As the summer wedding season rapidly approaches Bakers Best Catering of Boston shares 6 tips to make your wedding memorable, and it all starts with the food.
Edible Centerpieces:
For brides looking to stretch their dollar to meet both catering and decorating needs, family-style edible centerpieces do just the trick. Some ideas include: peasant-style tapas and local artisan cheese displays.
Small Plates and Appetizers:
Cocktail receptions are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to the more expensive sit-down plated dinners. In addition to a smaller catering tab, which is always appreciated in this economical climate, these small plates-driven receptions keep guests on their feet, mingling and dancing.
Eco-Friendly Menus:
Whether it's couples asking the caterer to include produce from their own home garden or farm or requesting sustainable proteins, weddings have officially gone GREEN!
Themed Menus:
No, we're not talking about dying the rice the perfect shade of lavender to match the bridesmaids' shade of lavender to match their menus to their wedding location: tea sandwiches for garden wedding; clambakes for a beach wedding; a raw bar at a boathouse wedding.
Culture Clash Menus:
Brides and grooms are now using food to tell the story of their different ethnic backgrounds. The marriage theme is often tied into the menu with a blending of different traditional foods to create a new type of cuisine.
Hometown Touches:
For the Chicago couple tying the knot on Nantucket, this means a traditional Chicago-style hot dog cart with all the fixings. Also seen: Philly cheese steaks, New England clambakes, New Orleans po'boys, Kansas BBQ.
We're getting married in Chicago, thinking of the hot-dog bar idea! Thanks for sharing, great list!
