Posted on 21 June, 2017

Wedding desserts are a tricky choice.

You want something delicious but small enough not to spoil people’s appetites for your spectacular wedding cake. You also want something that reflects the season and theme. So we’ve put together some inspiration for you!

Here are some fun desserts options that complement each season and won’t leave guests feeling overwhelmed.

Autumn

Autumn weddings are beautiful – the leaves are turning, and there’s an element of cosiness without the weather being too cold. To me, desserts that suit an autumn wedding are either a bit spiced with elements of cinnamon and nutmeg, and are rich in colour and taste.

This gingerbread souffle is comforting during those months nearing winter, with the ginger providing that extra kick of flavour and spice. The recipe can be found here.

Winter

Winter weddings can be exceptionally beautiful. They often exude elegance and cosiness, capitalising on the unique beauty of frosty climes.

It makes sense to match your desserts to the colder temps, meaning richer, comfort-food-esque desserts will be favoured.

Donuts will be a crowd-pleaser whatever the season, but the capacity to be easily heated up makes them an attractive option for a winter dessert. You can get crafty with their presentation, too!

Spring

Spring weddings are popular for a reason – the weather is typically warm, the skies blue, and the flowers blooming. Pay homage to these seasonal blessings in your dessert. Think pinks of all hues, berries and fresh fruit!
