Updated May 15, 202415 Delicious Southern Wedding Food Ideas
You won't hear a single guest complaining about fried chicken and biscuits—we promise.
No southern wedding would be complete without a few traditional regional delicacies on your reception menu. Think: fried green tomato caprese salad, homemade biscuits and shrimp and grits. And don't forget refreshments! Iced tea and lemonade stations are the perfect way to keep guests cool during warmer summer months.
If you love southern food but your wedding is taking place elsewhere, don't be afraid to bring the south to you—like this cool wedding in Brooklyn, NY that served fried chicken, catfish, mac and cheese and biscuits! No matter where your wedding location is, no one ever complains about pulled pork sliders.
