Traditional Wedding Menu Ideas
Traditional wedding menus can vary depending on the couple's cultural and personal preferences, but here are a few ideas to consider:
- Appetizers: shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, cheese and fruit platter, deviled eggs, mini quiches
- Salad: mixed greens with a vinaigrette dressing, Caesar salad, spinach salad with strawberries and feta
- Soup: butternut squash soup, cream of mushroom, lobster bisque
- Entrees: roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, salmon with dill sauce, chicken marsala, vegetarian lasagna
- Sides: mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, wild rice pilaf
- Dessert: wedding cake, fruit tarts, cheesecake, mini cupcakes
It's also common to include a champagne toast and a selection of wines to go with the meal. Some couples may choose to incorporate ethnic dishes or family recipes into the menu to add a personal touch.
