1
00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:03,410
Our wall hanging looks
super cute hung on the wall,

2
00:00:03,410 --> 00:00:04,939
and there's no better
place to hang a wall

3
00:00:04,939 --> 00:00:07,160
hanging than above a dessert table.

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,500
So to complete our projects,
we're going to show you how

5
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:12,310
to style one of our favorite
parts of a wedding or event, which

6
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:13,910
is the dessert table.

7
00:00:13,910 --> 00:00:17,190
To start off with the dessert
table, you want a really nice linen.

8
00:00:17,190 --> 00:00:19,839
We chose the linen from
a local rental house.

9
00:00:19,839 --> 00:00:22,199
It's a really
beautiful, peachy tone.

10
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:25,059
It really complements the
colors we chose in our projects.

11
00:00:25,059 --> 00:00:27,300
The first thing that you want to
lay down on your dessert table

12
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:28,550
are your cakes.

13
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:31,730
I'm going to go ahead
and choose actually

14
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:37,250
the tallest cake that we have
here and lay that on the table.

15
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:41,070
I like to lay down the tallest
cake not necessarily in the center,

16
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:44,789
maybe just slightly off center, so
that way, some of these other cakes

17
00:00:44,789 --> 00:00:45,979
are going to complement it.

18
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:47,975
They're all in varying heights.

19
00:00:47,975 --> 00:00:55,109
So we have a lower cake stand and
then a medium-sized cake stand.

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,729
And now that they're
all on the table,

21
00:00:59,729 --> 00:01:03,070
I kind of like to just
move them around slightly,

22
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:05,140
give them a little space.

23
00:01:05,140 --> 00:01:09,040
So you can see, we also chose
a very different tassel here.

24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,280
It's an inverted tassel, and
you simply hot glue gold fringe

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,930
to the top of a barbecue skewer.

26
00:01:14,930 --> 00:01:16,230
It's super cute.

27
00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:18,680
The next layer is to add flowers.

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,349
And flowers are definitely my
favorite part of event decor.

29
00:01:22,349 --> 00:01:25,319
I love the natural
element that they add.

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,920
Here, we have just a
few bunches, just to add

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,840
an organic texture to the table.

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,870
We have lisianthus,
Blushing Bride-- this

33
00:01:33,870 --> 00:01:38,090
is a super special, beautiful
wedding flower-- and scabiosa.

34
00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:40,930
We chose these flowers
because they add just

35
00:01:40,930 --> 00:01:43,040
a soft complementary color palette.

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,290
We didn't use anything
super bright or vibrant,

37
00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:50,560
because we didn't want to detract
from the cakes themselves.

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,569
We're also going to
add a smaller vase.

39
00:01:53,569 --> 00:01:55,209
This one still needs
a little bit of work,

40
00:01:55,209 --> 00:01:58,170
but we can add those in to
the other side of the table,

41
00:01:58,170 --> 00:02:01,349
just to balance out the
height on this side.

42
00:02:01,349 --> 00:02:04,519
We have a few more flowers left.

43
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:09,069
We're going to trim these
down to fit into the bud vase.

44
00:02:09,069 --> 00:02:14,000
And the second one is just a
little more wily, and that's OK.

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,719
We might need to grab a few flowers
from the larger arrangement,

46
00:02:17,719 --> 00:02:21,330
but there's plenty in
the back we can poach.

47
00:02:21,330 --> 00:02:23,599
Here's some really pretty
pink ones back here.

48
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,610
Pop it into the back
of our smaller vase.

49
00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:29,550
And we can always adjust
our flowers after the rest

50
00:02:29,550 --> 00:02:31,560
of that elements are on the table.

51
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,500
To complete the look,
we're going to add

52
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:38,770
our tassel napkins and
the vintage plates,

53
00:02:38,770 --> 00:02:41,900
as well as some vintage silverware.

54
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:43,889
These vintage plates and
the vintage silverware

55
00:02:43,889 --> 00:02:48,569
come from a local vintage rental
company, as well as the cake

56
00:02:48,569 --> 00:02:49,330
stands.

57
00:02:49,330 --> 00:02:51,960
And lots of cities have
vintage rental companies.

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,629
But if you're planning
a small event,

59
00:02:53,629 --> 00:02:55,439
you can also check
out thrift stores,

60
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:57,719
antique stores, Etsy, even eBay.

61
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,770
There's plenty of
resources online to find

62
00:03:00,770 --> 00:03:02,860
and build your own collection.

63
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:06,409
To add a little drama to your
table, you want to add votives.

64
00:03:06,409 --> 00:03:09,120
These are some great
mercury glass votives

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,782
that we've chosen that complement
the gold accents on our table.

66
00:03:14,782 --> 00:03:19,479
Just grab a couple more and just
pop those into different holes

67
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:21,300
that you see on your table.

68
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:24,610
And they're going to glow really
nicely once you light the candles.

69
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:28,780
You can also use your dessert
table to display your favors.

70
00:03:28,780 --> 00:03:30,979
You know your guests are going
to head to your dessert table,

71
00:03:30,979 --> 00:03:33,960
so if you want to make sure
they don't miss out on favors,

72
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,009
perfect place to put them.

73
00:03:36,009 --> 00:03:40,650
And they just add another little
design element to your set-up.

74
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:42,620
Every dessert table needs signage.

75
00:03:42,620 --> 00:03:46,879
We've chosen the signage here that
really mimics the tassel projects

76
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:48,409
that we've created for you.

77
00:03:48,409 --> 00:03:52,680
These tassels are made
out of gold Mylar,

78
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,969
and it's just a nice
modern and graphic touch

79
00:03:56,969 --> 00:03:58,009
to complete your table.

80
00:03:58,009 --> 00:04:01,650
Even though your guests know
it's a sweets table, it is nice.

81
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:02,949
It's a friendly reminder.

82
00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:06,409
And we're going to adhere
it with these little pins.

83
00:04:06,409 --> 00:04:08,930
The simple tassel we
showed you how to make

84
00:04:08,930 --> 00:04:11,080
was used to make all
of these projects,

85
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,060
and creates an awesome cohesive
thread through your next event.

86
00:04:14,060 --> 00:04:16,350
And believe me, once you
start making tassels,

87
00:04:16,350 --> 00:04:17,930
you're going to be
making tassels for days.

88
00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:19,019
Tassels on everything!

89
00:04:19,019 --> 00:04:20,454
