11 Displays for a Slice of Pi Day Wedding Inspiration

It’s that time of year again! Pi Day is here, and the only reasonable way to celebrate is with the holiday staple and delicious dessert so beloved that even Warrant, James Taylor and The Beatles couldn’t help but dedicate a song to it. Whether it’s cherry pie, sweet potato pie or wild honey pie (or, you know, the classics like apple and pecan!), this delicate labor of love is known for its flaky, buttery crust baked to a crisp golden brown and stuffed with delicious creamy fillings bursting with flavor. Although today is a mathematical holiday, we’d be remiss to skip out on the opportunity to showcase a dessert that’s providing some healthy competition to the traditional wedding cake. 

Weddings take place all year round, and one of the best things about pie is that there’s one for every season: citrus flavors for spring ceremonies, berry pies for summer soirees, creamy pumpkin for fall affairs, and warm apple pies for chilly winter weddings. So in honor of Pi Day, the math holiday celebrating a number that we most likely can no longer recite past the fifth decimal, we’re paying homage to one of our favorite wedding cake alternatives and all-around favorite desserts. Here’s 11 wedding dessert tables and displays that are sure to leave you pie-eyed! Happy Pi Day!

We love the sweet pie topper with the newlywed's initials and the way they decorated the pie with the same flowers that filled the bride's bouquet. | photo by Susan Shek Photography
