Feed your friends mini pies

Lots of people love wedding cake, but there’s a big world of potential wedding desserts out there — including mini pies! Laura and David opted to serve these tiny treats at their Southern hippie wedding. The best part? There were tons of pies leftover, so guests got to take plenty of them home.

Indian-inspired wedding menu from a wannabe foodie

I’m a wannabe foodie. I decided early on that good food was a priority for the wedding. After much indecision on my part, one day my husband declared that we should have Indian food at the wedding. It made sense. We both love Indian food. Why shouldn’t we have it at our wedding?

Have a three-tier Rice Krispies treat as your wedding cake

Casey and Tim’s farm wedding was heavy on the delish desserts — including this three-tier wedding cake made from Rice Krispies! This is a true DIY masterpiece: Casey’s dad created custom form pans and her mom whipped up the treat. If you’re not feeling up to creating your own forms you could use something already made, like a regular cake pan or one that’s heart-shaped.
