Outstanding Springtime Appetizers~
Kick off the meal with seasonally accented hors d’oeuvres. We love the idea of serving single poached quail eggs on demitasse spoons. Another to try: mini egg souffles. You can also evoke a springtime theme with your salad course. Skip the iceberg; instead, go for mixed baby greens or mesclun, which have more of a fresh, straight-from-the-garden appeal. Adding a fruity element, like a few berries or a fruit-infused vinaigrette, will also play up the seasonal vibe.
Enticing Springtime Entrees~
For your main course, keep things on the lighter side — skip the heavier fare associated with the winter months. Take popular wedding staples, like chicken or fish, and give them a seasonal touch by choosing entrees that bring in fresh herbs, like rosemary and mint.
Another way to bring a hint of spring to any entree is to garnish your plate. Choose a selection of cooked baby vegetables or asparagus spears, which are at their peak, or add a seriously spring-like touch with an edible flower, like a pansy or orchid.
Delectable Springtime Desserts~
We love the idea of giving guests monogrammed petit fours or colorful French-style macaroons. White chocolate-dipped strawberries, which are in season, are another sweet idea. No matter what you choose, play up the time of year by leaning toward lighter flavors like vanilla, lemon, and berry.
