BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

Top Chef which airs on Bravo at 10/9c has been one of my favorite reality shows since it gives season and unseason chefs the chance to prove show talent to the world. What I love most about it though are the recipes, it's watching how the chef's plate the food to serve to the guests and judges. Even if it's something as simple as a piece of fried banana, they add so many visual elements to that plate that even I may not mind paying $30.00 for it.

The reason I am discussing this is because I know there are many brides-to-be who would love to have a sit down dinner but is worried that it will be too expensive. There is a way to compromise. What Top Chef proves if the food is good, no one mind that the portions are smaller. So maybe it's ok to consider making your own food at home, deliver it to the venue buffet style, but have someone plate the food for the guests. That way you would not have to spend as much for food as you would for an open buffet bar, and if it's visually pleasing, your guests won't mind taking those few steps to get their appetizing meal. It's food for thought.
