How To Create an Eyecatching Dessert Table
Dessert tables add to the fun and uniqueness of each party and delights your guests with scrumptious treats as well. The next time you throw a birthday bash, bridal shower, or a Fourth of July party, why not try setting up a pretty dessert table to impress your guests? Here are three helpful tips to consider.
Start with a magnificent centerpiece
A beautifully designed cake is usually the dessert table's crowning glory, but cupcake towers have also been recent favorites because of their novelty. (There's also the overall convenience of having your guests just pick out a cupcake to eat instead of making them slice the cake into smaller pieces, which sometimes proves to be a tad bit messy.)
Dress your cake or cupcake tower up according to your party theme, but make sure you pay attention to the detail of the cake stand you use as well. When decorating for a kiddie party, it would be smart to avoid using crystal or porcelain as children can be a bit rowdy and could topple them over and break them. Plastic and wooden cake stands are easily available these days, and they could even add a bit of character to your dessert table.
Crystal and porcelain cake stands would be a better choice for weddings, or other formal functions such as corporate parties. Use it as it is, or add a simple detail like a pretty bow or colored stones underneath it, and you're ready to go!
Color me pretty
You need not use the entire color palette to make your dessert table stand out; just choose a nice color scheme that would fit your theme and play around with it to achieve your desired effect. Red, white and blue would be the perfect color scheme for a Fourth of July celebration, for example, so come up with ways to incorporate these colors on your desserts.
Splash color onto your vanilla-white cupcake frosting with red and blue candy sprinkles, or serve red iced tea/cocktails with a blue and white striped straw. You can also serve star-shaped cookies with colored sugar frosting, and fill candy dishes or mason jars with red and blue gumballs. Colored utensils like cups, spoons and forks,as well as plates can also give your setting a nice touch.
Don't hesitate to accentuate
Nothing makes a party more enjoyable than a wonderful, well-thought of set of decors that help create the perfect ambiance for you and your guests, and you shouldn't forget to decorate your dessert table too!
Choose a simple table runner that will bring out the pretty colors of your dessert spread and accent the table with different objects according to your theme. A stuffed toy or other playthings, for example, would give a fun, playful vibe for a kiddie party, while dainty flowers and decorative candles may be used for a more romantic feel at a wedding party. Displaying your party favors in the same table is also a good idea, since guests can just easily take one souvenir after grabbing some dessert.
Whatever it is you choose to accent your dessert table with, just make sure that you don't do it excessively as to inconvenience your guests while they help themselves with the food. We don't want any accidents while we're having a good time!

Victorian Decor - Selecting the Perfect Table
One of the common places people bring Victorian décor into their home is in the dining room. After all, who can't envision a beautiful Victorian dining room chock full of amazing furniture and accents?
So, as you begin shopping the first thing you need to think about is the table you are going to choose which will be the centerpiece of the room. Here are some of the main features you need to be looking for in a Victorian table.
Curves
One of the things everyone loves about Victorian furniture is that it is chock full of sexy curves. Perhaps this is because this is a very feminine furniture style the creators decided on a lot of curves. Whatever the reason, classic Victorian tables are chock full of beautiful curves to accent all the lines of the piece. This could be in the form of curved legs that hold the table up to curved edges and even curved accents to really soften the overall impact of the table.
Flourishes
Another thing that makes a Victorian table stand out from other table types is the fact that the furniture piece is decorated with a number of flourishes. Keep in mind, Victorian furniture was named after Queen Victoria. So it should be no surprise that these pieces of furniture are very fancily decorated with sweeping flourishes and accents. When you are making furniture that is meant to pay homage to a queen you want to make sure it is as beautiful and decorative as you can to do that queen justice. No little extra or accent is too much for a Victorian dining table. Chances are you have seen many a Victorian table that has a display of beautiful roses carved right into the wood.
Ornate
In addition to the fancy look just of the base table material, a Victorian table may go well beyond this with ornate details. We are no longer talking about the carving of this type of table, but now we are talking the decorations like paint. Often many people think of stunning white furniture when it comes to Victorian décor. This is often the case and you may well find pieces that are striking in white. But then there are some that really appreciate the royal bloodline they come from and are accented with extra ornate details like gold gilding. Others have crystals, gems and other accents hand added to really take them to the next level.
When you begin shopping for a Victorian table for your dining room, take your time and really get to know what is out there. This table is going to be the centerpiece of this space and you want to make sure you choose carefully before you pick the one that you are going to design the rest of the room around. Once you find the right table, it will speak to you, and you'll know this is the starting point you need for your new dining space.
