Great Alternative Wedding Food Ideas

I think lots of you these days are considering alternative options to traditional sit down wedding breakfasts for your main meal and also great alternatives to the traditional buffet fare for your evening receptions.
I think a few quirky tables or carts set up instead of an evening buffet can create a much more relaxed feeling for your evening guests ... who can then 'graze' throughout the evening whenever they want to take a break from the dancefloor ... rather than the usual (and in my opinion slightly cringy!) moment where the DJ declares the "buffet is now open!". It also means your Day guests ... who have probably had quite a lot of food by that point ... don't feel under pressure to go and fill there plates with food they may not be ready for!

Here are a few of my favourite ideas on how to keep your guests fed in the evening ( I may have a bit of a sweet tooth! But lots of these ideas can be adapted for savoury ideas as well ... hot dogs or tacos especially!) ...

 

Strawberries & Cream Wedding Inspiration

Its been such a gorgeous sunny week this week, and of course Wimbledon has been on the tv in the studio all week as well. So, despite the disappointing early exit of Andy from the Tennis, today I have decided to do a Strawberries & Cream themed post for my 'Weekly Wedding Ideas'.

Its the perfect theme for an English summer wedding and there are lots of ideas out there ... here are my favourites ...

Fresh Strawberries as favours ... how cute are these little bags seen on http://intimatewedding.com

This naked cake decorated by Strawberries is the perfect summer wedding cake .. found on http://english-wedding.com photography by www.thewightstudio.co.uk

Serve your guest Champagne with Strawberry Puree as below .. or of course a classic Pimms!

And finally serve these gorgeous individual strawberry shortcake desserts 

Have a lovely sunny weekend!
