21 Mouthwatering Gourmet Foods for Your Wedding
Food is one of the best ways to bring people together at your wedding, especially when it's worthy of a foodie's five-star rating. Not only does interesting food get people talking, but when small bites are brought to them by way of an attendant, it encourages non-stop mixing and mingling. (Think: they won't have to leave their social circle to stand in a food line!)
When thinking about your foodie menu, the most important factor to consider is seasonality. For example, late summer is the perfect time to count on the height of tomato season to deliver an amazing caprese salad. Your wedding season dictates what your freshest (aka most delicious and affordable!) options will be. Here are 21 of our favorite gourmet picks that are sure to be approved by even the most bourgie palettes.
