Ah, that word "wedding" is sweet for any girl's ear. All girls, without exception, from early childhood dream of how their celebration will take place. They present their dress, veil, hairstyle and bouquet in detail. They know exactly how many guests will be invited, where the banquet will be held and what the sweet table for the wedding will be like. Only one detail remains uncaptured by the young fiery imagination - what will be the groom.

And now, time passes, the missing link (groom) is finally found, and the girl from dreams goes to business. And there are enough things to do in the period of preparation for the wedding, you need to think over and prepare everything, because on the decisive day everything should go without a hitch.

The first thing you need to honestly and impartially decide is the budget of the event. This is the first and only action of "addition" in the matter of organizing a wedding. Then only “subtraction” will go: a dress, a suit, rings, a car, a photographer, and, finally, a banquet with a change of dishes, an indispensable attribute of which is a sweet table.

It is customary to serve a lot of food and drinks at a wedding, and the dessert component is notshould be an exception here. Recently, candy bars, or sweet tables, speaking in Russian, have come into fashion. This is a dedicated area dedicated exclusively to desserts. It doesn't have to be a table. It can be a rack, cabinet, ladder or cart. Here you need to focus on the overall design of the wedding dinner, its style and color scheme. But one rule must be strictly observed: the sweet table for the wedding must be plentiful, appetizing and beautiful. It can be based on any sweets, from homemade pies and cookies to gourmet cakes and exclusive sweets from the best chocolatiers. It all depends on the original amount. But whatever it is, there should be a lot of it (7-10 types of sweets, 2-3 kg of each type). You need to focus not on the number of guests (although this, of course, also needs to be taken into account), but on the general appearance of the sweet corner, which should look like a showcase of a good pastry shop.

In the design of the candy bar, you should use whatnots, shelves or coasters in order to place treats at different height levels. This is done, firstly, for the convenience of the guests, and, secondly, so the sweet table for the wedding (see photos above and below) looks more advantageous.

Special attention should be paid to the containers in which desserts will be served. If it's soft brownies or cake slices, be sure to wrap them in a wrapper or paper basket so guests can pick them up and put them in their mouths without having to carry around a plate and fork. If offeredsweets, dried fruits, nuts or other small hard items, distribute them in transparent vases or special jars so that they are easy to see and easy to get. Warm approval from the guests will be caused by such an initiative of the organizers as laying out small closed bags on the table, in which you can take your favorite delicacy home.

The design of a sweet table for a wedding should be thought out to the smallest detail: a backdrop, a tablecloth, napkins, containers for desserts - everything should be designed in the same style and “branded” wedding colors. It would be useful to add compositions of fresh flowers, bright pictures or cards with the names of treats.

A wedding is one of those events where fashion goes hand in hand with tradition. And one of them says: without a festive cake, a sweet table is unthinkable. Cakes of various configurations are prepared for the wedding: one-, two- and three-story, with figurines, inscriptions, as well as decorations in the form of flowers and rings. The newlyweds take a knife together, cut the cake into pieces, then distribute them to their parents and guests. This is always a touching and solemn moment when all eyes and lenses are turned on the heroes of the occasion, so the choice of a cake must be taken seriously so as not to blush when looking at memorable photos.
