2017 Wedding Food Trends We’re Craving

No bride wants her wedding to be known for cold, yucky and stereotypical “wedding food.” So we’re here to help you out. Check out these mouth-watering wedding food trends that we’re positive your guests will rave about for years to come.

1. Food Trucks


If you’re looking for a new and different way to feed your wedding guests, food trucks are the way to go. From grilled cheese to cupcakes to burgers to ice cream to bbq, and everything in between, food trucks give your guests variety and an easy way to get food. Our stomachs are growling for this wedding food trend. Oh and just think of how beyond cool your photos will be!

2. Say Cheese


We love us a great cheese plate – and what better way to keep guests fed while taking pictures than with some yummy cheeses, crisp fruits, fresh breads and salty meats. Also, can we talk about the amazing take on the “cheesecake?” We are seriously in love with it and really hope all the weddings we go to this season have one of these cheese smorgasbords. No pressure 2017 brides.

3. Taco Bar


This food trend really gives us something to taco bout (see what we did there?)! I mean, who doesn’t love tacos. They are basically our favorite food, so why not have them at your wedding? Let guests build their own with options – such as chicken or pulled pork, with allllllllll the yummy toppings. Our mouths are watering. Just make sure you grab extra napkins!

4. Different Desserts


Skip the wedding cake and go a different way. Need some ideas? We have plenty – from donuts to mini-pies to mason jar desserts – we promise your guests are sure to love your unique idea. I mean, who can say no to a wall full of deliciously-glazed donuts? Definitely not us, that’s for sure.

5. Comfort Foods


Stay down home with delicious comfort foods at your wedding. We’re thinking grilled cheese, chicken and waffles, mac and cheese, fries, shrimp and grits, bbq, fish and chips…we could go on and on and on. Whether you choose to do this for your main course, or go the mini food route for your cocktail hour, everyone is going to love the menu!

Chicken & Waffles. 'Nuff said.

6. Carnival Food


Whimsical weddings are so much fun – from the atmosphere to the food, embrace the quirk of the carnival! We’re thinking a popcorn bar, funnel cake desserts, cotton candy food truck, ice cream sundaes or a pretzel line are beyond perfect for your wedding. Seriously, how fun can this idea be? Go crazy with it! Don’t know about you – but we’re excited!

I mean, who wouldn't want cotton candy on their wedding day? #wedding #Minnesota #popcornchicken
