For my final touches, I bought two different types of stretchy velvet fabric. For the dessert table backdrop, I covered two foam core boards in my silver velvet fabric and used a deeper sparkly grey velvet for my table cloth. I also used red tulle to line the back of my dessert table. Tulle is so inexpensive and versatile, my favorite dessert table fabric.

I put out fresh red roses, and two apothecary jars filled with grey and red candies (a great way to add color and height to your dessert table). Here's what my whole table looked like.
