Welcome to our new blog for Yes We Cater, the company who is dedicated to serve you, with your awesome event in mind.
We have received a question, "My fiance' and I would like to have a Thanksgiving wedding, what are some pros and cons?
A THANKSGIVING WEDDING
As we are wrapped in the glow of the autumn season, warm wishes to all visiting our site.
One of the sweetest and most awe-inspiring weddings we ever had the pleasure to attend was on Thanksgiving Day.
The very thoughtful to-be-weds made certain invitations were issued to the entire family, children included, so everyone could be together to break bread and give thanks on this wondrous holiday.
Thanksgiving is a time when families get together in love and celebration, and a very befitting setting for a wedding as loved ones are joined in a cornucopia of love.
As soon as the bride and groom decide on the date for their nuptials, simply made "save the date" cards should be sent to those whom you plan on inviting to your wedding, so your guests travel arrangements can be made. Remember, etiquette suggests that everyone you do send a "save the date" to must be invited to your wedding, as well as every person you invite to the pre-wedding festivities.
Echoing the gorgeous hues of autumn for this Thanksgiving Day wedding, the grand hall was adorned with colorful autumn leaves resplendent in white tulle, amid arrangements of miniature pumpkins and gourds. Pumpkin and cinnamon-scented candles in red, gold, brown, burgundy, rust, cranberry and orange holders were placed on mirrors lavished with leaves and set around a stately open cornucopia of fresh fruit as the centerpieces.
Guests toasted the bride and groom with warm apple cider.
The reception menu featured platters of turkey, stuffing or dressing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, candied yams, succotash, green beans, squash, and with the bride's family being Italian, wedding soup and stuffed shells were on the tables as well.
Complimenting the Cookie Table were pumpkin loaves, pumpkin and pecan pies, candy apples (made by the bride and groom,) alongside the stately wedding cake, made with pumpkin-spiced filling and cream cheese frosting, and decorated in the gorgeous golden leaves of fall.
Knowing that wedding guests, generally, enjoy receiving an edible favor, everyone delighted in the grand array of trays with autumn colored M&M's or Hershey's Hugs and Kisses, Nestle's Treasures and Dove Promises...caught in white tulle with red and gold ribbons bearing the inscription..."Hugs and Kisses from the New Mr. and Mrs." and the date of their marriage.
Thanksgiving weddings can also take place the Friday or Saturday after the holiday, and in regard to the menu, may we suggest the main entree be something other than turkey, as most folks may have had their fill from Thanksgiving. Meat, pork, chicken or fish can be prepared to delight every palate.
Please do keep in mind that some folks have food allergies, are vegetarians or prefer Kosher food, so do offer menu options to your guests.
The youngsters will enjoy chicken fingers and fries or macaroni and cheese, or pasta with mini-meatballs, which will not cost as much as the adult meals.
The executive chefs at Yes We Cater can comply with your every request, and give expert advice as well.
Flowers for a Thanksgiving wedding can run the glorious gamut of: chrysanthemums, roses, daisies, dahlias, lillies, orchids, hydrangeas, sunflowers, baby breath, fall leaves, berries or dried wheat.
The bride for this particular wedding carried a prayer book with cascading stephanotis, the wedding flower. Freesia, can also be used, and is a bit less costly.
A holiday wedding can bring some cost cutting savings because the ceremony sites and the reception venues will be already decorated for the holiday, thus you will not need as many flowers.
Her bridal gown can be accented with the golden hues of fall, or in off-white or ivory, with leafy embroidery or gold beading, and a shawl or wrap since the weather may be a bit chilly. Bridesmaids can be attired in fall colors in a warm material with sleeves, or a wrap. Indigo blue is beautiful for fall and winter weddings.
The groom and his groomsmen will be dashing in tan, beige or brown with ties matching the bride and bridesmaids dresses.
We look so forward to answering any questions for you, and to share all of our wedding wishes.
