Alright, so yesterday I missed my promised post about my DIY dessert plates!
Aren't they so cool? On Saturday I purchased a ton of glassware for only $1.50. Among the selection that I picked up were many many wine and champagne glasses!
I also found something else that I think is super awesome at this sale...and it was included in that price tag of $1.50!
It's a milk glass snack set! I am really in love with it...I think I'll use it to serve some kind of food at the reception, but I have to figure out what exactly :) I definitely plan to use it for every day after Dustin and I are married as well!
Alright, I'm totally sidetracked from my original posting purpose! Back to dessert stands!
So, these awesome dessert stands were what I had envisioned when I decided I wanted to have a dessert reception. They are so chic and elegant, and totally vintage! To purchase dessert stands like this online...expect to shell out a few bucks. The first thing that I found online that I actually kind of liked was $70...for ONE stinking stand!
I've been using a super ultra epoxy glue (It's E6000 that I bought 40% off at JoAnns last weekend) to glue the base of my wine/champagne glasses to the bottom of my plates. I have finished most of what I had purchased, but I have spent about $10 on everything I've done so far. If I had 6 of these stands, the retail price would be $420. I will probably need a little bit more for my stands...but I don't anticipate spending more than $20 total. Savings of $400? Yes please!
Alright, that's all for today folks! We are enjoying a GORGEOUS day in Wisconsin...I plan on enjoying some more 80 degree weather :D
Maybe use the snack trays for hors d’œuvre that need an accompaning dip such as mini-sausage and mustard.
ReplyDeleteHi Chelsea,
ReplyDeleteI was at a party and they had the dessert plates as centerpieces. Each plate had a different cake and it was announced to the guest that they should cut a piece of cake and trade with someone! It was a great way to get people to be social and get to know someone new.
I love reading your blog.
