We know cupcakes and pie took hold of the wedding industry by force in the past decades, but we're seeing loads more wedding donuts and we VERY much approve. Give me a glazed ring or french cruller any day. Plus, donuts = rings, and who says no to a ring theme at a wedding?

From towers to photo ops to donut earrings, here are ten reasons why wedding donuts may be your favorite cake substitute...

Wedding donuts are prime for funny toppers

They already come in delish flavors

Cereal donuts FTW!

They stack perfectly for a donut "tower"

They can totally look classy!

Donut photo ops fo' life!

You can serve the holes later in the night

Or just serve lots o' little donut holes!

You can make a donut into a cake

It's a great excuse to grab a cool donut stand

And a great excuse to nab these earrings for your wedding party

Hell, do both donuts AND cake!
