Wedding Wednesday is back and today I’m sharing all the details about our wedding cake and dessert table!

Very early on in the wedding planning process, we elected to do a tiny wedding cake (to cut for photos) and then a larger dessert table (with lots of cake and cake-like options). Neither of us was particularly interested in one of those large, tiered wedding cakes that never taste good so a dessert table sounded great to us.

Your Wedding Might Be Boring and Unromantic
It seems that all you see these days are big, lush, deeply romantic weddings were all the guests are perfectly dressed and having a wonderful time.
