in beautiful sunlight? Yes, please! This inspiration shoot photographed by nbarrett photography is so light, bright, and airy that I melted a little when I saw the dessert spread.

Dessert Table: Vintage Ribbon Garland

Green Wedding Shoes featured this vintage-themed dessert table. The bride created a ribbon garland with framed pictures to create a personalized backdrop for the table.

Working with Sweet and Saucy, the couple selected a variety of cupcakes, fruit tarts, and other sweets to accompany their simple cake.

In today's 10 Days of Craftsmas post, I'll share another DIY project that would also make a lovely dessert table backdrop. So be sure to come back later today to see that project.

Sweet Floral Centerpiece

Event planner to the stars, Preston Bailey, shared this great floral centerpiece idea yesterday on his blog. Preston created a pretty floral pie for a Williams-Sonoma event.

Simply fill a ceramic pie dish with roses or any other berry-hued flower of your choice. Reds, blues, and plums would look great. If you don't already have one of these dishes, check discount retailers like TJ Maxx. You can also paint the outside of a plain white ceramic pie pan to match a golden crust. Using golden ribbon, create a crisscross pattern to mimic a lattice pie crust.  

Voila! You have an easy, fun centerpiece for your holiday meals.

Sweetopia Strikes Again!

I love Sweetopia! The owl cookies I posted for Halloween were adorable, and Marian's polar bears are just as cute. You have to marvel at her icing skill when you realize the cookies are an exact copy of the bears adorning this ribbon. I love their little red and green necklaces.

 

 

These are so perfect, I can barely stand it! Check out the recipe and other cookie tips here.
