Ice cream is a fool-proof dessert for any type of wedding, whether casual or formal. Your presentation will define the tone of your ice cream bar.
An outdoor wedding will benefit from an ice cream truck or cart. Save your guests from the scorching heat by serving ice cream at a summer wedding. See how much fun the bride and groom are having in this photo from Praise Wedding?

For dressier weddings, take a cue from this setup. The stylist managed to inject a lot of class on the mountainous ice cream scoops heaped over a simple white bowl. The combination of colors works really well with the white flower arrangement.

Don’t forget to display your toppings tastefully too!
If you want to pack some color with the least effort possible, put colorful candies and sweets in clear jars.

These multi-colored sweets can go beyond the ice cream bar too. Put several candy-filled jars on each table instead of the traditional flower arrangement. Guests can just grab a piece or two if they’re too stuffed to have a full-serving of dessert.
Check out an assortment of clear jars in different shapes and sizes here.
Recently, donuts have been very popular in dessert bars instead of the traditional cake and we can totally see why. Donuts are economical and guests can have better control of their serving portions.
You can arrange them on a peg board like this one here for an Instagram-worthy dessert section.

The simplicity of donuts should stimulate a lot of creativity on your part. Donuts with brightly-colored frosting and sprinkles don’t really need much dressing up, but even classic sugar glazed donuts are a perfect canvas to work with.
