April-May 2013
Greetings!


Wedding receptions are all about serving up a unique experience for your guests. Here are five trends in wedding catering that will help create that WOW experience for your wedding day.

Delectable Desserts: 

By keeping items miniature,  you allow your guests to sample a variety of desserts without wasting food or your budget. Consider offering shot glasses filled with mousse, mini cookies with milkshakes or BPS signature cheesecake lollipops decorated with white or dark chocolate and edible glitter.

 Build it yourself Bar:  

Requests for menus this season include the always popular New Mexican taco or fajitas station, mashed  potato bars,  or ice cream sundae bars and S'more stations where guests can create their own delights.

 Healthy Helpings: 
Vegetarian or organic fare is not just a trend, but a way of life for many so including or featuring healthy options that are fresh and light does not have to be boring. Let Blue Plate create a healthy wedding menu to suit your style.

Late Night:
 For late night receptions adding some breakfast items before guests depart such as French toast, crepes or burritos.   Even miniaturized morning eats being passed around on platters give a fancier "hors d'oeuvre" feel.

Colorful Cocktails: 

 Your wedding color themes need not be limited to the flowers and linens. Your beverage service, both alcoholic and non alcoholic, can be creative, colorful and served in unique glassware for a fun and festive refresher.  

 We suggest a Mango Jalapeno Margarita!
