Decades of living in the United Kingdom has resulted in many Asians adopting some local cultural traditions, especially with regard to food and dress. When such Asians get married in the UK, they usually prefer a combination of different cuisines and décor at their wedding venues. Hence, many of the leading Indian caterers have begun to offer a selection of different cuisine options, such as French food, Lebanese food and Chinese food, in additional to traditional Indian dishes.
Here are some of the common non-traditional food items generally provided by Asian catering businesses:
• Champagne and wines: While alcohol is traditionally not served at wedding venues in most Asian cultures, today, it has become increasingly common to ask one’s caterers to set-up a bar, which serves at least champagne or a few wines. In many cases, couples also ask their Asian catering company to arrange for a professional Master of Ceremonies who would coordinate the toasts.
• Wedding cake: While some couples may ask their Indian caterers to provide a traditional white Victorian wedding cake, many prefer a cake with Indian motifs and symbols on the icing. In addition, couples usually also ask their Asian catering company to arrange for a cake topper of a couple dressed in traditional Indian wedding attire.
• Combination desserts: The growing popularity of western desserts has resulted in many Indian caterers being requested to serve traditional Indian desserts in combination with popular Indian ones. Two fusion desserts that one will often get to taste at Indian wedding venues are gulab jamuns with vanilla ice cream, and rasmalai with fresh strawberries.
