"Hi I'm Jessica Meiczinger with Simply Divine Events, a wedding and event planning company and I have been planning weddings for a little over a decade now and I want to talk to you about what to choose for your cocktail menu for your garden themed wedding. First of all since you are getting married in a garden setting or maybe having your reception at a garden club think about organic. You can go with organic fruits and berries and have displays at a station. You can also do like if you don't want to do organic you can do like a bruschetta bar, you could do international cheeses, a nice baked brie with like apricot jam. You could also do berries with fruits that are in season and have a nice yogurt dip or a kie tea dip, that's also a nice accompaniment. If you don't want to do stations you can do butler passed hors d'oeuvre which is a nice touch. You could do you know a brie toast or bruschetta or just something nice and light to just accompany the theme. So those are some nice ideas on what to choose for your cocktail reception when planning a garden themed wedding."
