You will find one of my favorite things to decorate is buffet tables. They can add so much to an event's decor and hey, your gonna serve food anyway... why not make it attractive? Decorating Buffets or Buffetscapes (as we call it in the catering industry) is a very simple concept - present your food in an attractive manner.
One way to make your buffet table space do double or triple duty is by using vertical space -- go up! Tiered stands are perfect for holding your food and making it look good! Below are two of my favorite stands. One is a traditional tiered stand and the other uses both horizontal as well as vertical space but frees up space underneath it for complementary items like condiments.
Tiered stands allow you to add decor underneath them like greenery or flowering silk bushes to add character or re-introduce your theme in a unique and attractive manner.
My first choice is this stand:
It's different in that it's not the typical round tiered stand. It features a chrome rack and decorative glass platters for serving just about anything. The platters have sides so you don't have to worry about food falling off. It is $27.52 at Amazon. Click the following link for more specs and technical stuff:

My second favorite is due to my love of all things with BLING!
Set of Three White Iron and Glass Cake Stands
This is a set of 3, beaded dessert stands. This one is a bit more at $107.08 but you get three for the money and can use them individually or all together. I look at it as an investment. It can even be loaned it out to a friend or family wanting to snaz up their buffet for a wedding or other event.
Until Next time...
