7 Scrumptious Wedding Food Ideas

One of the things your wedding guests look forward to the most at your celebration is the selection of food that hits their taste buds during cocktail hour and the reception. This is why curating your menu for the big day not only requires quality time, but it also provides you with an opportunity to try out your picks months before the wedding.

If you’re wondering how to spice up your offerings and serve delicious and unique options on your guests plates, take a look at these seven wedding food trends that you can expect to see in 2022.

More Plant-Based Options

When picking out food items with your caterer, it can feel overwhelming to decide which options are right for you and your guests. In 2022, more couples are adding on extra plant-based choices to go along with an increase in guests who are opting out of meat or enjoy having more vegetarian options.

Edible Flowers

One wedding food twist that’s going to take over 2022 involves edible flowers. This garnish will not only be used in cocktails, but on cakes, salads, and other hors d'oeuvres as well. That will definitely stand out and attract your guests’ attention!

Grazing Tables

If you want to opt out of expensive stations or passing around appetizers during cocktail hour, a new and popular option is to have a large grazing table. You can ask your caterer to include meats, crackers, cheese, nuts, pretzels, and anything that’s easy for your guests to devour before the reception.

Couple’s Choice Over Traditional

While many people just go with the caterer's recommendations, in 2022, couples are saying yes to swapping out traditional reception meals (steak, chicken, fish, etc.) for their favorite cuisine, like pizza, Mexican food or sushi.

Dessert Trucks

Rather than have a large wedding cake that can feed double the amount of guests you have there, food trucks are making a comeback in 2022. This time, the trucks are themed all around dessert! Couples are using the cash they’d normally spend on cake or a dessert bar for food trucks with their favorite sweet treats (ice cream, donuts, cupcakes, etc.).

Seasonal Cuisine

One special way couples customize their wedding is by planning the cuisine around the season. In 2022, rather than having a generic menu, they are working with food providers to source seasonal, local, and fresh ingredients.

Late Night Snacks To-Go

A fun and practical food trend for 2022 involves combining party favors with late night snacks. Rather than ordering pizza at midnight for guests, couples are packing up snack bags or to-go meals for people to grab as they head out and the big night comes to an end.
