1 Plant-Based Menus: More and more couples are opting for plant-based menus to cater to guests with dietary restrictions or those who prefer vegan or vegetarian options. Some of the most popular dishes include veggie burgers, tofu stir-fry, and lentil soup.
2 Comfort Food with a Twist: Comfort food has always been a popular choice for weddings, but now couples are giving classic dishes a modern twist. For example, mac and cheese might be topped with truffle oil or lobster, and meatloaf might be served in slider form with homemade ketchup.
3 Interactive Food Stations: Couples are also getting creative with interactive food stations, which allow guests to customize their meals. These might include a make-your-own sushi station, a build-your-own taco bar, or a DIY pasta station.
4 Global Cuisine: Guests are excited to experience different flavours and cuisines, so couples are incorporating international dishes into their wedding menus. Some of the most popular options include sushi, Korean BBQ, and Indian curry.
5 Small Plates and Tapas: Rather than serving a traditional sit-down dinner, many couples are opting for small plates or tapas-style menus. This allows guests to sample a variety of different dishes throughout the evening, from mini quiches to bruschetta to stuffed mushrooms.
6 Local and Sustainable Ingredients: More and more couples are looking for ways to make their wedding more environmentally friendly, and that includes their food choices. By opting for locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, they can support local farms and reduce their carbon footprint.
6 Dessert Bars: Dessert bars are still a popular trend, with couples choosing to offer a variety of sweet treats rather than just a traditional wedding cake. Some of the most popular options include cupcakes, donuts, and gourmet cookies.
7 Signature Cocktails: Finally, couples are putting their own spin on the bar menu with signature cocktails. These might be based on their favourite spirits or ingredients or might reflect the theme of the wedding (such as a tropical-themed wedding with a pineapple margarita).
