Not Your Typical Bar – Foodie Inspiration for Weddings and Events

Probably the best thing about planning a reception is the opportunity to be creative with food. As a self proclaimed foodie, I can’t help but get excited at the prospect. There are so many different fun ways to serve food that will make your guest’s eyes light up in surprise and wonder. And really, what are the three most memorable things about a wedding? Topping that list has to be number one: the couple (of course!), number two: the decor and following in a close third: the food! Now specifically  we’re talking about the bar at a reception. But not just the typical beverage bar…much better than that! From your candy bar to your pizza bar, this post will give every diehard foodie the inspiration to make their wedding reception dreams come true!
