We must admit that we love that most couples these days are opting for a full wedding dessert table rather than just a traditional wedding cake because it adds such a personal (and sweet) touch to the reception! It also allows couples to make the dessert/cake table a focal point of the reception decor and get creative with styling. Here are 9 of our favorite sweet and simple ways to make a big impact on your wedding dessert table.

After their plans for a beach wedding were disrupted by a natural disaster, Andrea and Erin relied on the wedding planning expertise of Laurel & Fey to recreate their dreams into a gorgeous Lombardi House wedding in just 3 months! Using a neutral palette of blush, grey, and cream with copper accents and handmade details, they transformed the quaint LA venue into a modern rustic fairytale location where they could relax, dance, and indulge in their favorite foods with their favorite people. Both brides killed the bridal style game in two totally unique yet equally elegant wedding gowns, sleek updos, and matching cream and blush bouquets created by Brass Fern House. Between the expert design, the heartfelt moments, and the creative eye of Lindsay Vann Photography who captured it all, this Lombardi House wedding will keep you smiling from beginning to end!
We had originally planned our wedding to take place in St. Thomas. However, Mother Nature had other plans. Just three months before our wedding date, two hurricanes devastated the US Virgin Islands, forcing us to relocate. With less than three months to replan an entire wedding, the most important thing to us was that our family and friends had the most amazing time.

Originally, our wedding was to take place on a beach where it would be sunny and 80 degrees at the time of the ceremony and reception. Changing the location to LA, where it was a bit on the chilly side at night, presented a slight challenge and I wasn’t exactly sure what the new vibe would necessarily be. Luckily, the overall design and colors didn’t need to change! We went with a modern rustic style and a neutral color palette of greys, cream, and a light blush along with copper accents. It went perfectly with the venue!
I think the best advice I can give would be to research wedding planners. Look at their website to get a sense of their style, speak to them on the phone, and read reviews before making the decision on who to go with. Find someone who you believe will be the best at depicting your style and transforming your vision into a reality.

Our entire day was a magnificent dream that came to life. It was perfect! Aside from marrying my love, the most memorable part of the day would have to be seeing all of our friends and family, under the night sky, dancing the night away. The stress of changing all travel arrangements and re-planning an entire wedding seemed to completely disappear. Having it all come together seamlessly (thanks to our wonderful wedding planner) and seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces made the day even that much more special.
Chic meets spontaneity in Payton and Kason’s Palm Springs elopement! These lovebirds wanted to keep things low key and fun and that’s exactly what they did. Not having a planned spot for their ceremony, they opted for poolside nuptials after following in love with their space at Hotel El Cid. After a quick pit stop at In-N-Out (when on the West Coast, am I right?), these two ran around the desert with Rachelle Davis Photography for some absolutely stunning bride and groom portraits. The night continued with cake, dancing, and a quick jump into the pool in full wedding attire. We love the relaxed yet excited vibes that are perfect for the California desert!
We did not exchange gifts, but we exchanged journals with letters to each other to read before we saw each other down the aisle!
I fell in love with a dress, and it kind of picked the vibe for us. Once I knew that it was the dress, I knew that we needed to do a desert/boho vibe.
We DIY’ed my flower arrangement. The moms and sisters went to a floral shop and bought some flowers + greenery and put an arrangement together the morning of!
I think it is so important to plan the day exactly how you want it. It is your day, there is no need to cater to the needs of your guests. They might remember it for a day, a week, or maybe even a year, but you will always remember it. Do all the things that you want to do, and don’t do things that you don’t want to do.. Don’t feel bad for saying no!
I would say the most memorable part of the day for our guests was either going to In-N-Out with the whole wedding party, or watching Kason and I jump in the pool at the end of our reception before our send off! For Kason and I, however, we would say that the whole day, the intimacy of the ceremony, and the spontaneity of the pictures and the day plans was what was most memorable for us.
It seriously could not have been any better working with our photographers. Rachelle and Beau are the best! They made everything so easy and so fun!

We actually did not choose a venue going into the wedding. We were planning on finding the perfect desert spot once we got to Palm Springs, but ended up falling in love with our AirBnB once we saw it.
