DIY: Dessert Table Planning

So you have a concept for a grand dessert table.  A magnificent plan.  Maybe you've even sketched it out, like I did.  But will it all fit?

Are you sure?

The last thing you want is to be surprised in the hours leading up to your big event.

To avoid just such a scenario, a couple weeks before the Cornish fairy party, I took all of the serving dishes and floral containers I intended to use, and played around with them until I had a solid plan.  Then I took pictures.


When it came time to set up, I knew I had a roadmap ready.  All decisions were made.  If necessary, I could show the picture to a friend and delegate the duty (this always comes in handy, no matter how early I think I'm starting).

It may take a little extra time, but it is so worth it for the peace of mind.
