Has anyone had a wedding with a Family Style Dinner and have pictures they could share (or have you been to one and have pictures?)?
We're pretty sure this is the type of dinner we want to have, and I know our florist needs to be made aware of the table set up for the centerpieces so I'd like to see some pictures if there are any. We're also just curious how the setup looks.
(I'm also working with our venue/caterer to see if they can send pics, too)
Thanks!!
Re: Family Style Dinner - pictures??
Also, what kind of food? Typically Asian meals are served family style because you can easily scoop a portion off of a plate without cutting or too much fuss. I would check first for pictures with that theme.
Italian meals can have that rustic family style as well. Loaves of bread, piles of pasta on plates, fish entrees, wine, side dishes, various meats and cheeses to snack on, etc.
You can still follow traditional wedding-food guidelines too: serve chicken, beef, fish just on a plate like you would set on your dinner table to be passed around. Serve side dishes of veggies, and starches. Hey-anything you want, bride!
When we spoke with our venue last summer about the dinner options, they told us that if we did a Family Style dinner we should let our florist know, as it will affect the types of certerpieces we can have.
As for types of food we're not sure yet...
