Catering Memphis | CHEERSEventPlanning

As certified wedding planners, it is our job to make sure we are always up to date on the latest wedding trends! We are very excited about the upcoming trends and themes for 2013 and even predictions for 2014! While 2012 held some fabulous new trends, we are thrilled to see the return of elegant soirees, lounges, fun food ideas, and branding!

Out with Rustic-In with 20’s Glamour!

It is no secret that the “Rustic Wedding” was very popular last year and even into this year! Mason jars, burlap, barns, and DIY were among many popular items, however, 2013-14 has a new look to uphold! This year’s trends are seeming to show a 1920’s formal look and we are very excited!

The Return of Wedding Lounges!

Couples are getting creative this year with their decor, including the return of wedding lounges! What a great way to offer more seating, as well as fun seating for you guests! Instead of being “stuck at a table”, they are free to spend their time in the gorgeous lounge you have created. While the goal is to have people on the dance floor, there are often guests, such as family members, who enjoy taking it easy and a lounge is the perfect addition for them.

Out with Candy Bars- in with Creative Desserts!

We have loved the dessert/candy bars, however, we are also loving the new “sweet” trends to come! From individual cakes, to popcorn bars, to ice cream trucks, creativity is IN. Brides are showing us that the possibilities are endless and are using desserts as a way to showcase their sweet tooth! Yum.

Color, Color, Color!

Brides are using color! Whether or not it is in their shoes, in their bouquet, or in their linens, color is here for 2013! While many are still upholding the traditional white bouquets, many brides are using pops of color to express their theme or style! This is also being applied in their shoes, groom’s socks, and even in wedding decor! Color is a great way to brand you wedding and even showcase your favorite hues.

Catering has skyrocketed in creativity over the past few years and continues on into the upcoming wedding trends! From mini-food, to food stations, to upscale displays, couples are getting very creative with the presentation of their food! Even late night snacks are coming back into trend! We are loving this because it is a fabulous way to set your wedding apart and show your creativity with food themes and flavors.

CHEERS and Happy Planning!

Are you a foodie?

Can’t wait for your wedding…for the food?

Well, you’re not alone!

Many of our brides (and grooms!) use their wedding food as the focus of their event. From seated dinners, to food stations, to passed hors d’oeuvres, catering can often become a great conversation piece, AND can reflect the couple’s cultures or personalized taste.

As event planners, we have noticed that guests really do anticipate the food and drink at each event they attend. Dining, as well as a fabulous meal, has become the focus of our country’s social life these days, and often times becomes what many look forward to on the weekends and certainly at weddings!

Here in Memphis, the wedding planning world is blessed to house a vast number of exceptional caterers. The aesthetics of the presentation, as well as mouth-watering taste can be found with many catering companies in town! It’s hard to go wrong in “food world” and we are honored to work with some of the best!

Hiring CHEERS as your wedding planner can benefit you in catering world because we pride ourselves on sending our clients to a caterer who truly reflects their tastes, as well as BUDGET! Those are just some of the perks of hiring a wedding professional to help with your entire planning process!

Here are a few photos of some of the delicious food provided by many great caterers in town! AND who doesn’t love a good signature cocktail thrown in the mix! The perfect thirst quencher after a fantastic meal.

Enjoy!
