When the wedding takes place, the waste, of course, is big. In order to really reduce them, instead of the usual restaurant feast, you can offer guests buffet tables set in a garden, park, country cafe, etc. At the same time, several birds with one stone are “killed”. The celebration takes place in a non-standard, relaxed atmosphere, the newlyweds and guests feel more free, which means people are really having fun. And even if you rented a banquet hall, a boring sitting according to strict regulations with a change of dishes will pass you too. You can dance, play each other and guests, participate in competitions - everything will turn out very even at ease and from the heart. And in order to satisfy hunger and thirst, one can always have a meal with delicious dishes and drinks.
Serving Features
To serve a
buffet table for a wedding, you will need a certain amount of imagination and creativity. Firstly, everything should be beautiful, elegant, elegant - to match the triumph. It is good that tablecloths and napkins are designed in the same color scheme and overall style. For example, matched the bride’s bouquet. Draperies with ribbons and bows, shuttlecocks along the edges of the tablecloths should emphasize the festive atmosphere. You can decorate the buffet table for the wedding with small bouquets of flowers - so that they do not interfere with guests to take food. Or put out baskets of flowers and fruits. And when it’s late in the evening, use flashlights like Chinese or some other unusual design, for example, candles in caps. Thanks to them, your buffet table will become very attractive.
