Mouthwatering Ways to Display Doughnuts At A Wedding

Doughnut walls, doughnut cakes, doughnut bars and even doughnuts as wedding favors! Let’s explore these mouthwatering ways to display doughnuts at a wedding!

Discover the many ways to display doughnuts at a wedding! Iced coffee and donut bar for an outdoor wedding. You can do a hot chocolate and chocolate milk station with donuts instead.

All you need is love, and maybe a doughnut. Is there a better way to say “I want to spend the rest of my life with you” than to shove doughnuts into each other’s faces? Probably not. Forget cake. Forget pies and cupcakes. Forget everything you thought you knew about wedding desserts. Doughnuts bars and walls are the new wedding trend. Based on the pictures below, we’re not mad about it. Au contraire!! 🙂

Arguably the best part of this wedding trend is that doughnuts are inexpensive compared to fancily decorated cakes. Regular glazed yeast doughnuts cost $9/dozen on average. And much less than that at my local supermarket bakery. 😉 Not bad when you are trying to feed dessert to hundreds of people. If you are unimpressed by the price, think of all of the ways you can serve and display doughnuts at a wedding. They are a versatile addition to any celebration seeing as they can be displayed as a wall, tower, cake, or as a favor. Let us show you all the ways wedding doughnuts can impress (and please) your guests.

Doughnut Walls: The Next Big Thing At Weddings

A wall of doughnuts- that’s right. Sorry, brides. It’s going to be hard for you to be the center of attention with one of these around. Whether it’s a pegboard wall of doughnuts or a cute display of the bride and groom’s initials, can we all agree that these should be mandatory at weddings now?

Take advantage of some wooden shelves to accommodate your doughnuts for the most fabulous and rustic doughnut wall ever!

Take advantage of some wooden shelves to accommodate your doughnuts for the most fabulous and rustic doughnut wall ever. Perfect for the late night munchies and being the latest (and super affordable) rage in weddings, doughnut walls are a must on yours. You donut want to miss this!

Mouthwatering Ways To Display Doughnuts At A Wedding: Doughnut Bars

Don’t want to hang doughnuts on a wall for all to see? That’s ok. They are equally as delicious when served on a bar.

You can make an ode to doughnuts by building them into a tower. Pile them up with a ring toss or serve them with cute milk bottles and a straw or with plain delicious coffee. It will certainly warm up your guests tummies! Setup a doughnut stand next to the dance floor with lots of napkins to clean up the glazed sticky fingers to keep your guests energized.

We love the arrow shaped wood holding skewers of doughnut holes. Not to mention lovely glazes you can dip them in!

On top of that, doughnuts can keep fresh for up to two days at room temperature. Let’s start decorating!

And let’s not forget about those tiny bites of sugary heaven: doughnut holes. Like any sweets addict knows, you must not let any part of the doughnut go to waste. Pair them up with toppings and syrups and the wedding doughnut bar is complete!

Doughnut Wedding Cakes: Delicious, Stunning & Affordable!

Do you love doughnuts enough to make them the main event? While some brides use doughnut walls or bars as side decorations, other brides love doughnuts to give them the center stage. And why shouldn’t they? Anyone who’s attended a wedding has had enough cake and buttercream frosting to last a lifetime. Serving a wedding doughnut cake tower will make guests remember your wedding for years to come. They make cake doughnuts for a reason, people. And we can’t think of reason better than this.

Or maybe we can. They can match your wedding colors and wedding style because of their huge variety of flavors. Who wouldn’t want to indulge their sweet tooth in but flavors like strawberry peppercorn, chocolate with pretzel sprinkles, and sea salt and bourbon maple?

Donut cakes are becoming more and more popular for weddings! Match them to your theme with colored frosting. Photography: me photography.

Not only are these doughnut wedding cakes super memorable but they are more affordable too. When the national average cost of a wedding cake is US$466+ and if it’s in New York or California, we should be budgeting an average of US$1,200+ on the low end, this yummy alternative is appealing in more ways than one.

No matter how you choose to present them, you can be sure that serving doughnuts instead of a traditional cake will make your wedding just a little more memorable.

Doughnuts as Wedding Favors

We can even give out doughnuts as wedding favors. Is there anything more delicious and inexpensive than that? 🙂

Perhaps you don’t want to make doughnuts the center of attention at your wedding. That’s why doughnuts as wedding favors will be a “hole” in one. 🙂 Every guest will appreciate having a midnight snack. It will leave their sweet tooth satisfied as they drive home, especially for those that have danced the night away.

A wedding favor your guests will truly appreciate and won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Great for pictures too!!

French Wedding Ideas, Trending and Fabulously Chic

Check out these awesome French wedding ideas and say ‘oui oui!’ to this 2017 wedding trend!

So, what’s not to love about French weddings? Beautiful locations, all night partying and family and friends coming together over lots and lots of champagne.

Don’t you just love France? I mean really, who doesn’t… But having your wedding in France is a hassle and an outrageously expensive one to boot! That’s why we decided to help bring France to you! From Parisian style weddings to French country wedding theme all the way to the glamorous French Château wedding, French cuisine and a few French customs! Allons-y!

