Wedding Trends for 2018
In 2017 H & H Catering were proud to be awarded Best Wedding Caterer at the NSW Restaurant & Catering Awards followed soon after by a Bronze at the National Awards. At H & H Catering we are always looking ahead to see what is new and trending so that we can ensure our brides are up to date with the latest food, beverage and styling.
For everything food & dessert related we have seen the rise as of late towards a more casual and relaxed feel of shared platters and grazing tables. Fresh and local trends carry forward as people are still opting for organic and healthier foods for their guests. We are proud to be founding members of the Food Collective Central Coast and always look to purchase fresh local produce whenever possible.
Lollies and lolly bars have started to take a backseat as more couples are choosing mini dessert bites for their guests and wedding cake served as dessert has taken over the more traditional plated dessert.
Cocktails have become more popular recently with tendencies for fruit or seasonal themed cocktails and satellite bars. There is also an increase in gourmet coffee stations and other non-alcoholic drink options.
In the past few years it has become a thing to have a unique wedding location. This is continuing as well as the rise of destination weddings. Disconnected or unplugged ceremonies are on the rise with late night parties remaining common. Various areas with an assortment of high cocktail tables, lounges and separate seating are in full effect.
You will still see the rustic, vintage, romantic, bohemian, garden, barn and fairy tale themes.
In addition, there has been a growth towards high drama lighting, modern and industrial, woodland and enchanted forest themes moving forward in 2018.
Again, more relaxed, intimate, cocktail mixer type parties where guests can mix and mingle, with live entertainment are taking precedence over more formal seated events.
