WEDDING DESSERT BAR

LaFleur Magazine
A wedding dessert bar, complete with French macaroons etched in gold and dripping in modern, over-the-top glamour of the roaring 1920's era, will create a Great Gatsby wedding moment to remember.
A Gatsby-inspired wedding reception should display 1920's style. Whether styled with modern Art Deco detail or a timeless, understated glamour, the event should be dripping in extravagance. The roaring '20s era was notorious for passion, zest for life, and modern style from wardrobe to the entertainment.
A Gatsby-inspired dessert bar is just the added touch to turn a wedding into a fun and glamorous moment to remember. Serve individual dessert cups with sleek custards in shades of lime green, pastel purple, or blush pink. Have plenty of French macaroons with gold etching with the bride and grooms initials, the wedding date, or a cute xo to mark sweetness of the occasion. Display the towering wedding cake in the center of the bar and you are off!
Style a Modern Dessert Bar
A dessert bar adds unforgettable drama that lends to special edge and fun party atmosphere to your celebration.
DISPLAY
The first step will be to select the stand to display the dessert bar. Will you be displaying the wedding cake with individual desserts? Would you like to create a dramatic buffet with separate tiers of sugary goodness, or select a simple, vintage desk? The options are endless, however, the pieces of furniture selected as the bar display should coordinate with the overall theme of the big event. Find glass cake stands, mirrored boxes, chests or trays to display individual desserts in style. Vintage plates set on a vase, crates with silk fabric draping over for dramatic effect, or several pieces of antique china (such as small dessert plates) will display desserts in Gatsby-style.
WHAT TO SERVE
Individual desserts add extravagance to any event, especially if doused in colorful, sugary goodness and etched in gold xo's to celebrate the Gatsby love affair. Plan the dessert menu with your cake designer (who should have the know-how to create several dreamy treats), order specialty mousse or custard cups, French macaroons in light pinks, vanilla, mint green, or purple. Have gold etching added for extra flair. Small, chocolate cakes with elaborate frosting and detail, and specialty truffles are just a few ideas. Set the dessert bar next to the elaborate champagne tower for guests to enjoy while tasting their drinks.
DETAIL
Modern, glamorous detail should be a the top of the planning list. Strands of pearls, large plumes, a chandelier dripping in crystals, mirrored display boxes, mercury votives and vintage vases make great Gatsby display accents.
