Detroit Wedding Caterer Offers Menu Ideas for Fall WeddingsPumpkins, apples, squash, cider, and more; What could be a tastier time than fall? The season of harvest is the perfect time to plan a wedding and celebrate all the flavors and colors it has to offer. Consider planning a farm-to-table event and using the beautiful bounty already provided for us in nature.

Here are 3 ideas for what to serve your guests at your mouth-watering, fall wedding:

1. The Great Pumpkin

Plan your wedding menu to be centered around the star of the vegetable patch: the great pumpkin. Speak with a professional Detroit caterer and ask them to use pumpkins in every single dish, from the appetizers to dinner to dessert. Pumpkins can be made into a creamy sauce with pasta, made into a hearty soup, and used as a dipping sauce for meat and veggies. Dessert is a little more obvious in where pumpkins can be incorporated, and include: pumpkin pie, cookies, and pumpkin flavored cake. Want to make the sweets at your wedding more exciting? Consider having miniature pumpkin pies on sticks and having your baker create a cinnamon-pumpkin latte inspired cake.

2. Apples To Apples

Much like pumpkin, apples are very versatile and can used in a number of dishes. From the hors d’oeuvres to the main course, apples can sweeten up and bring a pop of flavor to any combination of food. Apples pair excellently with chicken and fish, as well as make an unexpected topping on a steak. Not to mention, apples would make for an elegant table topping to tie the decor and menu together. For dessert, consider including mini apple pies on your menu, as well as apple-flavored cakes pops, apple-cinnamon donuts, and a sweet apple martini for an after-dinner aperitif.

3. Cider And Wine Tasting

A fun and unusual element to consider having at your fall wedding would be to have poured cider and wine tastings at a designated area. Adding an unexpected detail such as this will really set your wedding apart from the rest and make it anything but “cookie-cutter.” Hard apple cider and wine are just a few of the season’s many flavors, and having a cider-wine tasting bar is an excellent way to celebrate these flavors and make them the center of your wedding. If you live in an area with wineries and cider houses, consider using local brewers/wine makers to make the tasting a tribute to your wedding location. As the night progresses and temperatures dip lower, serve hot apple cider to warm everyone up and continue on with the autumn theme.
