Sweet Tables

There is more to nuptial desserts than wedding cake. A sweet table is everything to all dessert lovers—and a good choice for couples who can’t agree on a cake.

Your own mini-dessert buffet might include dozens of different finger pastries and is commonly seen at Old World-style Greek, Italian and Polish weddings. This option gives guests a chance to sample an array of tarts, cakes, confections and flavors. Include some fruit and sugarless treats for guests on restricted diets.

While a sweet table doesn’t replace your wedding cake, you may opt for a smaller version. Guests will want to save room for sampling, lingering near the table as they mull over their choices.
