Making Lasting Memories and Food

A wedding is truly a special time in the bride and groom’s life. A wedding is a life moment that will be in a treasured memory for the rest of the person’s life, from the day the groom proposes to the day the bride says I do. This is the magical time period that is setting the stage for the rest of their lives together and it is important that as it prepares for that curtain to be drawn up it is doing so in a way that is equally elegant and magical.

That is why it is so important that everything is designed with the bride and groom in mind. There is a profound importance in the finer traditions that withstand the test of time, however the ultimate truth regarding the nature of a wedding is that they all should be centered around the two people for which it is happening. It needs to represent who they are and serve as a platform for their fondest memories.

When it comes to the food that you serve for both the wedding reception and the wedding itself, it is important that this understanding is maintained. Caviar for one couple may be the perfect match, whereas basic finger foods are equally as appropriate, and not vice versa.

There are an endless supply of recipes and dish ideas and again the main idea is to ensure that the bride and groom’s wishes and interests are equally followed. If they do enjoy caviar, then try a crisp potato made wafer, called a gaufrette, and topped with smoked salmon, is a perfect fit. It can have a bit of appropriate sauce made from dill and crème fraiche added for additional taste. This is light but tasty idea for a delicate but elegant finger food.

For those who don’t want caviar and other more high dollar dishes, there are many simple recipes that can complement the style and tastes of the couple. This can include favorites such as using cutter round crackers as a crust inside a muffin wrapper. You can fill the wrapper with quiche and bake it. You can also make cream cheese and green olive filled cheese balls as well, and then roll them in nuts that have been crushed. Add a little parsley or other toppings to give it some style.

Ultimately the main thing to remember is that in the end it doesn’t have to be caviar to be elegant, and it doesn’t have to be simple to be easy. The main focus needs to be on the happy couple. This is their day and those who are helping make it special are participating in crafting a lifelong memory for those that they care about.
