Victorian Wedding Foods

Although Victorian wedding menu usually just includes tea and scones, you can definitely go beyond this. If your wedding reception is for lunch or dinner, this usually includes soup, fruits or salad, the main course and dessert. The soup is usually of the thick variety, while the main course are usually salmon, chicken, beef, lamb or fowl cooked in a sauce of some sort. Serving hot and cold meats, lobster patties, cheese, and fruit tarts are also popular and are worthy additions.

Serving specialty food like sweetbreads, foie gras, and caviar can also be another approach to your Victorian wedding food.

Serve your dishes using porcelain or crystal platters. Your guests can eat from similar porcelain plates. You can either go for printed plates or just go for more solid designs. Just ensure that your plates do not clash with your other table decoration.

The traditional Victorian wedding involves three cakes, the actual wedding cake, the bride cake and the groom cake. The wedding cake is usually a rich fruitcake with elaborate white frosting. The bride and groom cake are less grand, wherein the former is white while the latter is dark, usually chocolate flavor.

Be sure to serve fine wines. And if you’re guests are up to it, offer them a cup or two of their favorite tea blend to make everything perfect!

Western Wedding Foods

Bbqd and grilled dishes are the perfect candidates for your western wedding food. Steak and fish are just some of the goodies that you can barbecue.

If you are going for more casual meals, any dish that is popularly served on barbecues could be part of your menu. Hotdogs, corn on cob, hamburger are just a few examples. Dishes with beans are also worth adding.

Serve your dishes using stoneware dining sets or if you don’t have them, any plates with right western designs are also good candidates. However, if you’re going for the elegance that plain white plates can bring, feel free to do so.

Your wedding cake can come in brown, which is the perfect excuse to have a chocolate wedding cake. But going for the traditional white and just decorating it with white icings and adding a cowboy couple cake topper will also be fine.

Amidst all your wine and brandies, be sure to serve some draft beer and root beer to further accentuate your guests’ western experience.
