We can't help but dream of romantic spring-inspired reception styles filled with vibrant spring-inspired wedding florals and bright color palettes for nuptials from March to June! There are a plethora of ways to turn a standard reception dessert into a true spring-inspired wedding dessert idea. To begin with, an alternate sweet table idea that is inspired by the season, you can start with fresh blooms and pretty pastel hues like lilac, powder blue, lemon yellow, and soft blush.

Treat your guests to a sundae bar if you and your date split a sundae at the end of your first date.

If you want to serve a second dessert without disrupting the music or dancing, have an attendant walk around and hand them out so that no one has to leave the dance floor. Alternatively, combine them with your wedding cake to create one epic spring wedding dessert table idea. There are countless ways to add a seasonal touch to your big-day dessert- from pretty pastel wedding cupcakes to tiered confections teeming with flowers in a rainbow of hues, that will feel entirely celebratory.
