Before we go ahead and tell you about all the incredible and unique dessert table ideas for your wedding day, here are some elements that you must consider before thinking of setting up a dessert table for your wedding day-

• When it comes to what kind of treats you can have on your wedding day dessert table, the sky’s the limit! From pies to brownies, to doughnuts, puddings- you just name it! All are welcome! Just remember, variety and novelty make a great dessert bar and amazing combination together!

• Don’t forget to take the season into account when considering the flavors and decor! Planning a fall wedding? Consider adding pumpkin pie and apple cobbler to the dessert menu! If you are thinking of a spring wedding, it will be a great idea to bring in pastel-hued macarons and decorate them with fresh and aromatic seasonal blooms!

• Always keep your dessert bar resonating with the theme of your wedding! If you are planning to have a bohemian wedding, consider a more artsy display dessert table! If a country wedding theme is more of your style, you can incorporate wooden elements for your dessert table wedding decor!

• To make your wedding dessert table display stand out, try incorporating bold visual elements like arranging the desserts in a bright color or pattern, or you can also consider adding the trendy signages and balloons too!

• Your wedding day dessert table can be multifunctional! Trying to turn your dessert display into a favor stand for your guests is definitely a great way to combine both a dessert display and party favors! Don’t forget to offer the to-go boxes!

• If you still want some traditional and authentic touch to your wedding day, you can serve your wedding cake along with an assortment of other desserts, even other cakes!

Now that you have been through every step of how you can add an incredible and extraordinary touch to your dessert table to make it the showstopper of your wedding day celebration, here are some of the unique dessert table ideas that will definitely make your wedding celebration a cut-above-the-rest celebration!

Add (cake) pops of color

If you are planning a holiday-themed wedding, adding a pinch of bright colors is always fun and incredible! Don’t make the touch of bright colors limited to your wedding decor only. In fact, bright colors are a fun way to draw attention to your dessert table, while the different types of cake pops are a great and best alternative to a smaller wedding cake! Incorporating bright colors to your cake pops will not only reflect your vibrant and colorful personality but will also leave all your wedding guests’ mouths wide open! You can consider bringing in different color combinations of cake pops like the pink and periwinkle shades or can allow it to resonate with your wedding day color too!

Vintage-glam dessert table with cupcakes, cake, and cookies

You can use gold, brass, and jeweled accents that feel just at home in a classic Hollywood style as they do today to make an outstanding dessert table for your wedding day!

Just keep one thing in mind that your wedding cake should be the focal point of your wedding dessert table, with the secondary desserts artfully encircling the main attraction. This kind of arrangement will look super-duper amazing in your wedding photos!

Trust us, serving mini desserts to your guests on the wedding day will offer them a taste of everything you have to offer them at your once-in-a-lifetime celebration! Another perk of having mini desserts at your dessert table is that your guests will be very much comfortable in grabbing one, plus they will get the chance to try more! Mini cupcakes, mini donuts, small cookies, mini pies, and tarts are some of the best mini desserts that you can add to your dessert table!

Bring in your theme wedding color

Just tie your wedding dessert table to your wedding color palette to have a flawless and uniform setting!

To have your wedding dessert table matching with your wedding color palette, all you have to do is ask your baker to use icing that perfectly matches with the decor color or even with your bridesmaids’ dresses! Or to keep things subtle yet elegant, a white wedding cake along with colorful accent desserts resonating with your wedding color palette will make the best of the ambiance!

Use wooden decor for a truly rustic wedding vibe

All the couples who are planning to host an outdoor rustic wedding with endless rustic vibes can consider using natural wood decor to adorn their wedding dessert table! You can try including wooden cake stands, wooden dessert displays, and some other wooden fixtures to decorate your wedding day dessert table! You can also have your wedding cake and other desserts resonating with the wooden color texture to complement the overall setting of your rustic wedding!

Serve your dessert in decorative & fancy glasses

You are the bride, and it’s your wedding day, you can get as creative as you want! And it’s time for you to show your creativity with your desserts too! If you have added sweet treats like mousse or ice cream, you can consider serving them in fancy glasses like shot glasses, martini glasses, coupe glassware, or can even bring a mixture of glasses for a mismatched look!

Offer desserts as your wedding favors

If your wedding guests have a sweet tooth, and you can possibly just double down on desserts, then you can also offer some kind of desserts as wedding favors to all your wedding guests! Sweet treats as wedding favors, something that your wedding guests will never forget till eternity! Don’t forget to offer the to-go bags so that all your wedding guests can pack for themselves a sweet snack for the ride home. This gesture of yours will definitely be utterly sweet and caring!

