What unique and memorable delicacies can you serve in your wedding?

 

 

When it comes to a wedding, food has always been part of the factors that contribute to a celebration that is truly spectacular. There is nothing like the feeling of being united in holy matrimony with your lover coupled with a number of good and delectable food around you.

In addition, when it comes to the food that will be dished out at your wedding, the enjoyment of your guests serve as one of the topmost priorities in this momentous occasion. It is expected that the food served meets the tastes of your guests – ranging from appetizers, the entrees, even right down to the desserts. Luckily, there are a variety of food choices out there both for you and your guests to enjoy.

When it comes to food choices for your wedding, there are two aspects that come with it. First, there are the more standardized choices of wedding food such as pasta, finger food, and the iconic multiple-tiered wedding cake. Then, there are the more unique, unorthodox choices that you wouldn’t expect to make it to a grand occasion such as a wedding. If you are looking for inspiration and ideas to widen your scope on wedding food choices, here are 30 of them that are ready to be served to you:

Doughnuts

These frosty treats are just some of the unique choices available for your wedding. To make it more interesting, stack your doughnuts into elaborate towers to form an entirely new kind of wedding cake.

Pizzas

These savory foods are all over the internet and in people’s minds as well. Everyone loves pizza – no matter what toppings are on it. So, if you want your guests to eat something massive using just their hands, include this in your menu.

Potato Chips

These snacks go well with just about anything, even with a bottle of beer. What’s more are the array of dips available for your chips, thus, adding more thrill with every dip and every bite.

Assorted Popcorn

There is nothing like the feeling of watching something – especially a grand wedding – unfold with a bucket of popcorn at hand. But an assortment of flavors to go along with it? Even better!

Ice Cream Sundae Bar

This is for every sweet-tooth that has come to witness a celebration of love and unity. While this is usually geared for children, this treat is also for the young at heart. What’s even better are the variety of toppings and ice cream flavors available for you to choose from – making this one a food choice for all ages.

Tacos

These shelled delicacies are loved by many ‘foodies’ alike, not just for their hard and soft shells, but for the variety of fillings you can put into it. To make it more interesting, don’t just limit this dish meat and other savory ingredients. Have you ever heard of a dessert taco? Yup, they are a thing and are guaranteed to make your wedding day a whole lot more exciting.

Burritos

Speaking of Mexican treats, this food choice also made the cut for their widespread popularity. Burritos are the kind of food that entices you to devour the entire thing. In addition, you can even stuff it with meat, veggies, and rice – making it a meal wrapped into one. With a day as special as your wedding and a dish like this, what’s not to love?

Barbecue

In the Philippines, this dish is quite popular due to their savory and aromatic flavors. There’s no better feeling like the mouth-watering desire for a marinated meat that is skewed on sticks. Just remember to save the best bit for last, otherwise known as the ‘fat’.

Ramen

Japanese Cuisine has always remained a staple option for those who wish to dine out. If you are looking to conceptualize your wedding day into something extraordinary and diverse, why not add Ramen to your menu? It is always served hot, has a long list of toppings, and there are a lot of other kinds of ramen to have for your special day. This food is truly a unique addition to the celebration of your holy matrimony.

Sushi

The second of Japanese delicacies to make it into this list, this dish makes a great addition to your appetizers. Sushi can be prepared in a lot of ways, either rolled or stacked.

Shawarmas

This is the burrito’s more “exposed” relative. The reason why it is exposed is because, unlike the burrito, you can see what is inside without breaking the shell. Plus, you can eat this dish with a spoon, going for the meat first and then saving the shell for last.

This is more for a tableside thing. While waiting for the food to be served or if you are just craving for something sweet, feel free to grab a piece. If you wish to make it more extravagant, don’t be afraid to hire professionals to make the candy for the celebration. Additionally, widen your scope when it comes to this dish – whether it be gumdrops or lollipops.

Since Barbecue was already discussed, it is time to move on to the more ‘intricate’ kind. Ribs are the kind of food that makes you want to get your hands dirty for the sauce. Just don’t forget to put on a napkin before you eat.

Steaks

Whether it be medium-rare, medium-well, or well-done – you can never go wrong with anything related to steak.

This is more than just a side dish, it is an icon of classic outdoors dining. With this on your menu, you will never hesitate to ask for it every second.

Kimchi
