Food Trends Outside the Box

Coffee by Coffee Artista

With innovative menu trends on the rise, think brunch weddings and picnic parties, it’s no surprise that caterers are offering a variety of selections to serve during your special day, from your cocktail hour to the cake cutting! Have some fun with your wedding menu and don’t be afraid to spice it up. It’s all about getting creative and finding something both you and your guests will love; the possibilities are endless!

• Coffee carts and bars are new in the wedding trend scene, and for good reason! Start an early reception with a matcha latte or indulge in a cup of chai tea before your send-off. Customize your drinks for an energetic experience!

• What goes better with coffee than donuts! Fluffy and sweet, donuts are perfect for a brunch reception and dinner party alike. Decorate with a donut wall and ditch the dessert plates and fork, all you need is a napkin to enjoy this tasty treat.
  
• Looking for a fresh take on desserts? Pie and pastry bars are a popular choice. Decorate with a dessert table and include your favorite miniature treats from tarts to empanadas.

• On the savory side, consider an artesian cheese station for your cocktail hour. With charcuterie boards rising in popularity, keep your wedding on-trend with cheese varieties paired with smoked meats, crackers, and a glass of wine.

• Let’s not forget the kids! If your reception invites children to be part of the fun, entertain them with a popcorn machine and toppings, or a churro bar to fuel their excitement.

• When the reception is over but the party is still going, have a late-night snack or a traditional tornaboda. Satisfy a sweet craving with a raspa cart, or enjoy sizzling street tacos from a food truck, a perfect homage to the RGV community!
