Choosing The Best Wedding Menu For The Seasons

By Linda Ruiz


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.

For a beautiful spring-time event you can decorate with the seasons most exquisite flowers and use pastels such as pale pinks, lavender, blues and yellows. Two favorite flowers are daffodils and tulips for this time of the year. The menu should include refreshing food and drinks. The cake should also be in pastel colors and in a flavor like lemon, coconut, or strawberry with light butter-cream whipped frosting and filled with fresh fruit that corresponds to the actual flavor.

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.

If you are planning your event in Fall, pumpkins and lovely fallen leaves in burnished orange, golds and browns will be spectacular for decorating ideas. The menu should consist of hardy foods and drinks. A favorite appetizing starter would be a bisque soup served in hollowed out small pumpkins and smoked salmon on the side.

You can choose juicy steak filet, chicken roasted, or a nice savory filet of tuna or favorite fish. The sides should include vegetables harvested this time of the year and for desserts like apple pie, pumpkin pie, and a scoop or two of coffee ice cream on top. The cake for the bride and groom can be a luxurious dark chocolate.

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.

For the bride and groom cake a nice spiced caramel with a frosting of butter-cream or a dark velvety chocolate orange delight frosted and filled with dark chocolate and decorated with orange flakes and flowers. Just remember that whatever theme or season you choose the menu should be reflected with foods which match them and your wedding will day will be a dream come true.
