Christmas Series: Desert Tables
My favorite part of hosting a chic party has to be the desert table. It’s fun, usually the center of attention + can be themed to match whatever occasion you’re wanting to create. In our case, we are celebrating Christmas (YAY) so I’ve shared some desert table inspiration in preparation for this holiday season.
Choose a (realistic) number of treats you’d like to serve – no need to overwhelm yourself! Less is usually more
Use decorative platters, cake trays + dessert stands to beautifully present your sweets
Add an element of fun by incorporating a Candy Bar (my personal favorite), perfect for kids + adults alike
Adding Christmas decor discussed here add the perfect finishing touches
Add colorful + descriptive tags
Customize your color palette to your party or event, pink is perfect for a girls afternoon of sweets + champagne

Create fun decor + Oscar-inspired focal points to have set up in your ‘viewing room’. Fill large glass containers with gold colored candies or saved wine corks. Create custom invites on evite.com or socializr.com to track RSVP’s, save paper + spread the word!
It’s the Oscars afterall, so break out the sparkling cava, brut, prosecco or champagne. Add frozen raspberries or straberry slices to give your beverages an esay cocktail-style upgrade
Chanel a luxe, elegant vibe + sophisticated ambiance with the same basics you’d use for any party
Serve fresh popcorn in custom bags + have a seasoning bar set up for your guests to choose any flavor of their preferred choice!
Must-haves: fresh cut flowers, real china (not paper plates!), stemware + napkins
Once the show is over, make your guests feel like VIPs with an end-of-the-night swag bag filled with inexpensive but fun freebies like packs of candy, lollipops, bubble wands, notepads etc.
Enjoy!