Some Typical French Wedding Traditions

Feel free to incorporate some of these French wedding usages and traditions for the extra French touch to your special day.

Switch your bridesmaids and best men for “temoins” or witnesses. This is a legal requirement for civil ceremonies which are the only way to be legally married in France. Religious ceremonies are optional.

This is a pretty cute French wedding tradition called “La noce”. Nowadays, the guests follow the couple’s car all about town making as much noise as possible.

If you want to stay within budget, adopt the cocktail reception o vin d’honneur tradition. Treat all your guests with mini-foods or canapés and drinks. The true reception dinner is held later just for family and for your closest friends.

Drageés or sugary coated almonds as wedding favors. Also a custom in Italy. A traditional treat of five white almonds symbolizing five wishes for the bride and groom. includes tag with traditional wedding wish: “Five sugared almonds for each guest to eat Reminds us that life is both bitter and sweet. Five wishes for the new husband and wife: Health, wealth, happiness, children, and long life!”

Onion soup or soupe a l’onion is at the core of French cuisine, no wonder that on the wedding day (wedding night is more accurate) it takes a special place. It is served in the early hours of the morning to help recover from a long night of partying, as French weddings tend to finish around 5-7am!

The Modern Romance of Parisian style weddings

To achieve a Parisian styled wedding the key is choosing romantic details. Keep it chic and simple, city-like and lovely vintage decor like distressed birdcages filled with fresh blooms for your centerpieces. To go the whole way on your Parisian-themed wedding, just any tableware won’t do. Make sure you use real silverware, as well as classic french porcelain plates! Add a touch of glam with flimsy gold fabrics and delicate chandeliers and voilá!

French Wedding Ideas: French Country Wedding Theme Decor

European elegance weaved in homespun comfort give birth to the rustic French wedding decor. The French Country wedding theme is soft and simple, elegant, sweet, warm, and loving. It has gorgeous details such as wooden reception tables, freshly cut flowers, olive branches natural burlap, large hurricane candles, tea lights, and signage calligraphed in French. Of course, you score bonus points if the venue has brick walls, red tiled roofs and old-style French furniture.

Glamorous French Château Weddings

If you are a bride that dreams of a fairytale wedding, nothing beats French Château weddings! If you want to incorporate this look into your wedding but are missing the Château, you can still add some details to make your fairytale come true. Decorate the backs of your chairs with bows, sashes, flowers, or faux jewels. Rich reds, gold and browns will enhance the warm and rustic look of a château-themed wedding. Think candlesticks, floral tapestries on walls or as table runners to finish the look.

French wedding delicacies: Madeleines, Macarons, and More!

I’m biased on this one, I must admit… I love madeleines, and if I could eat them every day you’d never see me out of the nearest bakery again! These delicious baked goods are absolutely essential to any French-themed wedding and they scream sophistication! And while you’re at it, make sure you serve macarons as well – this increasingly popular and delicious little treats are a staple for anything French-inspired!

A French Wedding Tradition: Champagne Fountains

Ohhh yes! No French wedding can officially hold that title without a champagne fountain. The champagne is poured into the top glass and from there fills all the glasses below. Avoid the flutes… Aside from being a logistical nightmare, they’re a relatively recent addition to the table. Opt instead for the classic, elegant and always reliable coupe glasses!

La fontaine à champagne or champagne tower. Whether planning a wedding in France or looking for French wedding ideas, our guide to top French wedding traditions will help you add you favorite French wedding touch.

French Wedding Ideas That Will Get You Hooked: Profiteroles o Croquembouche

Yes, yes, this could fit in the French baked goods recommendation above, but we felt this merited it’s very own honorable mention. If you’ve ever had a profiterole you’d know why! Those delicious little pastries are comparable to eclairs: drizzled in chocolate, these sweet dough balls are filled with either cheese or cream and are totally edible in one bite or less! You can even make a cake by piling them up on top of one another in a circular pyramid and then drizzling melted chocolate onto the entire thing. It’s the traditional French wedding cake and it’s guaranteed to get your guests hooked – so use with care!

Cheese and Charcuterie

Last but not least, this wouldn’t be a French event without an abundant variety of cheeses and meats. Instead of finger-foods and hors-d’oeuvres, go for a large platter of charcuterie. For some extra brownie points, try to pair the platter with corresponding wines – something even the snobbiest of Parisians will applaud you for!

I was at a friend’s wedding a few weeks ago, and when I walked into the reception hall, I noticed that they had huge flat-screen TVs adorning every corner of the room! It didn’t take long before I understood what they were for… Because within about 10 minutes, pictures of the guests kept popping up all over the place with the hashtag written on our wedding invites! What a brilliant idea!

16Childhood pictures. Still on theme with pictures here, but this one might be a little cuter! We highly recommend adding a picture of the bride and groom at the age corresponding with the table number assigned to the guests. In that way, each table shares in the telling of your unique story – as well as a few embarrassing haircuts! This also lessens the blandness of table numbers.

