Inspiring Wedding Food at a Glance

Shared by June Hoffman of Megasound

Wedding food should be an extension of the bride and groom's styles and personalities. Riki Altman of Love Bites (from Miami New Times) shared a wonderful wedding review of Miami Chef Sean Bernal and his bride Natalie. The Sanford, Florida wedding reception sounded lovely and sunny (as Fort Wayne is still in dreary weather mode). When it came the food, the menu just made you drool when you read it (let alone the photos).

Couples shouldn't be afraid to incorporate childhood favorites, grandma's best recipe, or other ethnic dishes as a part of their reception feast. Check with your caterer to make sure that recreating these tasteful gems is practical and cost effective on a large scale. If not, consider sharing these treats at the rehearsal dinner or post-wedding brunch.
