Staying well-fed and hydrated is a must on your wedding day, but it’s often something that gets overlooked. Even if your ceremony begins at 3 or 4pm, dinner won’t be served until 5pm at the earliest! With an early morning of hair and makeup, be sure to plan ahead on what you and your girls will have for breakfast and lunch. Keep reading for our top 5 favorite ideas:
Smoothies
Smoothies are a great way to start off the morning, plus they’re a crowd pleaser! Add some greens and protein for an extra boost or stick with a yogurt and fruit base. Designate a bridal party member to do a smoothie run the morning of to get everyone’s day kicked off right!
Pastries & Parfaits
Another great light breakfast option is yogurt + fruit parfaits and pastries. This is super easy to DIY with a quick run to your closest grocery or wholesale club or have it delivered to you with a catering order from Panera.
Charcuterie Display
A great DIY option, a charcuterie display is typically a crowd pleaser. Include a variety of cheese, crackers, nuts, olives, fruit, and spreads! Many cities also have small businesses that specialize in grazing boards and will be happy to create a custom display for your special day!
Sandwiches
Super easy to grab-and-go or eat between hair and makeup appointments, sandwiches are an easy lunch option. Check out the mini croissant platter at BJ’s wholesale club or your local sub shop.
