Nowadays couples still take the route of the “traditional” wedding cake, but there are also lots of fun, creative, non-traditional dessert ideas to choose from as well. A bar of sweets is an easy way to impress your guests. Plus it is open to guests of all ages.

Trending Ideas Include:

A rustic wooden dessert stand with homemade tarts, a naked cake, and chocolate covered pears.

A pie-pop dessert stand and assorted cake pops.

A whimsical wooden tiered donut tower lined with apples and cider.

A dessert table featuring a small wedding cake and stacked macarons.

Vintage cookies and milk dessert bar.

A coffee bar or tea bar with assorted jars of teas on an antique dresser.

A frozen treat like shaved ice (think: retro snow cones) or fruitinfused popsicles.

A hot chocolate stand featuring an array of donuts, candy canes, and chocolate-covered marshmallows for winter weddings.

Today couples even rent ice cream trucks for their guests to enjoy! Having smaller desserts let you have multiple flavors of each item, or for both you and your spouse to choose your favorite flavors, or even flavors that represent the two of you, similar to having signature cocktails. Candy bars with bags for your guests to fill and take home, or creating your own ice cream sandwiches or sundaes, allow everyone to get involved at more laidback casual receptions. Such desserts add personality to the overall wedding.
