dessert table at your wedding
Move over wedding cake, here comes the dessert table.
Nothing says yummy like a Donut Bar … the whole room smelled like one big ball of yeast, sugar and sweet deliciousness.
Our clients, Angie and Travis Wayne were excited about not having a traditional wedding cake at their reception, they love donuts.
We were thrilled with the idea!
If you are up for doing something different like this then be sure to keep these few tips in mind:
- Remember DISPLAY is where it is at …. this isn’t a picnic. Go for the upscale platters (you can reuse them at Thanksgiving), rent the vintage cake plateaus, go above and beyond.
- Use SIGNAGE to display what the dessert items are so people don’t get confused. (Hello food allergies)
- Remember LOGISTICS in planning. Where are you going to store all these pies or the ice cream? How will you keep it cold, warm, etc?
- Make sure someone is SERVING or a waitstaff is monitoring the table. You wouldn’t want your guests cutting their own slices of pie or scooping ice cream. This also keeps the guests from “grazing”. Definition: graz·ing/ˈgrāziNG/ – An clueless guest who picks up food off a platter on a catering table and proceeds to eat said food over other untouched and sanitary food. Please escort them from the premises.
- Make it PERSONAL. Imagine getting a baker to make your deceased grandmother’s special chocolate chip cookie. You could proudly display that AND include recipes to give out to your guests. Unless of course your grandmother’s recipe is top secret.
I’m not done looking at donuts…
Wow. My mouth is watering. Wouldn’t you love to have a Donut Bar? Any other ideas?

Boudoir photography. Intimate photography. Steamy photos. Everyone has a different name for it, but it all comes down to one thing.
Sizzling, yummy, sexy, classy photos of a beautiful woman.
This concept has been around a long time. My sister-in-law had hers taken waaaay back in the early 90′s. We teased her then, but she LOVES them now. It’s a permanent reminder of herself back in her prime (going to get an email for that comment).
For the few of you that don’t know what we’re talking about…. it’s an opportunity to take beautiful photos, like a model, that are tasteful, but sexy. Let’s just say. Thank God for professional makeup and Photoshop.
This is a perfect gift for your groom or husband on Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Earth Day, Groundhog’s Day…. you get the idea. They are going to love it. No matter what “day” it is.
We’re excited that more local photographers are doing this type of shooting her locally. Here’s a few to look at…
Matt with Matt Vickers Photography has his own unique style …
Andrea Walker takes beautiful photos with Walker Studio….
Don’t let the lingerie intimidate you. If that’s not your style, talk to your photographer. Tousled hair, professional makeup and a guy’s dress shirt.
Let YOUR OWN personality show through.
ps Thank you Matt and Andrea for the photos. BEAUTIFUL!