17An unconventional but totally awesome wedding idea is a piñata cake!

2017 Weddings: 10 Trends You Cannot Afford To Miss Out On

A new year is fast approaching and with it the new trends for 2017 weddings. Check out these wedding trend ideas because on 2017 you should let your personality shine in more ways than one!

Due to the tremendous success in readership of our 2016 wedding trends article we decided to pick 10 wedding trends you cannot afford to miss out on the 2017 wedding season! This list will help you find some wedding planning inspiration and it is by no means an exhaustive list. We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

1The Vintage Comeback

When it comes down to vintage weddings you are able to pick from both extremes: super romantic or ultra glam, as French-themed weddings and those inspired i the roaring ‘20s bring back a mix of vintage, romance and glam styles.

22017 Bridal Gown Trends

Layers of lace, British embroidery, bohemian flowers … The dresses of the season take on bohemian and vintage airs, as if imbued by a nostalgic desire for Hamiltonian romanticism, thus evoking young brides surrounded by fresh new blooms.

On the other hand, off-the-shoulder wedding dresses, ruffled skirts, champagne, lilac and blush wedding dresses, and plunging necklines dominated the bridal trends on the 2017 runways.

Therefore in 2017, brides can choose what suits them best. What kind of bride are you? Romantic or avant-garde?

The new Laura de Sagazan collection. Delicate tops in British embroidery with simple pristine skirts, flowing wedding dresses with backs stitched with lace, but also a short dresses Sixties inspired, worn with derbies for a small boyish touch.

32017 Weddings: French-Inspired Receptions

French-inspired and Cuban themed weddings are two lovely reception themes trending for 2017 weddings. The French theme will set the tone for 2017 weddings with its glam and romantic vintage touches in shades of blue, green and gold. To implement a French-inspired reception for your big day, choose from a sweet, romantic and modern Parisian motif, the luxury and elegance of a French Chateau or the simplicity of the French countryside. Oh, la! la!

4Cuban-Themed Weddings: A Refreshing Pop of Color

With so much foliage, green and fuchsia, it is not surprising that Cuban-themed weddings are another trend in 2017 weddings. Let this original, lush and cheerful wedding theme inspire you!

5Maid of Honor’s Dresses Will Stand Out On 2017 Weddings

This year we saw a big change on the traditional bridesmaid dress with the mismatched look. In 2017 we will see the MOH’s dress differ entirely from the rest of the ladies! Outdoor and daytime weddings now demand cotton fabrics with gingham or floral prints for a romantic look and luxurious brocades and lots of shine will accompany a glam or evening wedding on the MOH’s dress.

Mix and match bridesmaid dresses in tulle, beading, blush pink and champagne. Everything tied together with a common color theme.

6Goodbye Flowers! Hello Minimalistic Greenery!

A welcomed addition to weddings since foliage is way cheaper than flowers (especially if they are not in season) But this doesn’t mean that flowers disappear altogether from weddings, they just add a little touch of color onto the abundant greenery decor. Take advantage of this trend by leveraging ecological, French or Cuban weddings!! 🙂

Modern minimalist inspiration.

Foliage is the new flowers in 2017.

7Care For Our Planet with Sustainable Catering & Ecological Weddings

Ecological awareness on weddings has now gone far beyond wedding favors with plants or seeds. The wedding trend for 2017 gives way to sustainable catering and ecological events. Read all about implementing sustainable catering on your wedding on this article.

For a more ecological wedding leaf “Confetti” toss Use leaves as a natural, eco-friendly confetti that can also add a seasonal flair to your wedding exit.

8Breakfast Weddings: The Yummiest Of Them All!

It’s your wedding and if your favorite meal of the day is breakfast, go ahead and include it on your menu! We are seeing more and more couples incorporating donut cakes, piles of brownies, crepes and towers of macarons instead of the traditional wedding cake on today’s receptions. For those couples who plan on a courthouse wedding and get married early in the day, the 2017 trend of the brunch wedding is perfect. Economical, fun and intimate, the brunch wedding is a delicious (and budget-friendly) way to celebrate your love. Check it out!

Doughnuts can be served at your wedding, too! Choose your favorite flavors and decorate with flowers.

92017 Wedding Color Trends: Love The New Metallic Accents!

Metallics are not new but what changed this year is the metallic hue. Metallics no longer have the brightness of pure gold, they trend now is copper, pewter, brass and rose gold. Perfect for vintage and French-themed weddings. Although Pantone announces its color of the year in the month of December, there are many that forecast green Kale will be the chosen one. It actually makes a lot of sense since it has already been incorporated on many designer collections and is a perfect match with the themes on trend for 2017!

10Sayonara Social Media: The birth Of Unplugged Weddings

A little social media is not bad but a wedding’s intimate moments are meant for the couple, their family and friends. Needless to say, a social media invasion means that on every photo that your photographer takes there will be cell phones instead of your guests’ faces! And for couples who prefer social sharing during the reception but not at the religious ceremony, check out these sweet and printable Unplugged wedding signs. 😉
