Food & Beverage Facts and Tips

Every couple wants their wedding day to be a special day to remember. That is why people tend to go all-out to make the occasion so grand. There are the major aspects of the wedding such as the dress, venue, music, food, and flowers that will all make the wedding memorable, but it is often the smaller details that can make a wedding truly spectacular.

When discussing colors with your coordinator at your wedding venue, you will probably be offered either cream or white as a color option for tablecloths and napkins. Nowadays, most brides do tend to develop their own color scheme and will plan everything around it. Certain colors of table linen may be provided by the venue or you can rent them from an independent firm. Having matching linen will add a certain style to the reception. You can even go a step further and add chair covers in either a matching or complementary shade. It isn’t something that people would notice if it were missing, but they will be sure to notice it once it’s there. This will help to tie in the reception room with the wedding color scheme.

All traditional weddings will offer water goblets on the tables. By adding a slice of lemon to each glass will give it a special touch. Likewise you could consider adding a strawberry to the champagne flutes for the wedding toast. Your guests will be impressed with these little details added to the wedding planning.

The food has to be the best part of the wedding reception. Everybody looks forward to savoring the delicious delights that grace the tables. Welcome your guests with a pre dinner cocktail hour. Usually you will find a variety of spirits and mixers served but why not greet the guests with a margarita fountain. A small pasta station is becoming quite a popular addition to the cocktail hour. A small table with just a couple of different pastas and sauces is a great way to keep hunger pangs at bay before the wedding feast. Once the main meal is over, rather than serving individual cofees, consider a coffee buffet with different types of coffee on offer. Again these are not too expensive items to add, but your guests will remember them.

The best way to create and memorable and stylish wedding is to set the stage with special extras. Whether it is tying the color scheme with rented table linen and chair covers, the fruit added to the glassware or offering the drinks fountain, pasta station or coffee buffet. Any one or all of these suggestions will add style to your wedding.
