Monday Menu: Non-Traditional Wedding Food

What is your favorite comfort or junk food? Have you thought about adding non-traditional foods to your wedding menu?

Do you love Mexican food? What about having a taco bar at your reception. 

What about treating your guests with pizza? Ask you catering company about making onsite pizzas so your guests can personalize. 

Are you a French fry lover? You can't go wrong adding these American favorites to your reception menu! We love the idea of adding mini burgers too. 

Make sure to include your favorite things on your reception menu no matter how non-traditional the are.

Trend Alert : Gatsby Glamor

History has shown us that Hollywood has a big affect on what is trendy. Hollywood also affects wedding trends. With the release of the movie "The Great Gatsby" we are sure to see an increase in "Gatsby Glamor" weddings. 

 
The 1920's style has influenced fashion for years and is still present on today's red carpet. Brides are also looking for 1920's style in their wedding attire.



Ask your guest to join in on the fun and encourage 1920's attire at the wedding.
