PHOTOS: Delicious Wedding Dessert Bars

By Rachel Wilkerson, Lover.ly

As you plan your wedding menu, we recommend thinking beyond traditional wedding cakes and considering a dessert bar! If you go this route, you can skip the cake entirely (a great option for couples on a strict budget!) or have a small cake along with macarons, cupcakes, mini pies, and other confections. Your guests will love being able to choose from a variety of treats (and don't forget to set out cute bags so they can take some sweets home as favors). Here is inspiration for your wedding day dessert bar.
