The way to win a person’s heart is through delicious food. That’s why impressive wedding menus are very important to leave a lasting impression on your guests.
Gone are those times when it was easy to impress your wedding guests with DIY fruit bars or extensive buffet spreads. Authentic regional cuisines are now making all the rage for modern Indian weddings. Guests are also craving to taste exotic delicacies of global flavours from Korean, Japanese, or Nordic regions. This new season in Indian wedding menus is more about authenticity in food and less about shallow gimmicky food showcases. This blog, created by Team Wedding Affair, will explore more about these trends in wedding food catering.

Mehendi and Sangeet
For these casual and fun wedding ceremonies when everyone is busy showcasing their moves on the dance floor and many ladies are twirling with their mehendi–drying hands, they would need something light and easy to munch on between these fun festivities to keep them going. So, for these fun wedding ceremonies, it is advisable to include deconstructed salads and easy-to-eat chaat preparations in the menu that will also go well with the alcohol of the party. As it is a pretty casual affair, having pre-dining sushi and dim sum stations is also acceptable. The key to a successful menu in these casual ceremonies is to serve them in small portions.
Wedding Dinner
Wedding dinner is the time when everyone at the wedding sits down and interacts with each other while enjoying all the culinary delicacies on the wedding menu. It is quite important to leave an impressive impact on your wedding guests as it is the main wedding function. Everyone is looking to provide a different experience through their wedding food to their guests. That’s why, relying on the popular trends of the past is not going to work for your wedding. Many wedding catering specialists have shared that including local chefs in their catering team has benefited them a lot in impressing the guests with authentic and local flavours. Fusion food menus featuring two completely different cuisines are also in the rage right now.
