Edible flowers are the food decor of the hour, right now! Edible flowers are a unique way to dress up your drinks, food, and even some of your main plates. As your favorite Dallas wedding caterer wanted to highlight edible flowers and the different uses that they can have for you.
Using edible flowers on your wedding cake is a beautiful and traditional way to use them! You can decorate it with a few to a lot. They look phenomenal on a naked cake because they become one of the highlights of the cake. The difference with using edible flowers compared to non-edible or even fondant flowers is that, depending on the flavors of your cake, it can elevate this flavor profile! No one will have to pick these off or be worried about eating some of it because they can.
Have a signature drink menu? Add some edible flowers in as a garnish to each drink! Just a flower or two will take the drink from just a drink to an experience.
You can also use edible flowers within your main dishes, as well. Adding them to the side of a meat dish will up the look of how the food is being served. Adding some springs of rosemary, or something similar on top of the food, will not only elevate the style, but also the taste!
Lastly, you can use this floral trend on top of other desserts, too! Using florals like lavender, dandelions, or chamomile will add an edge to the flavor and the look of each dessert that you present to your guests! These florals will make your desserts, like cookies, look even better without doing much! Adding edible flowers just gives them a new dynamic that goes from dessert to experience.

]]>You have our catering services squared away for your upcoming wedding and you’re so excited to be serving Gil’s Elegant Catering on your big day! Next up, you’ll want to make sure to complement our catering with beautiful and unique place settings! Here’s a few ideas that we have been loving this year.
One idea that we’ve seen and love is using butcher paper instead of a traditional placemat. This adds a rustic, DIY feel to your wedding that is unique and fun! You can use a color or you can use a neutral color, like a brown or an off-white. If you do it right, this will bring a fun charm to your reception.
Something else that will elevate your place settings is using gold utensils instead of silver! This is a unique and bold option that will make your tables have even more elegance. Everyone will love this choice and be talking about how great of a choice it was.
For decor around your place settings or on top of your menu, use precious stones! You can use quartz, clear, rose, or any other color depending on your color scheme. Other than quartz, there are so many affordable precious stones that will add that pop to your table settings, too. It will be a unique place setting that you most likely won’t see again.
Lastly, if you love the eclectic vibe, use mismatch plates. You can easily find beautiful mismatch plates at a vintage or antique store for a great price! Don’t be afraid to ask family members that you’re close to if they have any that you can borrow, too!
No matter how you decide to set up your place settings, we are so excited to be your caterer! Take a look at our menus page to see which type of catering best suits you!
