The Food
Let guests dunk to their heart's content with an array of delicious cookie flavors! To create this look, line Mini Gold Suitcase Centerpieces with parchment paper and Large Paper Doilies. Download and print the free Cookie Bar Food Labels onto sticker paper. Cut out and adhere the stickers onto the paper doily to let your guests know what flavor cookie treat they want to reach for. To help hold the suitcase lids open, prop a Bamboo Skewer inside. Don't forget to add a set of Gold Tongs to each of the cases and Purple, Lilac or Gold Foil Polka Dot Treat Bags to hold the cookies.
Want to commemorate a special loved one? Include their cookie recipe in the mix. Reminiscent of the cookie jar at grandma's house, these Clear Cookie Jars with Lids are a great way to display the family's heirloom cookie recipes. Prop the jars up on an overturned Love Flower box to give your cookies the front and center treatment they deserve. Download the free Cookie Bar 4x6 or 5x7 Sign Printables and add them to an elegant frame to add just the right touch of glam.
Place ombre purple macarons on our Macaron Stand and then top with a tier of wedding cake. Decorate the top of the cake with fresh florals for color. Set the macaron stand on a Clear Footed Cake Stand to add extra height and interest to your food bar.
If one or both of you aren't fans of cake, try making a cookie cake instead! Lay cookies out in a circle on a clear Footed Cake Stand, making sure to also fill in the middle of the circle with cookies. Continue placing cookies on top of each other by staggering each row. For our 3-tier cookie cake we ended up using 10 packages of Oreo® Cookies so there would be plenty of cookies to go around. TIP: It's best to create this cookie 'cake' where you plan to display and serve it so it doesn't topple over when you transfer it.
Add an elegant touch to this otherwise playful cookie 'cake' with this Clear Crystal Garland. Cut the garland into pieces so it will be just long enough to barely dust the table. Attach the crystals to the rim of a clear Footed Cake Stand using Glue Dots®.
Tuck in a few small flowers to add a pop of color and then top it with a Mr. & Mrs Cake Topper.
The Favors
For those guests who want to bring the wedding celebration home with them, try making these easy Cookie Dough To-go favors.

Decorate the Snap Lid Bottle Favor Jars with a piece of purple satin ribbon and Gold Wax Thank You Stickers. Attach a Mini Silver Appetizer Plastic Spoon with a piece of Gold Washi Tape. Display the favors on a Silvertone Rectangular Serving Tray and don't forget to download the Cookie Food Bar Printables 4x6 or 5x7 Signs, Favor Tags and Food Labels.
Nothing goes together quite like milk and cookies. We placed both white and chocolate milk in vintage inspired glass Beverage Dispensers and placed them on top of Rustic Wood Centerpiece Risers. Hand letter the flavors of milk on the tops of these Standing Rustic Chalkboard Signs with a Fine Point Chalk Marker. Attach a length of Jute Cording to the back and hang the signs onto the beverage dispensers. Clear Glass Milk Bottles complete with Gold and Purple Striped Paper Straws are a great way to serve up this classic pairing. Milk and cookies for the win!
The Table
Add touches of both rustic and glam by accessorizing your Cookie Food Bar with Acrylic Crystal Bead Pedestal Candle Holders and a delicate lace tablecloth.
Fresh floral bouquets placed in Square Stained Wood Flower Box, Diamond Cut Pedestal Dish, and Plastic Bud Vases will add splashes of color throughout the table.
The DIY Chalkboard Votive Holders sprinkled throughout the food bar are as easy as a coat of paint and a bit of chalk. Simply spray paint our Frosted Wedding Votive Holders with chalkboard paint and wait for them to dry. Bring on the vintage vibe by rubbing on a bit of White Chalk.
Create the lovely handmade chalkboard backdrop by cutting a piece of Fadeless® Art Black Paper Roll to fit your space. Rub a piece of White Chalk all over the paper to create that worn and weathered look. Hang the paper on the wall and then edge it with two strips of solid Gold Foil Print Washi Tape. Use Clear Glue Dots® to adhere the Gold Love Calligraphy Sign to the bottom right corner of the background. Flank the background with two Crystal Chandeliers.
