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.

Spring weddings are truly beautiful and usually filled with fresh blooming flowers of the season. Menus chosen for spring should be light and refreshing. Appetizers can include a cool baby spinach salad with fresh vegetables or scallops seared with a light sauce. Your entree can be a nice salmon, tuna or Mackerel when the event takes place in Boston Ma., which is know for its succulent fresh seafood. The desserts can include rhubarb mini-tarts, or tropical fruit salads sprinkled with fresh coconut.

Some spring drink ideas people love include mojito's and bloody mary's. For a fall spectacular colors should be kept in the theme of autumn like burnished gold, red, brown, orange hues. The menus should have hearty foods within it, starting with a spinach, and kale salad filled with tomatoes, squash and corn kernels served with a raspberry vinaigrette or an Asian ginger dressing.

If you are planning your event in Fall, pumpkins and lovely fallen leaves in burnished orange, golds and browns will be spectacular for decorating ideas. The menu should consist of hardy foods and drinks. A favorite appetizing starter would be a bisque soup served in hollowed out small pumpkins and smoked salmon on the side.

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.

If winter is your special season for marriage then the menus needs to be full of soothing warm foods and drinks. Colors are glittering and bright this time of the year. For appetizers you can use ravioli filled with butternut squash, mini shooters of soup or skewers of honey glazed meatballs. The main course can include honey baked ham or a roast beef perfect for the holiday time.

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.

The cake can be decorated with sparkle and glitz, it is the season for it. You should think about dark rich flavors like dark chocolate, red velvet or spiced cake and then add in a filling like caramel, cherry cordial and buttered rum while frosting in a tinted butter cream to match the colors of the season. It is you and your beloveds day so if would rather add in foods you both love then by all means do it, as there is no set of rules you have to adhere too.
