If you’re a traditional bride, using Macaron’s in your wedding should not be complicated at all. Have the waiters serve them during cocktail hour or offer them during the reception after the cake has been cut. Also, try to use more neutral colors. This look creates a classic and elegant appeal and your guests will enjoy the originality.

Before you go, here is a little history. This trendy treat was either born in Italy, the food capital of the world, or France, the delicatessen capital. Both countries argue about it even today. You'd better watch out cupcakes, you may have some competition!
