Clearly label each dessert with its name and ingredients, especially for those with dietary restrictions. Provide serving utensils. Offer spoons, forks, and napkins to make it easy for guests to enjoy their treats. Set the mood. Play soft music and dim the lights to create a romantic and intimate atmosphere.
By incorporating these ideas and adding your own personal touch, you can create a dessert bar that will be a sweet and memorable highlight of your Camden wedding. Enjoy!
