Choosing to have a Winter Wonderland wedding is a great idea! The pictures of your celebration would be the best. You’ll also be more apt to have a romantic and intimate event. Selecting the right menu for your Winter Wonderland wedding is equally as important.
One of the tops things people look forward to at a wedding is the food. If you don’t get it right with your wedding menu, your guests won’t have a good time. In this article, we’re sharing with you some lovely food ideas that you could serve at your winter wonderland wedding. We’ll talk about the general things to focus on and then give you some good examples.
- Comfort Food
Think warm winter foods. Your wedding is in the winter, after all. When it comes to comfort foods, the first thing to remember is bread—preferably served warm like from the oven with butter. Mac and cheese are also a favorite, and these timeless classics are sure to delight and instill a sense of togetherness.
- Cheese Is Good for A Winter Wonderland Wedding
When it comes to your Winter Wonderland wedding, cheese is an all-round winner. Cheese fondue, a cheese course, a cheese bar, or the traditional cheeseboard. Warm, melty cheese is a must.
- Fermented Food
We’ve already mentioned cheese twice, but there are also preserved vegetables, yogurt, beer, and wine. Pickled vegetables, mushrooms, and cabbage are also great ideas that you should look into serving.
- Vegetarian or Vegan
More and more people are going meat-free, so vegetarian/vegan meals are also becoming popular. Using fresh veggies is a great way to bring holiday colors to your menu and forget the tasty meat and cheese replacements. How about a creamy roasted butternut squash soup or mushroom wellington?
- The Bar
For your Winter Wonderland bar, mulled wine, cider punch, pumpkin spice with white Russians, and hot buttered rum are great. Also, add some spirits, and don’t forget the hot chocolate.
Now that you have those general classes of food in mind, here are some lovely unique food ideas for your Winter Wonderland wedding.
- Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup
With this idea, you’ll be taking a classic cold-weather food and adapting it for your wedding. Serve these in small cocktail sizes, and you’ll delight your guests. It’ll bring up homely memories and fun.
- Snowy Milkshake
This milkshake is an excellent idea for your dessert. An all-white vanilla milkshake is not only delicious; it’ll go perfectly with the Winter Wonderland theme of your wedding. You can add a sugar snowflake on top too.
- S’ mores
S’ mores are a great idea at a wedding and an even better idea for one that is Winter Wonderland themed. They are a fun and interactive option that can be used in many ways. Your guests can roast it over a campfire if it’s safe enough at your wedding. You can also send guests home with it as wedding favors.
- Charcuterie Spreads
Keep your guests satiated through your wedding by having charcuterie spreads made available at different times. They can be served before dinner and even made available as a late-night snack. Charcuterie spreads are easy to share and are a great way to represent the holiday season at your wedding.
- Pasta
Pasta is an excellent idea for a winter wedding. They are too heavy for a wedding in the spring or the summer. You can serve something rich like ravioli bursting with cheese and veggies. Your guests will love digging into it.
- Macaroni-and-Cheese Bites
This option is a cloud pleaser and is the last option on our list of unique food ideas for your Winter Wonderland wedding. You could also adapt this idea to your wedding by shrinking down the size.
Whichever of these options you go for, remember to ask your caterers input on making it better for your wedding. Happy planning!!!