Considering that this is an event which you will look back at forever and will celebrate among friends and family for years to come, a wedding is a very special event. There is a lot of research that goes into planning and executing a wedding, and scrolling through Instagram, taking notes from your favorite wedding accounts is nothing less than research, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! While inspiration doesn’t have to be a direct representation of something, it can lead to similarly inspired or even better versions of the said inspiration, which is truly amazing when we think about it. It is fascinating to think that you never truly know how inspiration will result in. So it is important to keep in mind that while inspiration is a spark behind creativity, it is up to you what you make of the said spark, and where your special brand creativity takes it.

Out-of-the-Box Engagement Party Ideas and Inspirations

Sharing a monumental instance in your life with your close ones makes it all the more special. Studies show that having close connections not only makes you happier, but it also helps you to live a longer, happier, and more fulfilling life. Your inner circle of family and friends has witnessed all the highs and lows of your life and with such a high waltzing into your life, it’s only fair to have the close ones nearby to celebrate this day with the glory that this day calls for. While you can have a cozy intimate setting and celebrate your special day with a simple dinner, there are several other ways you can make your engagement party a raging success- the kind that people will not forget!

• Beach Party: What can be more perfect than the slated golden hour reflecting off the sea while your close friend and family meet up for a sunset bonfire on the beach. Add in s’mores opportunities in good measure, beach games, and some fancy tropical drinks. You can add in some live acoustic music to the music for the perfect bonfire vibes. Soak in the golden sun as you retell your compelling proposal story. As the sun goes down, let the sun pop up with the brightest of pinks and orange, as the bonfire takes the fire and cast an iridescent glow on everyone. This will be one engagement party that will forever be etched on your guests’ minds.

• Idyllic Train Ride: How about taking your friends and family on a fun whimsical ride? Imagine having your close ones on a short train ride through the countryside. Imagine an idyllic winding track through the rolling hills as you sit up cozy with your close ones, toasting your engagement. Fancy it up by bringing in the luxury appetizers. Do a bit of research and find yourself the perfect route and best novelty train to suit your purpose.

• Give Back: When all the joys of the world seem within your arms reach, the best thing you can do is give back! Not only is it in the lines of gratitude and sharing the joy, but it is also environmentally friendly when you are giving back to the planet. Think along the lines of ethically sourced food and decor done by local artisans. Give of scratch-off cards that donate to a charity or potted plants. Your heart will be full and happy by the end of the evening.

• Put Your Mask On: Leave the low-key for the novices and go for full-on drama! Infuse mystery into your engagement party by going for an elaborate, elegant masquerade ball in celebration of your engagement. Have your guests dressed to the max and be adorned with elaborate masks. The drama can also set the perfect mood for getting your ‘Save Your Dates’ clips shot by our engagement videographers. Win-win!

• Scavenger Hunt: Infuse fun into your engagement party by arranging a well-planned out scavenger hunt. This is the perfect way to get everybody in an interactive and spirited state of mind. Design a string of clues that will lead your guests from one relationship milestone of yours to another, with the final clue declaring your engagement. This will not get your friends and family in a competitive spirit and will have your guests talking for ages.

• Sail On: If you want to turn it on and do things the perfect way, with a luxurious undercurrent, invite your friends and family for a leisurely sunset sail. Imagine endless blue water, the sun on your shoulder as you all toast to your engagement. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed and the pressure is off. Hire a reputed caterer to keep the savories and bubbly, while you lay back and take the sun and the setting in.

The idea is to ensure that the guests present are the people who really have your best interest in their hearts. And as the day comes to an end, you feel like you have celebrated with people who truly care. And when they drive back home, there is a smile on their faces, matching the one in your face as you wrap the day up! There are so many engagement party ideas out there for you to get inspiration from.

The man who has your heart got down on his knee and asked you the question! Both of you said yes to being a plus one forever, saving each other a seat at every table, laughing at the same stories, and making new ones along the way.

It is surely an epiphany in itself, realizing you want to share your life with someone, and some would say it is a more monumental event than the wedding itself, and we would agree! Since you have made this sliding door decision of your life, there are many things you can do to celebrate your relationship away from the crowd before the wedding activities take over.

This is the ‘calm before the storm’, so enjoy it and make it perfect so you always look back at it with fond memories for years to come.

