Create a welcoming entrance for guests by arranging sunflower hand fans tied with "Welcome" tags, in a galvanized tin vase. A wood sign bearing the phrase, "Dessert" is a lovely addition and sends a clear message to guests that this is where to find the sweet treats.

Fill sunflower favor boxes with your favorite candy, a truffle, a small soap or other token items for guests to take home. Tie each box with natural jute twine and add a thank you tag. Arrange the finished favor boxes in a metal serving tray with handles, and place on the second shelf of your ladder wedding display.

Cupcakes are a tasty way to add a decorative touch to a dessert tower like this one, on a wood ladder shelf. Place baked cupcakes into wood grain cupcake liners, and top with handmade toppers fashioned from wood skewers and felt sunflower embellishments. Display along with handmade sunflower toasting glasses wrapped with jute twine.
