My Sister's Wedding Reception

My sister's wedding reception was held outside, in a friend's backyard, in the middle of July. This created some challenges with keeping food cold and free from flies! The colors of the wedding reception were orange/coral with small accents of turquoise.

Strawberry Lemonade, Lemon -Limeade, Ice Water

Lemon Brownies

Roasted Potato Bites

Antipasto Skewers

Warm Italiano Dip - cream cheese covered in pesto, chopped tomatoes, and parmesan cheese and then warmed in the oven. Served with crackers and french bread slices for dipping.

Fruit Salad

Plates, forks, napkins kept in an open decorative trunk to keep them from blowing away in the West Texas wind!

* One dish we served is not pictured here - Marinated and grilled chicken skewers with cilantro - peanut dipping sauce. It was the last dish to be placed on the food buffet and was not photographed.

My sister chose to have wedding pie instead of wedding cake!
