Delicious Wedding Trends

 

  

If you haven’t noticed, gone are the days of a traditional white cake and simple flower arrangements at weddings.  Now days, people put more thought into adding their own touch to their nuptials, which means guests have a more personal experience and learn more about the couple through their choices.

We’ve seen cupcakes instead of cake.  We’ve seen the candy bar with an array of sugary goodies. But when I heard about the new trend of using french macarons in place of the traditional wedding cake, I was beyond excited.  Not only are these little delights one of the most delicious desserts I’ve ever eaten, but they are gluten-free!  And as someone who now has to forgo wedding cake because of an annoying gluten allergy, this is music to my ears.

People are stacking them on tiers to simulate the “look” of a wedding cake, displaying them on beautiful cake stands, sticking them on lollipop sticks, and arranging them in fine china bowls by color.  However you choose to do it, this new alternative to wedding cake is simply stunning.  After much taste-testing in Dallas with my friends April and Lorann, we decided  Creme de la Cookie bakery hands down has the most delicious french macarons.  Half the fun of shooting today’s post was the taste testing!  Their macarons are light, colorful, and almost too perfect to eat. (But we managed to get over that.)

Though some wedding trends in recent years should be passed on (camouflage wedding cakes, for example,) I’d like to encourage anyone planning their wedding, rehearsal, or even just a really fabulous party to make french macarons a part of the big day.  Délicieux!
