Wedding Dessert Table Ideas: Styling Your Macarons

Written by Shagun Jain

When it comes to curating the perfect dessert table at your wedding, every detail matters, from the types of treats to the overall presentation. One elegant centrepiece that’s stealing the spotlight these days is the macaron tower display. These delicate, colourful confections are not only delicious but visually stunning, making them an ideal choice for any wedding sweet table.

 

Here is how to style a macaron tower to elevate the dessert table and leave your guests swooning.

  1. Choose a Colour Palette That Matches Your Theme: The beauty of macarons is their versatility in colour. Choose shades that complement your wedding colours, whether you’re going for soft pastels, bold jewel tones, or ombre shades. This helps the dessert table feel like an intentional part of your decor rather than an afterthought. 

    Pro tip: Stick to 2–3 main colours for a chic, cohesive macaron display.

  2. Balance with Other Desserts for the Dessert Table: A macaron display is a showstopper, but it works best when paired with other carefully curated treats. Consider mini tarts, cupcakes, cake pops, or chocolate-covered strawberries. The mix of textures and flavours will keep guests coming back for more and elevate the entire wedding dessert table experience.

  3. Use Height and Layers for Visual Interest: Incorporate varying heights to add dimension to your dessert table at the wedding. Place your macaron tower as the centrepiece, then use cake stands, risers, or decorative boxes to stagger other desserts around it. This layered approach adds a designer feel and makes the whole dessert table more Instagram-worthy.
  4. Add Personal Touches and Signage: Personalise your wedding sweet table with custom signage, floral accents, or small decor pieces that tie in with your wedding theme. You can also use small tags to label each dessert, especially if you’re offering gluten-free or vegan options.

  5. Keep It Practical and Guest-Friendly: While styling is important, function matters too. Ensure the macarons and other desserts on the dessert table are easily accessible for guests to reach and grab. Offer small plates and napkins nearby, and if you are outdoors, consider the climate; macarons are delicate and can be affected by direct sunlight.

A well-styled macaron display can transform your wedding dessert table into a focal point that’s as delicious as it is beautiful. With thoughtful planning, the right accessories, and a touch of creativity, your dessert table at your wedding will be a sweet success.
