Spring is a magical season to celebrate love at a wedding. With its fresh produce and vibrant colors, it’s the perfect time to create a wedding menu that will delight your guests’ taste buds. Here are five seasonal elements to include in your menu for an unforgettable gastronomic experience.
-
Fresh Asparagus
Fresh asparagus is one of the gems of Spring. Its flavor and crunchy texture make it a perfect choice for a light appetizer. Try them in a Spring salad with juicy strawberries and fresh goat cheese, or in a creamy velouté enhanced with fresh mint for an extra touch of freshness.
-
Spring Vegetables
Spring vegetables like peas, radishes, baby carrots, and fava beans are perfect for adding color and freshness to your wedding menu. Use them in dishes such as creamy asparagus and wild mushroom risotto, or a sautéed medley of Spring vegetables as a side dish for poultry.
-
Fresh Herbs
Seasonal fresh herbs add a touch of aroma and flavor to any dish. Use them to flavor your main courses, such as marinated chicken breast with Spring herbs, or to garnish your cocktails and beverages, like a refreshing mojito with fresh mint for a revitalizing note.
-
Sweet Strawberries
Strawberries are the undisputed stars of Spring. Their vibrant color and sweet flavor make them an irresistible choice for wedding desserts. Use them to top a crispy rhubarb tartlet, serve them with light whipped cream, or incorporate them into a refreshing cocktail for the welcome drink.
-
Edible Flowers
Edible flowers are an elegant way to add a touch of sophistication to your wedding menu. Use them to decorate your dishes or incorporate them into cocktails and desserts. Opt for varieties such as rose petals, violet, or lavender for a subtle and romantic floral touch.
Let yourself be inspired by the colors and flavors of the season to create a menu that reflects the love and joy of this special time of year.
