To help you and your guests stay cool and fresh during your awesome summer wedding, here are 6 great sweet treats you might want to serve during dessert time. Read on!
Fresh Fruit Popsicles or Ice Pops
Give your guests a refreshing treat even before the wedding starts. Weddings commonly start in the afternoon and guests cannot avoid getting toasted under the heat of the sun as they travel to the venue or wait for the program to begin. Offer them a cooling treat that isn’t so heavy on the tummy through fresh fruit popsicles. You can serve fruit-flavoured or fruit-infused popsicles to keep them hydrated for the busy day ahead. Or if you want a healthier alternative, go ahead and freeze sliced fruits on popsicles for a great summer treat for all ages.
Gelato Truck
Perfect for garden weddings and outdoor receptions, hiring a gelato truck to serve all your guests is a great way to keep everyone cool and comfy all throughout the summer day. Don’t worry, you won’t have to serve all 31 flavours but you only need to pick a couple of your favourite ones and everyone can go back for seconds or thirds even during party time.
Shaved Ice
Quick, easy and enjoyable, create a make-your-own ice cone station by prepping heaps of shaved ice, dozens of paper cones or paper cups and a couple of yummy flavouring syrup. Guests will enjoy creating their own cones, which is perfect for a really hot day by the beach or a clear day at a rooftop venue.
Lemon Bars and Fruit Tarts
Keep it zesty and sweet with this all-time favourite summer staple, lemon bars. This dessert, which is a sweet mix of sweet and tangy, can also serve as your take-home treat for your guests to pack and enjoy on their way home. It is a perfect way to end a scrumptious meal and also a great ender to such a sweet and special wedding day.
