As long as I can remember, summer has been considered the official ?wedding season.? But these days, more and more couples are embracing the colder half of the year for their nuptials; in fact, October (a month that?s squarely in the middle of fall) has become the most popular time to tie the knot!
There are loads of benefits to getting married in the fall or winter? cheaper venue and vendor rates, gorgeous décor from Mother Nature, the list goes on?but one of my favorite benefits is the wide range of comfort foods you get to offer your guests. Now that winter is fast-approaching, let?s take a look at some of the warm, home-y dishes your guests can enjoy at a winter wedding cocktail hour.
Soup Shooters
Soup is a classic winter meal?arguably the perfect winter meal. It?s warm, it?s rich, and it sticks to your bones! Who wouldn?t want a dish like that on a chilly winter evening" Well, it seems that many couples (and their caterers) are on the same page, as hors d’oeuvre-style soup has become a popular fixture on many winter wedding menus. But how do you make soup an hors d?oeuvre" Easy: shrink down your serving size! A little shooter-sized cup of butternut squash or tomato soup (maybe with a grilled cheese finger sandwich for dipping) is easy to carry around and sip while you mingle with your guests. This is also a great option if you?re planning on a long break between cocktails and dinner, as it will keep your guests feeling full a little longer.
