A TASTY WELCOME

by Anne Pyburn Craig

date posted: March 06, 2019

Imagine arriving at a wedding a few minutes early. You’ve been getting ready, you’ve been traveling, and you’re just now realizing you haven’t eaten since breakfast. Then you see it: the pre-ceremony grazing table and beverage bar.

Your whole being sighs with gratitude. You’ll be relaxed and focused on every moment of the joyous ceremony, not wondering how soon you get to eat. Yes. Be that couple. Don’t make your guests go hungry.

snacks should be finger food

• Canapés

• Finger sandwiches

• Fruit

• Nuts

• Crudités

• Cheese platter

• Charcuterie

• Deviled eggs

• Mini egg rolls

• Mini pastries

 

diy grazing table tips

• Add a decorative piece or two and some flowers.

• Create a layered effect (Vintage wooden crates? Platters with pedestals? Clean bricks?) with higher platters of hors d’oeuvres behind lower ones.

• Use swaths of complementary (or contrasting) colors and textures of food.

beverage bar ideas

• Self-serve jugs filled with iced tea, lemonade, water, infused water, or punch

• Flutes of champagne or sparkling wine.

• Coffee or tea
