If you’re a modern day bride or groom, congratulations! Weddings have evolved over the past decade into some of the most fun and engaging celebrations we’ve seen; imagination and creativity are being embraced like never before. We love to see couples express themselves, their lifestyle and taste through unique touches while still enjoying the traditions that matter most.
Dessert tables at weddings are a fantastic outlet for personal style to take center stage. While the customary presence of a wedding cake is still popular among couples, they’re also enhancing the dessert table with unexpected treats, from donuts and mini cupcakes, to cake pops, cookies, and even pies!
Our Rustic Wedding Pie Bar features a variety of sweet temptations, from full-sized pies, (like our Luscious Lavender Lemon Meringue) on pretty pedestals, to charming Cherry Pie Pops, and even miniature pies in Hand-Stamped Wood Favor Boxes. We designed our display in a palette of red, mint, and black with a neutral colored background. Of course, you can modify the colors to match your personal preference, as well as the pie flavors! 
Selecting a Color Palette When planning our display we channeled the classic colors of a barn in the country, or a county fair. We wanted the warmth of browns, but didn't want to wash out our display with neutrals. We used red and black to contrast against the brown tones, as well as compliment our fruit pies and blackboards. When working with any color palette, many designers like to begin with a neutral base color; then add two main colors, and often, a third pop of color in small doses to accent the design. In this case, we selected mint green in small touches. This detail gives a modern touch to our Pie Bar. Creating a Beautiful Backdrop Wood plank paper creates a photorealistic backdrop for the table, and photographs beautifully; just like a real wood plank wall. Layer in our DIY Ruffled Burlap Ribbon Streamers and hanging tissue fans to get a multidimensional look that will showcase your dessert display with class. 
Hand Lettering Enhancements Chalkboards are a classic wedding trend that stands the test of time. Hand lettered mini boards display the pie flavor menu and add a handmade touch to the presentation. The black background of the boards perfectly blends with the palette. Best of all, they can be erased and used again and again when the celebration is complete. 
Tasty Treats This Pie Bar boasts a decadent selection of scrumptious pastry confections. A Wedding Pie Bar wouldn't be complete without Classic Apple Pie, but we also added a mouthwatering Blueberry Pie, a Coconut Creme Tart, Charming Cherry Pie Pops, Miniature Pecan Pies, and our unconventional and elegant Luscious Lavender-Lemon Meringue Pie. 
Darling Display Pieces Pedestals, fluted plates, and wood crates combine well for this table theme. We even created a quick and simple DIY Tiered Wooden Tray to show off some of the tasty treats. It's a cinch to make and adds necessary elevation to the dessert tablescape, giving it a designer look that will wow your wedding guests. The tray works well with other desserts, and can even be painted or lined with patterned papers for a totally different look. 
Mini Desserts: A guaranteed crowd pleaser Miniature desserts have grown in popularity for weddings, and tiny pies are an irresistible temptation! They're practically mess-free, need little to no refrigeration, are perfectly portioned, and can even be eaten without the need for dishes. They also happen to be incredibly cute! Our Charming Cherry Pie Pops look adorable displayed vertically, like lollipops, or layered on the table with guest place settings. 
Thanking Guests With Style Wedding favors are a fabulous way to thank your guests, and send them home with a meaningful memento. Edible favors take the sentiment a step further. We put these quaint pecan pies in small wooden boxes, hand stamped them with an initial, and wrapped them in bakers twine, adding eyelet tags that say "Thank you". The box protects the precious pastry for the ride home.. if guests can make it that far without taking a bite! Click here to get the full tutorial for our Hand Stamped Wooden Pie Favor Boxes. There you have it! A swoon-worthy wedding dessert display that's as easy as pie to create, and takes the cake! Errr.... Pie!
