Caprese skewers with balsamic drizzle
Easy to eat caprese skewers are the perfect treat for summer weddings. Enjoy fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, perfectly presented like a kebab.
One of the best ways to add to your summer theme is by having a BBQ station. Keep things simple by cooking up mini burgers and offering guests a choice of toppings such as bacon, cheese, onions and all the sauces.
Sushi is fresh, light and the ideal appetiser when the sun is in the sky. This can be served on a tray during cocktail hour and be tailored to your guests tastes. Be sure to ask guests whether they eat raw fish before your wedding. And if they don’t, provide a veggie or meat-based option.
Main Courses
As for the main, here are some delicious ideas.
Grilled corn on the cob, smothered with butter and sprinkled with oregano is super tasty. This can be served on its own or with meat from the BBQ such as chicken or pork.
While pizza might be a bit heavy for a summer wedding, flatbread alternatives are lighter and just as tasty. Provide a selection of toppings from margaritas to more indulgent options such as goats cheese with caramelised red onions.
If you’re looking for a summer dish suitable for vegetarians, pesto pasta is ideal. This can be served on its own or as a salad with lettuce, vegan cheese, tomatoes and more.
Desserts
To top it all off, why not surprise your guests with a selection of delicious desserts?
British strawberries are at their best in summer. So take advantage of this by serving up a beautifully presented cheesecake loaded with fresh strawberries. You can even opt for cheesecake bites that don’t require a spoon or fork.
Macarons are light desserts that are easy to eat and extremely tasty. There’s a whole range of colour and flavour options to choose from and you could have fun sampling your menu.
Want to add some theatre to your big day? Then a crepe station is perfect. Watch as a professional crepe maker whips up the treat of your choice.
