With summer arriving across the country, what could be a sweeter treat to serve at weddings than ice cream, and what cuter ice cream accessories could there be than these adorable customized wooden spoons from Paper + Cup? Have them printed with your names, your wedding date, or your favorite nicknames for each other and make dessert even more delectable for your guests! Visit Paper + Cup's website for details and to swoon over all their other gorgeous wedding products.

Other great ways to bring ice cream into your wedding day could be asking your caterer to serve pretty ice cream sandwiches like these chocolate and strawberry, and meringue heart versions from Martha Stewart, or to set up a sundae bar so guests (and especially kids) can add their own toppings. If you're a Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry's lover, give out their single serving mini containers at the end of the night, or if you're in the mood for true novelty, give your guests childhood favorites like orange sherbet Push-Up Pops, Drumsticks, Choco Tacos, or even the wacky Dippin' Dots.

For Seattle area couples, check out Poco Carretto, the new gourmet mobile gelato cart from Chef Holly Smith of Cafe Juanita. I read about it this morning on Daily Candy (what perfect timing for this post!) and with flavors like Honeycomb, Burnt Sugar and Rhubarb Vanilla Bean Swirl, it sounds amazing! Check out their website, and get a taste test by visiting them at the Fremont, Bellevue and Juanita Beach farmers markets beginning Sunday, June 15th.

I also had ice cream at my wedding in the form of sundaes and rootbeer floats in lieu of cake. My guests loved it!

Yum! Ice cream, my favorite food!

I love the gelato cart idea. I can just imagine the smiling faces of kids at a wedding when they realize there a steady supply of free ice cream, (not to mention the adorable pictures of them enjoying it).

What a great idea! I especially like those Paper + Cup personalized spoons. And really how can you go wrong with ice cream? :)

Yummmmmm...... I had a friend who had sundaes at her rehearsal dinner. They were fabulous so we borrowed her idea for ours and changed it a bit. Just ice cream, for us, but from the best creamery in San Francisco.

Great Idea. Ice cream is so fun at a wedding. Many years ago we had a local caterer that always brought peppermint ice cream to go with the wedding cake. It was a yummy  combination.

You have many more creative ideas, I hope that I get to photograph some of these tasty treats at events here in Florida.

How cool are the heart-shaped sandwiches? Please forgive the pun. Ice cream should be a staple at any summer wedding. These could be served like a passed hors d'oeuvre. Who says you can't have dessert before dinner??
