We love these super-stylish black round stoke plates and oh-so chic sea plates. THE PICNIC WEDDING Rebecca says: “Plentiful table picnics are a perfect meal for an al fresco summer wedding. Think Kilner jars of fresh salads, local cheeses, ham, potted salmon and scones, with clotted cream and our homemade strawberry jam served on a vintage three-tier stand with fresh local strawberries.” A milestone menu for the Mr &Mrs Let’s be honest, we’ve all been to a wedding at which we’ve had to endure dry chicken on a bed of barely boiled veg. The goal would undoubtedly have been to please everyone despite managing to please no one at all. Admittedly, extreme cuisine is perhaps best avoided, but your caterer will still be able to pack a flavour punch if permitted to be a bit adventurous. If a formal three-course wedding breakfast is what you’re hankering after, then there are some stunning options out there. But equally, you should feel free to deviate from tradition if it doesn’t work with your vision for the day.

Side dishes of vegetables, breads or salads are served in the centre of the table, giving guests a talking point and allowing them to break the ice comfortably.” pinkpigcatering.co.uk fabfoodforyou.co.uk fabfoodforyou.co.uk fabfoodforyou.co.uk
