Weddings are like art and fashion… there are trends and eras and phases!!  It’s wonderful because we’re always thinking of something new to change it up.  Wedding cakes have always been around, but as Heidi says: “one day you’re in- and the NEXT YOU’RE OUT”!! 

Okay, so it might not be as cut throat as Project Runway… But when it comes to weddings, everyone wants theirs to be different than anyone else’s…  THIS is the new difference!!  I have not been to any weddings yet where multiple desserts were the classic Wedding Cake substitute.  However, on wedding blogs where people can post their “real life” weddings [not just photoshoots]- the up and coming rage is to have an adorable display that showcases all of your yummi desserts!!

Whether your wedding is victorian-simplistic [I’d go with the elegant pink arrangement with the cameos in frames], a rustic eco-friendly wedding [either the one right above, although it does have the paper circles- or the moss covered table with the big vase having branches jet out], OR an sweet eclectic feel [the desk or dressers covered in a variety of vases and stands]…. It doesn’t matter!! This new look can transform any simple table with a wedding cake- into part of the display!! It becomes a decor piece of it’s own!  And what most people don’t realize… Getting candy, purchasing cupcakes, and pies– this can all be WAY LESS expensive than a cake!! Cakes for weddings are sooo over priced…  Try something new that’ll save you money!!

At my wedding we did a candy bar [very common now…] as peoples favor.  Here is what it looked like:

Take the cliche – and turn it into something BEAUTIFUL!! Something people don’t see all the time… After all… Is that NOT what everyone wants for their own wedding?

Let me know if this is something you are considering!!  Tell me your ideas and what kind of treats you are wanting to display!!  Everyone can bounce ideas off each other!!
