Chicken or Steak? Not anymore! The winter season is the perfect time to serve exciting and new dishes to your wedding guests. With a touch of flair and a good dose of creativity, your wedding reception will be a fun and tasty affair.

• Think small yet satisfying. Take your favorite winter foods and shrink them down to manageable sizes. Pumpkin pie tarts, simple soups, and entrees served at appetizer size are all great treats for your wedding guests.
• Mix it up. Pair unique flavors to stimulate the senses. How about a dessert of vanilla pudding with crushed candy canes, served in a martini glass? Try an orange-cranberry relish for a sense of the holiday season.
• Do-it-themselves. You can create stylish serving stations so guests can customize their wedding meal. Try a variety of pastas, sauces, and vegetables, so your guests will pleased no matter what their tastes.
• Warm their spirits. Serve your favorite hot drinks of the season, including warm apple cider, hot chocolate, or coffee. These can be further customized with flavored syrups, whipped cream, or garnishes for additional winter flair. Serve in stylish to-go glasses, so your wedding guests can stay warm on the road home.
