Choose the items that go on your dessert table carefully. Size, shape and color all matter. You could accentuate a particular shape, such as a circle and repeat it throughout the table, while keeping your colors consistent for a modern but whimsical look. Orderly, straight lines or circles translate to a modern look, while more eclectic choices generally result in an organic or traditional look. No matter which look you are going for, keep to your two or three chosen colors on your dessert table.

Be mindful to use items in each of your colors in groups of three or five around the table. Using Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers on your dessert table is an easy way to integrate pattern and color.
