Family Style Menus

One of the big trends for catering is family style menus. They're perfect for any size wedding or event, and can help get your guests talking.

The concept behind family style service is that each table gets large plates. The guests serve themselves from these big dishes, much like they would at home.

Family style service has been popular in restaurants for years, and it's now becoming seen much more often in event catering. It can give your guests a chance to interact in a way they might not otherwise. By asking each other to pass dishes, it can quickly break the ice.

It can also give you a simpler service than serving each guest individually, and it can allow you to put out fewer dishes than in a buffet. It can also speed up service so you don't have the last served waiting for ages while everyone else is chowing down.

Rustic weddings make a comeback

As you may have seen in the fashion world the rustic / vintage scene is coming back in style...which means that weddings will follow suit.  As we perused the internet for inspiration we found some great rustic wedding ideas and wanted to share them with you:

Rustic-themed weddings have a simple, country feel and often use color palettes drawn from nature. Using simple glassware, antique wooden boxes and picture frames can be upscaled by glamorous table settings.

Wine corks stand in as place-card holders and add a playful touch to vineyard-themed weddings.

Furnished barns or storage areas at vineyards can make unique spaces for wedding receptions, and emphasize the theme.

When it comes to a rustic wedding and the food to be served think Italian, seaside, casual elegance and organic dining.

What do you think?  Will you fall in suit with the upcoming rustic wedding trend?
