How to style a buffet table
Squeezing everyone around a dinner table can be tricky. How about serving a meal buffet-style instead?
After friends and family polish off your incredible sit-down Easter feast, surprise them with a gorgeously styled dessert buffet. A small table or sideboard is the perfect spot to display a variety of confections, such as cookies, cakes, macarons and squares. For this springtime tablescape, we selected sweets in a pastel palette and showed them off on pretty serving dishes and cake stands of different shapes, sizes and heights. The finishing touch? A beautiful arrangement of hydrangeas and berries.
