Winter Wedding Menus
If you are having a winter wedding, you will want to serve foods that reflect the season. Foods should be warm, rich, and comforting. The time to start planning you menu is now, and with these great ideas, you will find it a breeze.
Ideas for the main courses include traditional comfort foods. Lasagna, macaroni and cheese or roast beef with mashed potatoes are all ideal choices. These foods appeal to everyone, and your family and friends will appreciate having a homey meal. Another perk to comfort foods is that often they are kinder to your budget than a fancier selection.
Ah, the cake… for a winter cake, you have plenty of options. Snowflakes are a beautiful adornment, or winter ribbons, and a touch you can’t do any other time of year: a snow globe topper. Winter cakes reflect the winter weather with the white frosting, and having that central to your wedding buffet or catered event ads a gorgeous finale. Consider having a rich, hearty cake under that white icing – chocolate, red velvet or spice cake – that might not be considered spring or summer flavors.
Since you have decided to go with a winter wedding, run with the theme. Keep your guests happy that they have come out in the cold; send them home with a warm and full tummy. The comfort foods, warming drinks, and beautiful desserts are sure to make your reception a cozy and memorable event while guests toast the new couple, eggnog in hand.
