Create a Table Buffet Like a Professional

Your wedding table buffet is a perfect place to incorporate decorations, show off delicious food, and save money. A buffet style table setting can open up options for you and your guests.Picky guests may enjoy a buffet more than an assigned meal. They have an option to fill up on salad if they don’t care for the main entrée.

Cut down costs at your wedding by offering your guests a table buffet. Buffet tables harbor less hidden extra charges. Serving dinner with the reception hall wait staff can tack on heavy gratuity fees. A buffet can be catered or homemade. Family or friends may want to help with this expense. Grandma loves making her famous chocolate covered fruit platter. Let her help out if she offers to prepare something. Before people start showing up with dishes, first coordinate to see if what they are making goes with the meal. Make sure that your wedding planner is aware of any food that people may be bringing so there is reserved space.

Stage your buffet table like a professional. Use risers to create different heights for different dishes. Create stands with sturdy coke crates, books or wooden boxes. Arrange the risers along the buffet. Try mirroring one side to match the  ther. Assemble peaks and valleys with your stands along the table. Next, layer the different levels with decorative fabric. Fabrics have the amazing ability to tie your theme together. Scrunch and fold rectangles of matching colors and patterns to create more dimensions. Let the creativity flow. Add more dazzle with mirrors, candles, crystals, or flowers.

Arrange the platters in order. Begin with plates, napkins, salad, and bread. Follow with the main courses and sides dishes. Remember that guests’ hands will be full while serving themselves. Make sure the line is able to move along productively. Have platters precut and portioned if necessary.
