Let’s Fly Guest Dessert Feature
This simple yet stylish dessert table was styled by Jayme from Jayme Marie Designs for her son’s vintage airplane birthday party. We love the chic black table against the red and aqua palette. Notice how the white on the vertical runner, cake, wall and beverages give the design a crisp look. It’s a major player in the design. We love the use of stripes as well. Sweet treats on the dessert table included chocolate and…
