    Ok ladies. I have a question only you can answer as other brides. As I am making my own beautiful milled wooden cupcake stand I think to myself - i could so keep woodworking and make some really gorgeous stands. And if I made stands so I could stay at home with my kids - what would the most liked colors be? Should I do basic ivory/white with a pearl, floral patterns, retro flowers??? and what colors do you think are best? Neutrals or should I do rich chocolates with deep ruby reds and champagne like mine is? (im doing a chic rose stencil pattern)

    So what colors should I be using if I wanted to make some stands and rent them locally? What do you think?

    thanks!

    I voted on option 3 because I think that would promote a more general use that just weddings, but be wedding appropriate for weddings at the same time.

    Don't do anything bland because it won't show up well in pictures.  The brighter the better.  That's what I found out in the pics I had from my wedding.  The beige tablecloth was just too blah.

    Honestly, I wouldn't pick any of these colors, but I probably WOULD buy a stand if I could pick the colors.

    Have you thought about custom stuff? Just have two or three stencil options, and a person submits the colors?

    yep have thought about it. dont have a prob doing it as it gives me stuff to do. Let me finish the one im working on and I will post it. then you can see my work and if you want one i can make it for ya.

    I did start painting mine today. I painted the base which is a soft creamy white. Then ive stenciled on some really chic roses in a mix or pearl ruby red and a darket red to give it depth. as that dries, tomorrow i will add in more earth tones. i think it looks great. fancy smancy said my kids lol
