Entertaining Inspiration: Tablescapes by Amy Atlas

Amy Atlas specializes in one thing, dessert tables, and she does it right. These are pure fantasy party looks with every detail just so. And, while we probably (definitely) wouldn't pull out all these stops for an at-home party, the inspiration and ideas are top-notch. Take a peek below and prepare to be wowed:

Above the Jump: A Mod Dessert Table

Details We Like: Color-coordinated treats and great looking serving pieces all in black

A Bridal Shower

A Wedding

A Birthday Party

Details We Like: The pink and red color combo, patterned paper letters and double stacked servers.

A Halloween Party

Details We Like: An edible centerpiece all done in sweet shades of green that shows off the shapes and sizes of vintage-y glassware.

Unspeakably gorgeous. And I don't even really like desserts that much.

Brava Amy! Cute and sweet design cues used appropriately here to stunning effect. Especially like the yellow table with art cake and the lollipop tree!

I am in love with the wedding table, and I am quite anti-pink. Great inspirations!

Bah humbug!

While very pretty, in a candy store display window kind of way, I basically think these tables go way too far in LOOKING special while the food (largely candy and petit fours, it looks like) would be inedible.

Give me the mixed colors of a lot of exquisite chocolate cookie bars, caramel treats, fruit tarts, small dishes of mousse... not the tasteless but colorful lemon slices, cupcakes that are 2/3 frosting, and color coordinated sugar crystal!

GORGEOUS.

:)

Would be better if the decor was made to match the food, as opposed to the other way 'round... the food itself doesn't look good.
