Seafood is among the best summer wedding menu ideas. It’s a must for beach weddings and an advisable option for other wedding types. Seafood is especially good for daytime receptions and remains a great idea for evening celebrations. For instance, you may have crostini topped with small pieces of tuna, fresh oysters or salmon rolls.

BBQ and Grill

While choosing outdoor wedding food ideas, don’t forget about fruits and berries. You can use them separately, but it’s better to make salads and arrange them beautifully. Whipped cream can be added as well. What’s cool about fruit salads is that they don’t only taste great but also look very beautiful. In such a way, you get a cool edible table decoration.

Ice Cream

What refreshes better than ice cream? It’s one of fantastic summer wedding food ideas, especially if you have a daytime ceremony or plan an outdoor wedding. Clearly, the ice cream can’t stand on the table all day long, so it’s important to have a fridge to store it before serving. In some cases, ice cream is used instead of a traditional wedding cake. However, we’d better have both these desserts.

Refreshment Drinks and Cocktails

Of course, summer wedding menu needs to include some refreshment drinks and cocktails. You may try Frozen Pineapple Margaritas, Mojito, Frozen Peach Sangria or Hibiscus Limeade. Don’t forget to add lemonade or ice tea for kids and people who don’t drink alcohol. Additionally, take into account that it’s normal to serve beer at semi-formal weddings.

Clearly, this list of summer wedding food can be prolonged with more delicious ideas. However, we have given you a starting point, which will inspire you for more great foods and drinks for your summer wedding.
