Wedding Culinary Works Displayed in Elegant Glasses & Jars
Food is an integral part of your post-vow celebration, whether you’re hosting a “cake & punch” reception, a multi-course seated meal, or anything in between. They say that before a person can even take a bite, they “eat with their eyes” first – meaning that, when it comes to cuisine, presentation is just as important as taste. We believe that one of the most fun aspects of wedding planning is sitting down with your caterer to design your menu: they will likely have excellent suggestions based on your preferences, wedding concept, and budget. Remember, the beauty lies within the details of your day, so even smaller fare should look delectable as can be.
One of our favorite methods of presenting hors d’oeuvres or appetizers is in glasses or translucent jars: this keeps the food bite-sized while exuding a certain level of sophistication. This look blends well with every known wedding motif – it’s a sure-fire way to get guests’ mouths watering during the cocktail hour or your reception.
