Let It Snow Guest Dessert Feature

We have had an unseasonably warm weather in NYC this past week, but this table has made us ready for snow again. This party was styled by London based event planner Aimee Dunne to celebrate the arrival of Christmas.  We love the symmetry of the table. Sweet treats on the dessert table included macarons, cupcakes, chocolates from Selfridges, star shaped cookies and cake pops. So pretty. Scroll down for the vendor credits.

Falling for Autumn Guest Dessert Feature

We hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a wonderful time with our families and we’re already counting down the days until Thanksgiving next year. Even though we started sharing winter inspiration, we’re still not quite over the fall. We think this fall dessert table from Marie at Sweets Indeed is perfect to bookmark for next Thanksgiving. We LOVE how Marie used baking tins as vessels for the desserts.  Clever, right?  We also…

I thought I would share them…
