Happily ever snacking!

As a seasoned wedding planner and day of coordinator, I cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your energy levels high and your stress levels low during all of the wedding day preparations. Everyone loves a good snack and a charcuterie spread provides all of the wedding party members with the perfect amount of fuel to get through the day!

"Charcuterie (shar-KOO-ta-REE) is a specific term with origins reaching as far back as 15th century France; literally translated, it means the products of a fancy pork butcher. Modern charcuterie does often include pork, but the definition has widened to reflect a dish served throughout many cultures."

Meats, cheeses, fruits, crackers, various spreads, and chocolates all

arranged in the most aesthetically pleasing way for you to graze on all morning long! I mean, who wouldn't want a taste? This is my top favorite option for getting ready snacks. It offers variety, minimal mess, and food that won't make you feel overly full. Need some ideas for a graze board? Check out my pinterest for some great ideas, or if you're in the NC area, book me as your own personal charcuterie set-up gal!

What I love about a charcuterie set-up for your wedding day is the option to customize your graze table to reflect exactly who you are as a bride or a couple. I also love that it allows your wedding party to graze throughout the morning, rather than filling up on one certain meal first thing.

The graze table options are endless and there is always more than enough to go around! My favorite option is the Brunch Board option. Buttery croissants, fluffy muffins, fruit, and creamy yogurt are the stars of the show for a brunch table! Another great option is the Sandwich Board! This board incorporates heavier meats, cheeses, and various breads for a diy sandwich party! Either way, you won't regret having one of these as your "getting ready" centerpiece on the morning of your wedding.
