What to have for your wedding dessert table

Following the trend for relaxed family style dining, dessert buffets are seeing a surge in popularity at weddings. In addition to fitting in with the laid-back dining feel dessert tables have two other advantages: they are less expensive than having plated desserts served due to fewer staff being required, and they allow for the fact that some people may not want dessert while others may want two!

If you are undecided about whether a dessert bar is for you, some more reasons to consider it are:

  • You don’t have to decide on just one or two types of dessert
  • You can theme your dessert bar and make it a decorative feature
  • Serving dessert takes around 30 minutes for 100 people, while a dessert bar allows guests to top up as and when they want to during the evening.

Here are some gorgeous dessert bars to inspire you.
