Being gluten-free can sometimes feel limiting when it comes to desserts and other bread-based snacks. And if you're a gluten-free bride, it can be even more challenging to incorporate a traditional cake into your wedding. But don't worry! We're here to help you out with some of the best gluten-free desserts featured in real weddings, plus gluten-free recipes from Martha herself.

Macarons

Thank goodness this fan-favorite and ever-popular dessert is gluten-free! Plus, you can make the little cookies match your wedding color palette, and they always look gorgeous on display.
