One of the biggest wedding trends is donuts.They're inexpensive, easy to modify, and fun.A donut wall is a great place to set up a donut bar or a photo shoot.Do not limit yourself to only serving donuts at the dessert table.They can be used as place settings and reception favors.Your guests will love the extra touches.
Step 1: To make the wall's backdrop, paint a large wooden board.
Pick a piece of plywood that is large enough to hold the donut wall.The standard size is 2 by 3 feet.Use a non-toxic food-safe paint to coat the board and let it dry completely.If you want to hang donuts from hooks, use pegboard instead of plywood.Paint the board bright colors like pink, yellow, or orange.The board can be painted gray, white, or black.
Step 2: Attach hooks to the donut wall.
Drill holes that are as wide as your dowels if you're attaching them to plywood.They must be drilled in rows that are at least 4 inches (10 cm) apart.If you used pegboard, make sure the hooks are at least 4 inches (10 cm) apart.Attach shelves to the wall if you don't want to hang donuts.
Step 3: The donut wall has a word painted on it.
Paint your names, wedding date, or phrase on the donut wall.If you don't like painting by hand, use a stencil.Use any of the phrases: love is sweet.You should treat yourself.A lot of love.You only need love and donuts.
Step 4: There is a banner that shows the donut flavors.
Guests can easily locate the donuts by writing the flavors on a banner above or below the wall.If you don't want to hang a banner, paint the donut flavors on the wall.If you only serve 1 flavor, you don't need to list it, but you might want to give allergy information to your guests.If you don't have enough space to list the donut flavors on the wall, you can write them on a board and put them next to it.
Step 5: The donut wall needs to be decorated.
Guests will most likely want to take pictures in front of your donut wall, so decorate the space around it as well.You could hang greenery or twinkle lights.There are balloons or streamers near the donut wall.It's important that the lighting is good near the wall.If the donut wall is in a dark corner, you may need to illuminate it with lamps or soft lighting.
Step 6: The donuts should be hung by type or color.
Do you want to hang them on the wall randomly or organize them?You can arrange the donuts by color, flavor, or design.You could hang rows of chocolate donuts or glazed donuts.
Step 7: If you're short on display space, arrange donuts on vertical dowels.
If you don't want to make your own stand, buy donut stands from most craft or party supply stores.Each display stand has a flat base.Each stack of donuts should be labeled with a single type of donut.If your donut stand is covered in chalkboard paint, you can write the flavors in chalk on the stand.
Step 8: You can offer your guests tiny treats by filling the glass cookie jars with donut holes.
You can fill each jar with different flavors of donut holes.Guests can serve themselves if you put out tongs next to the jar.You can display chocolate, glazed, plain, or pumpkin spice donut holes.Guests can make their own donut hole kebabs by setting out skewers.
Step 9: You can give your guests drinks by setting out glasses of milk with donuts.
Milk can be poured into glasses or bottles.The donut should be balanced on each glass or bottle.The donut should stay in place if you stick a straw through the hole.It's a good idea to offer chocolate milk to your guests as well.
Step 10: There is a cake stand with donuts on it.
If you don't want to serve a wedding cake, place donuts in a single layer on a large cake stand.A tower that narrows near the top can be made by stacking donuts.You can mix donut types and styles or stick with one type for a uniform look.
Step 11: To make a dessert table, fill a cabinet or case with donuts.
If you'll be serving a variety of desserts and want to showcase donuts in a special way, set up a small cabinet with glass doors.Leave the doors open to encourage guests to help themselves, if you Stack the donuts in the cabinet by type.You don't need a display case in a bakery.It's a good idea to use a beautiful vintage cabinet.
Step 12: The donuts should be arranged on the platter to make the centerpiece for the table.
Instead of filling reception tables with flowers, set out large platter with donuts.If you want to display donuts that match your color theme, you can choose donuts based on flavor.If your wedding colors are black and pale pink, set out chocolate donuts and pink glazed donuts.
Step 13: You can use donuts as place cards.
Setting a single donut on each guest's plate will create a fun atmosphere.Attach the place card to the top of the donut with a small metal object.There are donuts that match the color of the table decorations.If you have a rustic, woodsy theme, use donuts in different shades of green.
Step 14: Don't forget to add donuts to your wedding cake.
If you want a light-hearted wedding cake, place a few mini-donuts on each tier.To make a bolder donut display, ask the baker to stick full-sized donuts onto the sides of the cake.For a non-traditional wedding cake, place a small pile of mini-donuts on the top of a tiered cake.You can add flowers near the base by allowing frosting to trickle down the sides of each tier.
Step 15: Guests can take boxes of donuts as wedding favors.
It's a good idea to send your guests something sweet.You can package a small box of donuts for each guest or put a single donut in a bag.Attach a sticker with your wedding date on the favor.Encourage guests to take a favor when they leave the reception venue by setting out favors on a table.
