As you've probably noticed by now, wedding receptions can take place nearly any time of day. Menus and venues are available almost around the clock, making it easier to plan the big event.
If the thought of waiting for the P.M. hours to roll around is too much for you to handle, consider getting an early start on the activities. Really early. As Lisa Milbrand, reveals, there's definitely a demand for sunrise celebrations followed by breakfast and brunch. Here's her profile of this party style:
WHOM IT SUITS:
The unpretentious couple. You can't stand a lot of hoopla and attention and like things low-key. And you appreciate the serenity and soft light of early morning.
WHAT TO SERVE:
- Bagels and croissants with marmalades, jams, butter and honey; fresh fruits.
- Pancakes or waffles.
- Smoked salmon, specialty sausages, Canadian bacon.
- Have a chef make custom omelets or crepes.
- Serve an array of coffees, teas and juices.
- Pastries, or a white cake with fruit filling, are the perfect finish.
GOOD POINTS:
- If you want to get an early start on your honeymoon, this is the reception to have-you'll be able to get there for your wedding night.
- A breakfast or brunch is a pretty inexpensive proposition, as the food served is cheaper than dinner fare, and you won't have the bar tab (just a little champagne for mimosas).
- An early event has a more intimate feel.
NOT-SO-GOOD POINTS:
- Early morning isn't the time for a wild party with dancing.
- If you're planning a sunrise ceremony, your night-owl friends may sleep through the whole thing.
