- You can have macarons as a gorgeous base for your small wedding cake. This idea is totally unique and is guaranteed to catch your guests' eyes.

- If you want a traditional wedding cake and a macaron cake, however wish to keep your desserts separate, serve macarons on the side. Macarons can complement the colour and style of your star dessert for a steady theme of your dessert table.

- Give your guest to-go boxes so that they can bring them home or edible wedding favours with lovely macarons. Opt healthy, fruity, savory, superfood based or alcohol infused macarons for added fun or health!

- The most loved at weddings is the macaron tower, as they are big, bold and you can really customize them to fit your wedding theme. You can go multi-coloured, all-white, ombré or customise your own original design.

- Macarons leave less mess, as there are no excess icing to deal with, no staining the carpets or slicing isn't a concern either. Macarons offer the opportunity for better portion control and easy to pop in your mouth.
