I think it would be a very fun dessert for everyone to have at my wedding would be an ice cream bar. We would have different candies and toppings and what not, but my problem is that we're having an outdoor wedding at the beginning of June and I'm not sure how I could go about that. Anyone have any ideas!!! I really really REALLY want this and just am not sure where to go with it and was hoping someone would know!!!

What time is your reception? I would talk with your catering company and see if they have any ideas on how to pull it off, but here's one idea that you could do.

You can go to a store like Costco or Sam's Club and buy several boxes of the little ice cream cups that come in plastic containers and has the wooden spoon with them. Store your ice cream in an ice chest that contains dry ice. When going in to the chest, you will need to have an oven mitt in order to get the ice cream out of the chest since continued exposure to dry ice can lead to skin cells freezing.

I did something like this at college on the first day of classes for an organization I was a part of and it was a big success.

i think its a great Idea if you are having an in door reception. make sure the caterer or venue can dedicate someone to tend to it. You say you are having an outdoor wedding too, unless it is early AM or really Late I would not advise it. Cake icing will melt in the heat let alone ice cream.

idea! maybe you could do a popcicle buffet less mess they are supposed to be frozen (ice cream you need slightly melted to serve). Or is there a "desert" truck you can rent like a local ice cream man?

It can definitely be done! I've seen it in a few magazines before. I think your best bet will be an ice chest! Sounds yummy! Good luck! :)

If you can figure out a way to keep the ice cream on ice, then that would be ideal. We're having an ice cream bar, at our June wedding, but our wedding is indoors. Good luck! :)

buy or rent a large long freezer and find an outdoor outlet to plug it in and things should be fine. my grandma lives out in texas hillcountry area. she had a freezer outdoors for years that was always filled with icecream for my cousins and it never failed us.

I once went to a summer party where the hosts had rented a soft-serve ice cream machine. It was in their backyard and it was great. Maybe you could find a machine to rent.
