Family Traditions and Heritages tie in with
Culinary Secrets
By Kathy
(Karousos) Gillet
Your engagement is a
time of great opportunity. It is during this time that you get to live out some
of your childhood dreams whether it's picking a dress that makes you
feel like a princess or writing the vows that you and your prince charming will
recite. It is a time when you and your family come together to make every
detail of your impending celebration perfect. Your parents are an indispensable
part of your wedding. Their personal tastes and beliefs will have an effect on
your planning stages. This is the period of time when a bride and groom
cultivate a new bond between the family, their family traditions and their
heritages.
Wedding cuisine has become very sophisticated in recent
years. The wedding meal has evolved into creatively prepared culinary delights
with unusual ingredients and an eye toward presentation. When preparing the
menu for the wedding, it becomes a time when families come together and
incorporate their family traditions and heritages. For instance a hearty kale
soup (preferably grandmother's recipe) to an aunt's recipe for traditional
pastries and cookies or in my case- dad's famous recipe for baklava would be
served with coffee or tea.
In wedding day conversation, the meat ranks with how
lovely the bride and groom looked, to the arrangements used to accent the
tables and how memorable the reception was. Whether guests congregate around
the cheese and fruit display and marvel at the ice sculptures, or comparing
their baked stuffed swordfish entrée to their guests grilled filet
mignon with béarnaise or gaze in amazement at the vast dessert
selections at the dessert buffet, the cuisine will indeed be a hot topic of the
evening.
From a formal sit down dinner in the fanciest ballrooms and
stateliest mansions to an open air affair in your backyard garden adding the
warm personal touch to the celebration will depend on what is called "setting
the scene." The food you choose will also set the tone for your party. Whether
you choose to have a buffet or sit-down service depends in part on the type of
party you're planning. A sit down dinner is definitely more formal. When people
get all dressed up to attend a formal wedding, they want to be waited on. A sit
down dinner is also generally best for a couple with a lot of older guests',
who usually prefer not to wait in buffet lines, although buffet lines help
create a more sociable atmosphere. Another way to create a more social
atmosphere would be to have several food stations situated throughout one or
several designated food areas opened for a certain time period. This
allows guests to get their food when they want to. A lot of people think a
buffet is less expensive than a sit down meal - this is simply false. Since
guests can help themselves to as much food as they want, caterers must prepare
more food to avoid the possibility of running out of something. A sit down meal
requires more wait staff, but the overall price of a sit down event is usually
equal or less than a buffet.
Overall, when planning your wedding there
are many factors that come into play. The personal tastes of the bride and
groom, their parents and families are the obvious major factors. Honestly
though, planning a wedding can be fun, exciting, stressful and somewhat
entertaining at times; but, the reason behind the party and all the plans is to
celebrate the unity of the marriage and the commitment made in front of the
couples closest family members and friends.
I wish you both the best of
luck and Congratulations! Kathy
