Who wants to wait a single second longer to marry the love of their life when they’ve already been waiting for their entire engagement? No one, so consider a morning wedding! Mornings can be the most beautiful part of the day. You have the sun on your side as far as lighting and temperature. You’ll have the rest of the day to party away with your friends or curl up and enjoy with your new hubby, but most importantly, let’s talk about the food and drinks you can serve at a morning wedding.

Think about all the money (and unruly wedding guests) you’ll save by opting for a mimosa bar instead of a full liquor bar. A mimosa bar stocked with all the champagne you could ever want, classic OJ, and maybe a few other fun fruit flavored juices and you are good to go. Guest’s won’t feel even the least bit slighted and they’ll rave on your uniqueness and creativity. Hakuna Mimosa!

Let us be the ones to tell you that guests will show up hungry to your wedding, and they will be unhappy if said hunger isn’t taken care of swiftly. In an evening wedding, you have to account for many extra things like will you serve appetizers before your ceremony? Will you be having food at your cocktail hour? Will you serve a full meal or heavy hors d’oeuvres? At a morning wedding, tackling food can be much simpler. And by simpler I mean easier to plan for, not boring or basic. Food at a morning wedding allows you many more options.

So you’re ready to plan food for your morning wedding. It is completely acceptable to just serve a light bite at a morning wedding. Think about serving up a yogurt bar stocked with local granola, fruit, honey and anything else you can think of! Not only would this be delicious, but guests won’t feel like you cheated them out of a meal, and I assure you that your bank account will thank you. Any kind of a breakfast bar sounds fun to me. Who wouldn’t love an iced coffee bar? Donut bar? Grits bar (for all the Southern brides out there)? The list goes on! You could easily turn any inexpensive food into a cute and fun breakfast bar for your guests. This is a great way to save money without skimping on your vision of your dream wedding!

You can always still serve a full buffet at your morning wedding. Bacon, eggs, sausage, biscuits… is your mouth watering yet? Breakfast foods are hard to mess up and universally liked by all, so if you want your food to be a hit, consider a morning wedding.

There are many perks to having a morning wedding. It can be more cost effective than an evening wedding as many caterers and vendors charge less in the morning time. You and your guests will have the rest of your day to do whatever you want. And I think we can unanimously agree that a wedding with mimosas and breakfast food is a wedding I want to be at. Remember to “Consider the Hour”. Cheers!
