Wedding Menu – A Perfect Selection of Food and Drinks

Written by Urabana Weddings

All you need to get married is LOVE. And, all you need to make your wedding memorable are heartfelt greetings, great music and relishing food. Planning a wedding menu is the most important task but it’s a time-consuming one. Before planning a wedding menu, the wedding season, food and drink options, kinds of guests and their preferences, and many other things need to be taken into consideration.

Wedding Menu Planning – Feast in Style

What and when to offer food and drinks are the most important questions that must be handled first while planning a wedding menu. There is no single menu that fits every wedding scenario, since every wedding is special and celebrated differently.  The location of the wedding, the season of the wedding, wedding guests, food preferences and the time of feast differs in all weddings.

How to Plan a Perfect Wedding Menu

 

Wedding days are full of celebrations and parties. Good food is the harbinger of good mood, so what, how and when we serve our guests is really important. The drinks, snacks, main course, and desserts need to be planned taking all the factors mentioned below into consideration.

Season of Wedding

Every season has its own preferences, colours and flavours of food. Let us get inspired by seasons and make our wedding menu more relishing.

  • Spring is a beautiful season filled with vibrant colours, so the spring wedding menu should include lots of food items having fresh veggies and fruits.  
  • Summers are hot and humid, so the summer wedding menu should include ice crushers, candies, light snacks and a variety of mini-meals.
  • Winter weddings offer the perfect opportunity for serving hot cocoa drinks, fudges, cakes and traditional recipes.
     

2.   A Cultural Touch

 

Families of the bride and groom may belong to the same or different cultural backgrounds. A good wedding planner turns this cultural challenge into an opportunity by adding cultural flavours in the wedding menu. Every culture is beautiful and it’s uniqueness cannot be better reflected than in its food. A wedding menu should include some authentic flavours to make it more appetising.

3.   Theme of The Wedding

 

Themed weddings turn the wedding celebrations into an entertaining saga of memorable moments. The wedding menu should be planned to highlight the wedding theme in a tempting way.

Heart shaped snacks, fresh pastries and indulging cakes for Romantic themed weddings.

  • Fresh tropical fruit, Coconut shrimp and Barbecued chicken for the beach themed weddings
  • Stuffed eggs and celery, old styled Pineapple cakes and Popcorn chicken in pots for vintage styled weddings

4.   Colours of Wedding

 

Choice of colours can make your wedding memorable for a lifetime since colours add spark to the wedding. Colours impact everything in the wedding from the wedding outfit & jewellery to the wedding decoration & feast. Colour and presentation of food work miraculously for making the wedding feast mouth-watering. A good wedding planner knows how to play with colours while finalising the wedding menu, for example

  • Colourful fruits and vegetable salads
  • Shrimp salad rolls
  • Grilled chicken with sautéed vegetables

Presentation

The appearance of food affects its taste. A good wedding planner knows very well that well cooked food works wonders if well presented. Small food stations, traditional buckets colourful pots, fancy cocktails, salad plates, ice candy jars, mini chocolate delights etc. are few options to offer food to our wedding guests.

Tasteful Words

To make the taste of the wedding feast last longer in the memories of guests, we need a well planned and selected food menu. A good wedding planner has the wholesome experience of planning a wedding menu. Hiring a professional wedding planner in Puket will not only offer the best food menu ideas but also will ensure the best hospitality and service
for our wedding guests.
