At Willow Creek Farm, A North Georgia Wedding Venue
In this blog, we will take a look at all you need to know to make a gorgeous dessert display that will wow guests and complement your over all wedding aesthetic. The first step is to decide on the dessert itself. You could choose the classic wedding cake, a small wedding cake and a sheet cake for cutting (great budget friendly option), cupcakes, mini desserts donut holes, cake pops, pies, cookies, the list goes on and on! If you are getting married at Willow Creek Farm, a wedding venue in the North Georgia Mountains, you might even choose to include the dessert us southerners like best, banana pudding of course!
You should put some thought into styling your dessert table so it will be as unique and beautiful as it is delicious. Whether your North Georgia wedding is formal and traditional or casual and whimsical, your next step is to decide on the perfect piece of furniture to showcase your treats!
Consider the size and shape of your cake and other desserts when selecting its setting. You will need room for more than just the sweets! You will need room for a cake knife set, dessert plates, flatware, napkins and decor plus extra room for the person cutting the cake to set out slices of cake for guests to pick up.
Also think about the aesthetic of your wedding in general . Is your design modern and sleek, whimsical and relaxed, or is it a nod to “Mountain Modern aesthetic of the reception space at Willow Creek Farm? You are in luck because we have different options for your cake table, something to suit every style! One of the most popular options for your cake table is our white antique buffet.
We love the buffet because it is a gorgeous antique and it’s the perfect size and style for a beautiful wedding cake. The antique buffet along with your dreamy wedding cake displayed on either our gold or silver wedding cake stand along with a few fresh flowers or maybe some greenery, lanterns or candles will make a swoon worthy dessert display. You may even be able to choose a smaller wedding cake and squeeze in some cupcakes or mini desserts like this fun couple did.
Also, the antique buffet is the perfect height for your cake table. We love the fact that the bride and groom are able to cut the cake without having to bend down to do the cutting. All in all, the antique buffet at Willow Creek Farm is a 10 out of 10!
But what if you can’t decide what you want to serve for dessert so you decide to offer up a little bit of this and a little bit of that? Maybe you really like cupcakes and mini cheesecakes but your fiancé is a cookie and pie guy. Hmm….. sounds like you need just a big ol wagon to hold all of that. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Our antique wagon is big enough to offer up all kinds of sugary goodness.
We love the Willow Creek Farm wagon because it’s BIG and it’s So Pretty! We can use our antique suitcases, trunks or wooden boxes to create different elevated platforms for your dessert displays and the final result will be Stunning and Dramatic! And if you decide you want to take all of those desserts out to the pavilion/dance floor for some late night munchies? You can just roll the whole wagon right out the front door! The third photos is just to show off my cute grandson because, well because that is what us grandmas do best.
Last but not least is our 4 ft. round table. We don’t see it used very often but it’s definitely a great choice if you want a simple classic design for your classic round tiered cake. You can cover this table with any of our tablecloths (or bring your own), add your beautiful cake to the center, accent with some fresh floral and candles and you have a classic wedding cake table that is sure to turn heads.
A well-styled cake table not only showcases your wedding cake but also enhances the overall aesthetic of your wedding. Whether adorned with fresh greenery and florals, a lantern or candles, or elevated fabrics, a thoughtfully designed cake table is a memorable detail that ties into your wedding theme and makes for stunning photographs.
Your wedding coordinator will most likely be there person adding all of the design elements to your dessert table so the design is something you will discuss together prior to your wedding day. With the right combination of elements, your wedding cake / dessert table will be just as sweet and memorable as the cake itself! Happy wedding planning from all of us at Willow Creek Farm. We can’t wait to host your beautiful and perfect day.
