Cake may be the traditional go-to wedding dessert, but another popular choice (either in lieu of or in addition to cake) is macarons. These stylish French treats are made from light-as-air meringue cookies and a delicate cream filling, requiring a skilled hand to make just right. With hundreds of flavor and color combinations to fit any wedding color palette or theme, it's no wonder they're getting so much attention. From personalized escort cards to perfectly packaged favors, here are some fun and beautiful ways to add macarons to your wedding (or shower, or engagement party!).
1. Painted with brushstrokes of edible gold, macarons can play two roles: dessert and décor.
2. Whisk your guests away to Paris (in spirit) with a tower of ombré macarons for dessert.
3. Deck the wedding dessert table with cake stands piled high with assorted macarons, cookies, cupcakes and more.
