Choosing the theme, decor and season of your dream-day wedding is very important but the wedding menu is even more so. You will want foods which flow together and go with one another as well as be seasonal if that is what your wedding is themed by. There are many caterers you can choose from to help walk you through the menu options and take the stress away from you by setting up and serving being done by their staff.
If you have decided on a lovely wedding in the spring, pastel colors should be used in the decorating theme with freshly cut flowers blooming at the time. Daffodils are abundant right now and make beautiful additions. Your menu needs to reflect the light and airy feeling of spring and starting with a crisp mimosa for your cocktails is a great start to the festivities. Your wedding cake choice should have some of the tasty fruits of the spring like strawberry, lime, or pineapple.
For spring drinks incorporate Bellini's and daiquiri's for the adults at your reception and for the non-alcoholic libations lemonade and sweet tea. For salad options choose crisp baby greens and fresh tomatoes and other vegetables. For the main entree the perfect choices are seafood especially when getting married in Boston Ma., where fish and crustaceans are abundant.
You can choose between richer foods for the entree like apple glazed guinea hens, roasted pork or a thick cut of steak. Sides to incorporate are butternut squash, sauteed mushrooms and onions with some type of corn bread. The desserts that work wonderfully this time of year are cheesecakes, apple spiced turnovers or apple caramel turnovers.
A nice roasted pork with honey, sliced apples and raisins is perfect for the cooler temperature in fall. Nice crisp cocktails like apple brandy or apple spiked ciders will delight the taste buds and accompany the entire menu. The wedding cake can be pumpkin spice cake with a pumpkin pie filling and frosted with a caramel butter-cream in a fall color or a nice spiced cake with a filling of dark chocolate and frosted with a burnished gold or red dark chocolate frosting.
Fall drinks like spiced apple cider and darker red wines. Now if you choose and fabulous winter wonderland event for your big day the colors can be silver and glittering blues, gold and silver or the traditional red and green and you can combine any of these as well to make a lovely decor. The menu should be warm and inviting to take the chill off.
Cocktails like hot buttered rum and hot cocoa with a little extra kick added in with marshmallow or peppermint vodka are great accompaniments to the meal. A soup with vegetables and a hearty beef served with a rye or wheat bread are perfect for starting the reception. Your entree can be a nice ham with brown sugar and honey glazing, this will get everyone in the holiday spirit.
When planning your menu for your big day if you decide against using traditional foods of the season, talk with your soon-to-be and incorporate foods that mean something to the both of you. If you have a favorite cake flavor and frosting then by all means choose that instead. This is you and your partner's day and should be a reflection of the two of you coming together as one.
