If your wedding is one of the happiest days of your life, it is likely to be also one of the most expensive.
To limit the costs of this exceptional day, opt for a hearty homemade buffet and skip the catering bill!
Your guests will gladly let themselves be tempted by the aperitif. Also, plan enough appetizers and vary the flavors between Land and Sea to satisfy everyone.
Here are some easy recipes to prepare and very economical :
- Gougères with chorizo and Comté
- Salmon Spoons
- Tuna rillettes with tarragon
- Sun-dried tomato cake
Present your starters on pretty plates or in verrines to showcase them.
Charcuterie and cold meats are a safe bet . Nutritious, they will serve as a main course.
Here too, remember to vary the meats, there is something for all tastes:white and raw ham, rosette, coppa, or even country terrine but also roast pork, chicken breast and roast beef.
Arrange your charcuterie on large trays and place a few lettuce leaves all around your dish to give it a splash of color.
Cut your roasts into thin slices and be sure to put pickles, mayonnaise and mustard on the table.
For fish lovers , you can also serve a few slices of smoked salmon or trout on which you will put a drizzle of lemon.
Summer and winter, they are always a great success:pasta salad with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, prawn salad with grapefruit or Niçoise salad, they will delight your guests.
If you present them in large salad bowls, everyone can serve themselves as they please.
If you don't opt for the traditional wedding cake, why not offer your guests a farandole of gourmet desserts?
Crunchy meringues, strawberry tartare with basil or even light and melting chocolate mousse will be perfect to end your meal.
It's hard to think of Marriage without thinking of Champagne! To help you make the best possible choice, we have selected for you some champagnes at nice prices that you can buy in the supermarket.
And if you want an original aperitif, I recommend this Champagne soup recipe that can be sipped, in moderation of course!
