Oh, how I love a beautiful dessert bar. They are one of the biggest trends in weddings right now, and it’s easy to see why. One part sweet, one part fun, a dessert bar will enhance any party.
New York-based Event Planner Amy Atlas is the QUEEN of dessert bars. I’m sure you’ve seen her work before. Somehow she finds a way to hand-pick the most perfect, most coordinated, and most delicious candies and confections.
Designing a lovely dessert bar is harder than it looks. First, pick a simple color palette, then design the bar around one or two points of inspiration.

It is important to vary the heights of the elements on your table, while keeping the vessels and colors consistent.
Amy designed this Lavender Snowflake dessert bar for the Elegant Bride and the Wedding Library’s Wedding Event at the New York Palace. Take a break from work today and escape to Amy’s fabulous website and blog….she is the BEST at what she does!
