When it comes to parties, weddings and other events you should not only consider your menu selection but also consider the importance of food & beverage presentation as well. Paying attention to this kind of detail can add significantly to your event and help tie in event elements like theme and colors.
With careful planning you can work with your event planner and/or caterer to come up with unique {and delicious} displays!

Even if you can't afford something like a custom ice display, you can use things like wicker trays, baskets, bamboo serving pieces, galvanized tins, place mats and unique serving plates & platters. If you are planning a wedding and your caterer does not have options you like, purchase items for the event and then reuse them in your home following the event. Some of our favorite places to find display items are: Anthropologie, Crate & Barrel, Pier One, Target & World Market

Garnish it
Think outside the {ice} box and switch the typical lime, lemon and olive drink garnish to something fun like other fruits, a sugar cube, fruit leather cut outs or flowers
