How to set up a sweets table:

Location is important


It’s important that your sweets table is accessible to your guests but you also don’t want it to be in the way. The last thing you want is people crowding around a table that makes it harder for other guests to get around.

The best location is preferably against a wall. Depending on your chosen venue it could also be a good idea to have this table in the entrance or canopy area.

Have a colour palette

One of the best ways to make a sweets table look gorgeous is to have a great colour palette. You can then incorporate sweets and decorations that match this to give it all a clean, fun and put together look. Pinks and whites are usually popular colours that will fit that wedding look.

Choose your sweets

When selecting your wedding sweets, try to have a variety for all of your guests to enjoy and incorporate chocolates and marshmallows as well as confectionery.

Cover the table

In order to make the display look amazing, you’ll want to cover the table with a cloth that ties in with your colour palette. This doesn’t have to be anything fancy, just something to help tie everything together.

How to lay out your sweets

So you’ve chosen your sweets, but how should you lay these out?

You’ll want to use things like mason jars and cake stands as a place for your goodies. This will also allow you to separate each of the products and group them together.

When it comes to organisation, channel the likes of Mrs Hinch and Stacey Solomon. Think of tables filled with colour coordinated displays in large glass jars, cones and bags for guests to marvel over. This can create not only a super tasty display but also a great photo moment!

Use height and depth

Make your sweets table look fun and busy by adding different dimensions - this is what is going to make your table look luxurious.

You can do this by having some larger mason jars as well as some smaller ones. Try getting different sizes cake stands too and create levels by using some boxes to prop up your sweets.

Add signs

Adding signs is completely optional but is also a fun way to add another element to your table.

To save on cash, you could print these off or buy small inexpensive chalkboard pieces and write the name of each sweet on there. Alternatively why not have one at the end of the table with a list of all of the goodies available to your guests.

If you want to skip on the little signs then why not get one large one and label it “Sweetie table” so your sweet-toothed guests know where to head.

Think about how your guests will eat them

Having a sweets table is great but how are your guests going to enjoy their confectionery? This is something you need to think about if you’re having things like pick n mix on your table.

One option is to get candy bags and place them at one end of the table for guests to fill up.

Add other accessories

If you want to jazz up the table even more, some other accessories you could include flowers and backdrops. But of course this is completely optional.
