The Wedding Menu That Works Best With Each Season

By Linda Ruiz


Your wedding day is the one day it is all about you and the one you love. So making it extra special is a must. The wedding menu should correspond to the theme if you have one of your blessed day or pertain to foods that the two of you love the most. Hiring a caterer as most couple's do will be a great asset as they can help guide you along the way for an exquisite menu everyone will enjoy.

If you have decided on a lovely wedding in the spring, pastel colors should be used in the decorating theme with freshly cut flowers blooming at the time. Daffodils are abundant right now and make beautiful additions. Your menu needs to reflect the light and airy feeling of spring and starting with a crisp mimosa for your cocktails is a great start to the festivities. Your wedding cake choice should have some of the tasty fruits of the spring like strawberry, lime, or pineapple.

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.

Fall weddings are not only lovely events but gives you the decorating colors of the glimmering golds and burnished reds, browns and golds this season has to offer. Your menu needs to include foods that are hardy and represent this season. Starters you can choose from are compote with fig and apples, and fresh fall fruit tarts.

Your Autumn themed cake can have a spice cake with a caramel filling and a cream cheese butter cream frosting in a deep rich hue and topped with apples, pears and other fall fruits to make it elegant and tasty. Or you can go for the delicious pumpkin spiced caked filled with pumpkin pie filling and a rich caramel butter cream frosting.

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.

Your winter-time cocktails should have flavors like peppermint, butterscotch, and cranberry made in martini's or champagne mixes. The starter can include some type of hardy, warm soup and the entree a nice filet of steak with a side of wasabi mashed potatoes. Desserts perfect for winter weather you can choose from are rich, chocolate and coffee inspired delicacies.

When planning your menu for your big day if you decide against using traditional foods of the season, talk with your soon-to-be and incorporate foods that mean something to the both of you. If you have a favorite cake flavor and frosting then by all means choose that instead. This is you and your partner's day and should be a reflection of the two of you coming together as one.
