Dessert Envy: Wedding Dessert Options!

Wedding Design

3 Jun

Cake seems to be the queen bee of the wedding dessert world, but now there are so many options for wedding desserts that are steering away from the traditional wedding cake. Wedding guests love unexpected details, so picking a dessert other than cake (or in addition of!) will make your wedding that much more special!

Below, we have outlined some of our favorite wedding desserts- try not to go into a sugar coma!

Cupcakes

Cupcakes are a great alternative to a traditional cake. They can look amazingly colorful, like above, and you can have lots of options of frosting and cake for your guests to choose from. Plus, no need to cut the cake- each cupcake is the perfect size for each guest.

Pies

Pies have become a new and fun wedding dessert! This option has been popular amongst our Perfectly Posh couples, and guests have loved the different option too! Many of our couples have been going to A La Mode Pies in Seattle for their wedding pie catering! They have many different pie options to choose from, like Key Lime, French Apple, Bourbon Butterscotch, Cherry, and many more! They even add a special touch of adding the corresponding fruit next to the pie as decoration (the French Apple pie has apples sitting next to it!).

Cake Pops

Cake Pops are ridiculously cute and so fun to eat! Like cupcakes, you can get a variety of flavors, so you can ensure all your guests will get cake pop they enjoy! One Wild Strawberry, a cake pop caterer in the Seattle area, makes super fun and delicious designs, from the round cake pops, to panda bear cake pops! Cake pops range from $2- $5 each, with the suggested serving of 1-2 cake pops per guest! Their most popular flavors are confetti, chocolate and red velvet (yum!).

Candy Bar

Having a candy bar is another fun option for dessert. You can have as many candy options, as you like! I have even seen couples coordinate the candy to match their wedding colors. This can be fairly inexpensive too, since you can buy the candy on your own, make the signage, and place it out, rather than having a cater do it all for you. You can even make the candy your wedding favors too! Just place pretty “to go” baggies on the table, so your guests can bring home their favorite candy!

Ice Cream Bar

Having an ice cream bar is a fun late night dessert to help cool down your guests after some dancing! Seattle Ice Cream Catering offers a great catering service where you can choose from a variety of ice cream flavors and toppings. They even have lactose free, wheat free, sugar free, and non-fat yogurt options that will be sure to please your guests! The catering service will bring 13 ice cream flavors, 13 toppings and supply the spoons and napkins for your event. The ice cream bar is $5.29 per person (if guest count is above 75). Everyone loves ice cream- and it can be a great addition to a traditional cake, or great on its own!

More and more couples are opting for fun and unique wedding desserts, rather than just having a traditional cake! An element of surprise is always a sure way to make your guests have a great time- and why not surprise them with some yummy treats!

Have you had any fun and unique desserts are your wedding that your guests raved about? Let us know- we love having a list of recommendations for our couples!

Here’s to saying “I do!”

Instagram post 2185092462043932096_196640879 New babe means the time has come for me to get a personal Instagram account.  I avoided this for years, keeping business and personal under one account was just way easier. BUT with the arrival of our little lady Madeleine and all her cute photos that I can't help but share, it seems like a good time to create a new account so those of you who would rather just see wedding inspiration won't be inundated with baby photos on your feed (even if it's of the cutest baby in the entire world 😉). Don't worry, I'll still occasionally share baby cuteness with ya'll on this account - it just won't be frequent and we will be keeping the majority of our content focused on weddings & parties.  So if you want to follow along on the personal adventures of Holly and probably one too many photos of Madeleine, head on over to @hollypattonolsen 💗

Momma and baby girl are both healthy, happy, and enjoying this time together with dad as a family of three. 
Holly is off on maternity leave until January but the rest of the team is still here holding down the fort and working on planning our 2020 weddings!

Oh and we promise to not interrupt your wedding feed with too many baby photos... only the really really cute ones 😘  #madeleinegraceolsen #thefishermanandweddingplanner
