CATERING
EAT, DRINK AND
be merry What’s hot in wedding catering
T
he food is one of the lingering memories of the big day so it pays to get it right. While the traditional sit-down, three-course meal remains a perennial favourite, couples are increasingly adventurous in the food they choose and look to reflect their lives and loves throughout their day, not least with the menu. Key trends for the year ahead include increased focus on sustainability and sourcing locally, farm-to-table and al fresco dining to suit all tastes.
YOUR DAY, YOUR WAY The rise and rise of alternative-style wedding breakfasts is set to continue and the choice is as big as your imagination. It’s not just about the food either, it’s the whole experience, whether it’s help-yourself picnic hampers, sharing dishes or a hot roast with a guest as designated carver on each table – it all adds to the atmosphere and helps people to mix and mingle for a wedding to remember.
SPREAD THE JOY To ward off any unwanted tummy rumbles, spread the joy throughout the day with a range of tasty treats, from the post-vows canapés, to sweet treats like a traditional ice-cream van, candyfloss cart or marshmallows to roast over a roaring fire when the sun goes down.
