The latest catering trends for your wedding
After picking the brains of those-in-the-know, we’ve compiled a list of the top catering trends sweeping weddings this year. Read on and be inspired by these inventive ideas, guaranteed to provide a talking point at your big day.
Grazing
Yes, grazing is the new buzz word in the catering world; it’s a buffet, but not as we know it. The idea is to create a more sociable dining experience so guests aren’t restricted to sitting on a table surrounded by a handful of people. Everyone is free to mingle whilst they munch creating a more relaxed ambiance. Food stations are set up around the room as opposed to one specific area forcing guests to explore the room and make new acquaintances along the way.
Outrageous cakes
It’s your big day, have your cake and eat it! If you have a colour theme extend that to your food too. Perhaps you can’t get enough of pink? Have a giant pink marshmallow wedding cake as the centre piece for your reception. Monochrome theme wedding? How about a chequered cake decorated with white and dark chocolate pearls? One bride even went as far as having a life size replica of herself for her wedding cake; it goes to show, there really are no boundaries.
Self-service cocktail bars
Present your guests with a range of liquors, fruit juices and mixers and let them loose with their imagination. It’s worth having a professional cocktail waiter on hand to assist your guests and offer them some tips. Cocktail waiters are generally more than happy to show off their skills adding a great spectacle to your reception.
Organic menus
Have a wedding breakfast with a conscience and use only fair trade, local, organic and seasonal produce to create your menu. Your insightful choice of ingredients won’t go unnoticed by your guests and many will appreciate the effort you’ve made. Clavelshay Barn in Taunton is a wedding venue set on a family run farm. They offer a menu using locally sourced produce, with their speciality being their organic beef reared on their farm.
Banquet style
Instead of segregating your guests off onto separate tables, arrange to have two or three long tables alongside each other and enjoy a medieval style wedding. For an added feature consider having your meat carved at the table for guests to watch whilst they wait to be served.
