Things to keep in mind when choosing a menu for a Western wedding
To organize a perfect wedding, it is not only necessary to pay attention to factors such as costumes, location, wedding flowers, but also to choose a menu that suits the style and preferences of the bride and groom as well as the guests. (Photo: TL)
Wedding is one of the most important and grand events in everyone's life. To organize a perfect wedding, you not only need to pay attention to factors such as costumes, location, wedding flowers, but also need to choose a menu that suits the style and preferences of the bride and groom as well as the guests. In particular, if you want to organize a Western-style wedding, you need to pay attention to the following:
- When planning a wedding menu, you need to have three complete parts: Appetizer, main course and dessert.
- Choose a light, bland appetizer to stimulate the taste buds of your guests.
- Create a delicious party menu full of protein and rich flavors.
- A light and delicate dessert that helps balance the taste buds after the main course.
- Diversify the menu, do not choose many similar dishes at the same time such as beef, buffalo meat, veal... with the same preparation method.
- The menu should be chosen to suit the tastes of the majority of guests. Do not choose dishes that are too regional in nature that many people cannot eat.
- Prepare just enough food, balanced to avoid excess and waste.
- Do not eat dishes that Southern people believe bring bad luck such as: sour soup, bitter soup and fish sauce. Because this is the wedding day, people avoid anything that evokes bitterness, sourness and has a strong smell.
