There is a reason why the holidays are the yummiest of seasons – all the delicious treats! Regardless if you you go big or small the desserts at your wedding can make an adorable impact.  Like having mini-gingerbread houses at the table, scrumption pies + cookies, or a simple “snow” frosted wedding cake.

6. Faux Snow Fun

So if you live in a place like sunny SoCal, finding real snow is not always an easy task.  So, add some faux snow to create the magic.  Your pictures will be amazing and it adds a whole extra layer of fun to your wedding day.
