There’s no stopping trends from taking over weddings—and that includes wedding wall decor! Time was when all you needed was a plain and simple backdrop and a few centerpieces, but today, getting married is a fun extravaganza of photo booths and dessert buffets, and possibilities for themes and motifs are mind-boggling! There’s always something new and innovative when it comes to wedding planning.
Which is why it isn’t surprising that the latest trend in wedding wall decor involves something we all enjoy just as much as seeing a couple declare their love: donuts! These sugary confections are being used as both dessert and wedding adornment, and it’s exciting to see all the different ways couples are pulling it off. A baker’s dozen of our favorites, below!
Make Your Wedding Wall Décor Special With Attractive Donut Walls
Weddings can be anything from relaxed, intimate gatherings to large and rowdy events. But one thing’s for sure: your wedding decor has to be on point. And today, it seems that nailing your wedding wall decor is concerned, you’ll be needing some help from everyone’s favorite dessert snack. Donuts as wedding wall decor is an ingenious idea, don’t you think? I remember walking up to a wall full of frosted donuts at a friend’s wedding and I was simply in awe—who knew that baked goods would have that much of an effect on me? I immediately saw the possibilities donuts bring to the whole wedding wall decor game! Keep reading for our recommendations on how to pull off making your own donut wall!
1. Hook-Happy
Here’s another original take on the usual donut wall: Using hooks to hold individual donuts in place. These hooks are easy to find at your hardware or craft store, and its simplicity lends a very homey, countryside vibe to your outdoor wedding.
2. Laid-back Wooden Wall
This has got to be the simplest wedding wall décor project ever! Dowels affixed on a large sheet of wooden paneling makes the perfect rustic donut wall. A few string lights, a festive set of balloons, and you’ve achieved that low-key (but delicious) look!
3. Best Donut Ever
How cute and kitschy is this? This would be the perfect style of donut wall for a quirky and fun-loving couple. Heck, I would even take it further by lighting up the letters with small bulbs—how’s that for a cute couple DIY project?

4. Fall-Themed Donut Wall
Getting married this season? Evoke fall’s finest with a wedding wall décor stocked full of donuts with cinnamon, apple-pie, or pumpkin spice flavoring. Now all you need is some cider and you have yourself a harvest-season feast!
5. Chalkboards and Calligraphy
Cute and pretty wedding signage is a staple in every wedding, so of course your donut wall should have the classic chalkboard-and-calligraphy combo, too! The stark white pegboard used in this wedding wall décor really makes the signage and the brightly-colored donuts pop!
6. Shabby-Chic Set-Up
An old dresser makes a great dessert buffet table, and a wooden frame lined with burlap or linen provides the best wedding wall décor to complete the setup. A few floral accents and you have the chicest donut dessert table your guests have ever seen!
7. Dessert Buffet Backdrop
The donut wall is just the beginning! Make your wedding wall décor the backdrop of your dessert station. Guests will love lingering over the mouth-watering confections, all ready to be shared on Instagram (and with each other).
8. Rustic Ledges
Not a fan of dowels? A series of small ledges displaying the donuts in all of their gooey glory is just as visually arresting. Looking to nail the whole rustic, down-home vibe a bit more? That pair of mounted antlers is pure perfection.
9. Pastels and Flowers
This solid-colored board really makes the donuts stand out! Add in some complementary flower pieces and you have yourself a fresh tableau of flavorful donuts that looks almost too pretty to eat (but I’m sure your guests won’t be able to resist, anyway!)
10. Metallic Finish
How’s this for grand? You can’t go wrong with glitter! Well, maybe not glitter exactly, but this high-shine metallic finish on the pegboard certainly brings a very glam and luxe feel to your wedding wall décor. That cheeky pun printed at the top certainly adds an element of fun to it all, too!

11. Artsy Eclectic
I love how quirky and dreamy this looks! Why not make an artistic backdrop to show off your hipster, bohemian vibe? The bright colors and casual styling of the donuts just make them all the more inviting to eat!
12. Luxe Neutrals
How’s this for a classy yet casual dessert station? Neutral details like matte gold finishes and white ceramic cake stands highlight the luxurious and sophisticated feel of this event! Mix and match donut flavors that complement this neutral scheme (as if you needed an excuse to stock up on salted caramel and chocolate donuts, right?)
13. Bright White
White on a wedding is always a good idea! A simple white board houses a selection of delectable donuts, while the other simple accents make quite a cohesive vignette that welcomes your guests and warms their hearts.
I simply love it when couples get creative with their wedding wall decor! Here’s another great idea you can DIY, from simplymadewithlove. Watch the video here:
