There’s so much more to wedding food than chicken and potatoes. From bubble bars to soup shooters, spice up your reception with one of these unique ideas.

There’s nothing more refreshing on a hot day than an ice cold popsicles. Now imagine the gourmet version, with flavors like lavender and orange crème. Sound delicious? Ask your caterer to try an adults-only version for the cocktail hour with your favorite liqueur for a frozen signature drink.

For a more casual affair, let your guests be the chef. Guacamole is always a crowd pleaser. Give guests the option to customize their guac with extras like avocado, cucumber and lime will be a hit.

We’re talking cotton candy, cracker jacks, funnel cakes and anything else you might find at the carnival – all dressed up on the display end. Complete the carnival theme with a popcorn bar for a late night snack and a fresh hot funnel cake cart.

Order espresso-spiked brownies or even Starbucks-inspired coffee dessert drinks like Frappuccinos piled high with homemade whipped cream. Include a few decaf options too, like chocolate milk shake shots or even flavored frothed milk.
