Asian Wedding Food Ideas

Depending on how much food you want to serve your guests, you can go for Dimsum and Oolong tea or Makis and Japanese tea, or you can serve them the traditional Chinese wedding feast of at least 10 courses.

If you are opting for the latter, then your guests are in for a big meal. Depending on your budget, these 10 courses can include assorted meats, soup, fried pigeon, roasted duck, abalone, steamed fish, shrimp dish, crab, noodles, fried rice, and sweets.

Serve your dishes using plates with Chinese designs or you can just go for ordinary plates with solid colors. Be sure to include Chinese spoons, bowls, chopsticks and of course tea cups for your guests’ use.

For your wedding cake, we think that a cake with lotuses and dragons with a Double Happiness cake topper will be quite fitting. However, if you prefer a cake with a different design, just ensure that the right and lucky Chinese elements are included as part of your wedding cake decoration!

Tea is the official beverage on an Asian wedding, but serving fine wine is also part of the tradition and is definitely expected.

Beach Wedding Food Ideas

Eating fresh seafood is definitely one of the benefits of having a beach wedding and thus, your menu must include the best of the best of seafood dishes. You can serve the sea superstars, from lobsters to shrimp as your appetizers or part of your entrée. However, if you feel like adding some grilled meats in your beach wedding menu, that should also be fine.

Another way to approach your beach wedding food is to serve some of the more popular local fare. One of the fun things of having destination weddings is tasting your destination’s delicacies and we bet your guests and friends will appreciate this different food experience.

We love the idea of serving your dishes in coconut shells since that will really accentuate your chosen theme. If your guests are up to it, they could also eat their meal from Ti leaves, instead of plates and with all that wonderful seafood dishes, eating with just their bare hands will be more convenient and fun.

For your wedding cake, a cake designed with the different beach elements in mind will be perfect. You can also just get an ordinary wedding cake and just place a palm tree cake topper to turn it into a perfect beach-themed wedding cake.

You can serve some fresh coconut juice or other tropical fruit juice to wash all that wonderful meal down, but be sure to serve some cocktails for those who prefer more zing to their drinks.

Butterfly Wedding Food Ideas

Fresh salads and other cold food is a good idea, especially if you're having a hot summer wedding. So this means seafood cocktails like shrimp and oyster are great candidates. Cheese, crackers with some cool spreads, carrot and celery sticks with dips are also worth considering. Fresh fruits are great and refreshing especially during the summer so you will definitely want them as part of your menu. You can then conclude your meal with some cakes, pastries and other cold desserts.

If you absolutely love Japanese food and think your guests will appreciate them, then you might want to think of adding fresh sushi, maki and cold noodles in what you have prepared so far.

Another option is to prepare food popularly served on picnics. This means fried chicken, potato salad, finger sandwiches, chips and the like are welcome to your table.

For your wedding cake, a cake designed with tons of butterflies in all shapes and sizes will be perfect. You can also just get an ordinary wedding cake and just place a butterfly cake topper to turn it into a perfect theme-based wedding cake.

You can serve some fresh fruit juice and shakes to wash all that wonderful meal down, but be sure to serve some summer cocktails for those who prefer more zing to their drinks.

Celestial Wedding Food Ideas

With the advent of technology, space food nowadays includes chicken, beef, and seafood dishes, so any dishes that feature these will be welcome on any celestial wedding. Of course, since everything needs to be in bite size and ready to eat pieces, this means the kani equivalent is the better space food candidate than the actual crab with its shells and all. But as long as majority of your dishes follow the bite size rule, we don’t see any problem if you add a dish or two which requires some carving and deboning.

Macaroni and cheese and spaghetti are two of the popular space food goodies so they are worthy additions in your repertoire. Although the space equivalent means the just add water variety, we don’t see any problem if you go for the home-cooked and make from scratch equivalent.

If those ideas are not enough to complete your food repertoire, adding more calcium-rich dishes in your menu is the way to go. Or if you want to let your guests experience real space food, then this cheese tortellini is a must try.

Brownies are also popular in the space food arena. But since brownies are brownies, we think that letting your guests satisfy their sweet tooth by serving them astronaut ice cream is way cooler. That should add to the celestial feel you are aiming for.

For your wedding cake, you can either go for a very starry one and/or a cake full of nuts and dried fruits. If you want to go for a plain cake, then adding a silvery, gold, or in the shape of either moon or stars cake topper will transform any plain cake of your making into a celestial-themed one.

You can very well serve anything from lemonade to fruit punch for your wedding drinks, but adding some sparkling wine in the picture will make it just perfect.
