This donut wall has a fairly rustic feel to it. You’ve got the greenery decorating the top of the wall and some lace around the side to make it fit with the wedding décor.
You can see that it’s being used in conjunction with the wedding cakes rather than instead of. Using a donut wall as part of your buffet is a great way to bring a bit of frivolity and fun to what is a fairly overlooked part of the wedding.
