You can only get married in one place at a time, and if you’re settled on a London wedding, congratulations, it’s one of the best cities in the world. But that should not stop you from having the best of other cities at your wedding, and we all know Paris is big on romance, the perfect element for any wedding day.
Enter, macarons.
Macarons; the daintiest, prettiest sweet treat there is. The queen of any patisserie range, and the most delightful way to add some Parisian Chic to your wedding day.
Available in any colour and flavour imaginable, there is truly no other treat as alluring as a macaron. There, I said it. As many sweet treats as I make, macarons take the prize for the most coveted dessert item there could possibly be.
If you’re looking for a treat that will delight both the taste buds and the eyes of your guests, look no further. Here are four ways you can use macarons to add a little je ne said quoi to your wedding.
Bridesmaid Proposal Macarons
So somewhere between popping the BIG question, but before you get to your big day, another question needs to be asked to your bridal party – and this right here is the sweetest way to ask – Bridesmaid Proposal Macarons!
Five macarons, bearing those five lovely words: “Will you be my bridesmaid?” Perfect for fitting through the post, adding to a bespoke bridesmaid proposal box, or handing out in person – these are by far one of our most popular items. We’ve had such good responses to these boxes, and even had bridesmaids answer the question in the same way – macarons all round!
It’s such a delightful and thoughtful gift to give to the team that will be supporting you on your big day, and undoubtedly beyond.
Wedding Macaron Tower
A towering centrepiece featuring these cute little bites is more than my heart can take, to be honest. Imagine a ten-tier tower, standing over two feet tall, bearing 150 of these beautiful little treats. Whether you opt for an ombre tower, a single colour macaron tower, or any other colour palette, there is no denying that a macaron tower makes for an impressive feature at a wedding. Macaron towers need not be huge, if you would like a smaller one, a six-tier version still makes for a remarkable dessert option. What’s more is that each tower can have as many flavours as there are colours. Your guests will definitely be having more than one macaron!
Macaron Name Places
Name places are usually an afterthought, as they’re the finer details in the wedding planning process. Though often overlooked, it’s worth making the effort here, as it’s one of the first things your guest will see when they sit down at the wedding breakfast.
If you want to be fancy; macarons + calligraphy is the winning combination here. With each guest having their name handwritten on to a macaron, this would double up as a lovely wedding favour. Edible name places also boost the sustainability of your wedding, since they are a zero-waste alternative to the traditional paper/card options.
Guests love personalised touches to the wedding day, and how sweet would this one be?
Macaron Wedding Favours
Boxed up in delightful little pairs, tied with ribbon or adorned with petals, flowers or a charm, macaron favours look great amidst any table arrangement. As delicious as they are beautiful, macaron boxes make for such an elegant wedding favour. Here at Sugar & Stories, I take great pleasure in making your macarons to order. Because they are bespoke, macaron favours are a great way to express your wedding colours and flavours. With two in the box, both of you can pick a flavour for your guests and attach a “thank you” sticker as a token of your appreciation.
Whichever option you choose, you ensure a showstopper, a centrepiece, a great talking point and a tasty treat for your guests.
What’s not to love?! Don’t believe me? Just listen to what previous brides and grooms have had to say about our macarons.
“My bridesmaids loved the macarons, they said they tasted amazing! Thank you so much.”
“I felt I needed to drop you a message to let you know how good these were. Best macarons we’ve ever had.”
“The macarons were simply divine! Chewy, crumbly & crunchy in the perfect proportions. I am in LOVE.”
“The macaron tower you made for our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. They were beautifully made, personalised and tasted delicious. A lot of our guests commented on how wonderful they were!”
