Forget "chicken or fish?" —wedding food no longer has to be boring. Flavor and presentation are equal players on these plates, even if the budget doesn’t allow for a celebrity chef. We eat with our eyes first, and serving a piece of crispy, buttery halibut on a paper plate just won’t cut it. Go a step further with your passed hors d'oeuvres and offer small bites in a soup spoon or an antipasto platter on wooden plank carving boards. Here are 10 of our favorite inspiration images of delicious food and stunning presentations.
1. Start off the evening with passed hors d'oeuvres that pack as much style as flavor. Ever thought of serving soup in a single-bite (or, slurp) spoon?