• Revisit and Relive: Take a winding trip down the memory lane with your fiance and acknowledge and revel on how far you have come. You can do an exclusive version of your first date together by booking the entire place for the evening and recreating the magic. Order the same dishes, wine, and dessert as you did on your first day and we guarantee you will feel the butterflies again. Add in some celebratory bubbly and voila! What better way to celebrate the day than going full circle?

• Spa Date: The next few months will be nothing short of crazy, so take this opportunity to slot in a spa date with your man into your planner. Book a luxurious day in the spa and head out with your fiance for a relaxing couple’s massage to melt all the chaos away. It will not only act as a pause button and let you soak in the peacefulness before the wedding planning starts but will also let you soak into each other’s exclusive presence. Add in a facial or a manicure to complete the spa session, sit back, sip your champagne and relax!

• Just-engaged Session: While that just-engaged glow is still working for you, get some pictures clicked with your fiance. Whether you want to take tons of adorable selfies, or go all out with a professional photographer, make sure you capture the spark in your eyes forever in photo squares. Bonus: Not only do these pictures make an adorable keepsake, but they will also be charming engagement announcements or save-the-dates.

• Take a Trip Together: Escape the world for a few days and bask in that new tingling feeling of being just engaged. Fly to a beachy location on the other side of the world or check in to a luxury hotel in the same city for a stay-cation- whatever your and your fiance’s schedule allow. You can also rent a yacht and sail through the water and soak in some sun while you unwind. Sneak in some quality time before the mayhem of wedding planning sets in. Also, it is an apt way of sealing the deal and getting a tiny taste of the honeymoon ahead!

• Host a Soiree: Happiness multiplies when shared with people who have nothing but good vibes for you. Have some of your closest people over and celebrate this momentous event with some exquisite champagne and finest of delicacies. Ensure this soiree has just the choicest of your inner circle, soak in the happy feeling of being around the people you cherish before you make a formal announcement!

Your day of engagement is one to be forever marked on the calendar and will hold special significance for years to come. Take time to breathe in, soak in the happiness, and stretch out that post-engagement bliss a little longer. We dare you to indulge a little before you declare your news. Enjoy before wedding preparations unfold!

Why is Investing in a Wedding Video Worth it?

A wedding day is potentially the most anticipated day of one’s life. It is a social declaration in front of everyone you hold close in your life, that you and your spouse are each other’s ride or dies, for as long as ‘forever’ lasts. It is a day you will want to live and relive for years to come! You will talk about this day whenever you make friends and are sitting together cozily, swapping stories. You will talk about this day when your grandkids are wrapped around your armchair, begging for the story to be retold for the umpteenth time. You will want to hold to those moments forever in your heart as your wrinkles grow deeper and the memories grow fainter.

And sometimes the photo squares in the album are not quite doing it, as they can only capture so much. However, a cinematic representation of the day went by can really transport you to the day, making it a memoir for you to revisit for decades to come. It can act as a time capsule, encapsulating your memories, your high points, and the cracking emotions in a perfect movie. It might cost you a little more to get a panoramic video made, but can you really put a price tag on memories? Let us go through some reasons why wedding videos are definitely a good investment:

• Play-by-play of the day: As witnessed by many married couples, the wedding day goes by very fast. Most people say their wedding day is a giant blur of activities and they don’t remember what went on exactly. Having a dedicated video acting as a reference point and a play-by-play of how the day went is just about perfect. It reminds you of the trivial details of the day which will make you smile in years to come. Investing in a wedding videographer lets you relive your special day, even when your memory fails you.

• People make a wedding: The guests of the wedding day are essentially the people who make the wedding a special event that it is. Seeing the friendly faces of your well-wishers will warm your heart and remind you how important these souls are in your life. As it is the close circle of people who make a wedding more special, having them forever captured in your wedding video will make you cherish them more.

• The promise encrypted: While the wedding might have a lot of moments to cherish, the most monumental one has to be the ceremony. As the vows are shared between the couple and the promise of forever is exchanged, the video will capture the slighted detail of the ceremony in exquisite details.

• Feel the feels: You are probably going to be moving through a wave of emotions on your wedding day, and what better way to capture that than to have it in a wedding video for years to come? Feel the jitters, the excitement, the love in your heart, and the thrill of the future ahead forever. You can add in your special touch to make your wedding video more representative of you. Many videographers have collections that you can choose from and personalize your wedding film accordingly

A wedding video is a ride back to the day it all happened, and it will forever be yours to revisit when you are feeling low, or reminiscent. There are so many talented wedding videographers out there who will weave your day in a perfect movie, give words so your feelings are articulated perfectly, and bring your day alive in vivid colors and elevated shots, as you and your partner star in your unique love story!
