3 Delicious Wedding Dessert Trends for Your Big Day

From a classic three-tiered white wedding cake to bite-sized desserts like mini cupcakes, tarts, and dessert shooters, custom confections are sure to offer your guests a sweet experience. As the wedding dessert industry expands in so many fun directions, it can be hard to choose the best option for you and your guests! Here at Green Bay Botanical Garden we like to think we are dessert connoisseurs. Well, not exactly, but we’ve seen our fair share of unique wedding treats!

Interactive Experiences

Incorporating interactive dessert stations where guests can customize their treats provides guests with a sweet dessert and delicious entertainment! A doughnut wall, build-your-own cupcake station, cotton candy machine, or ice cream bar is sure to be a memorable feature that will keep your guests busy all night long.

Dessert tables with an assortment of treats are also popular. With an array of confections like cookies, brownies, macarons, and more, there’s sure to be something for even the pickiest of eaters. To put a spin on things, try a savory snack table to keep your guests happy while they dance the night away!

A Minimalist Approach

If the aesthetic of your dessert is important to you, a great option to consider is the new trendy “naked cake”. With minimal frosting on the outside and exposed layers, this style offers the unique opportunity to showcase the handiwork behind your wedding cake. Often featuring fresh flowers, fruits, or other natural elements for decoration, they just so happen perfectly match the Garden.

Inclusive Choices

With the growing awareness of dietary preferences and restrictions, you may also want to take into consideration different dietary options such as vegan and gluten-free treats. Allergy-friendly and dietary preference conscious desserts ensure that everyone feels included on your big day.

When settling on what dessert is best for you and your guests, remember, whatever you choose, your special day is sure to be filled with love and sweetness! If you’re ready to take the leap into wedding planning and think the Garden might be a perfect fit, reach out to our Events Team at weddings@www.gbbg.org or 920.593.5683. We can’t wait to work with you!
