Wedding Bliss

The past 7 months as a newly married couple has been a whirlwind!

I finally had a moment today to go through all of our wedding
photos again and I couldn’t believe that I never shared our astonishing DIY/antique accented dessert
table display.

When we decided we were going to be married at a winery I immediately
knew I wanted a dessert table display using wine barrels. How I was going to do
this exactly I wasn’t sure, but I made it work!

My florist (also a family friend) found antique doors at The
Old Lucketts Store in Leesburg, VA.  We
used these as the table top for our cake displays. The winery we were married
at supplied the 3 barrels we used as our base.

Then we solicited the help of a family friend to cut a large
piece of wood and assembled the pieces into a tiered stand using PVC pipe. Once
completed, a finishing touch of polyurethane really made the stands shine
(literally J).
Willie and I covered the PVC by wrapping thick twine around the pipe and hot
gluing the ends. And voila! Beautiful, unique, rustic cake stands!

They definitely were the centerpiece of our wedding
reception room! Our guests absolutely loved it!

Many thanks to Cakes by Cathy Stewart and The Apple House
for the yummy treats to use on our display!!
