Grazing tables are the latest buzz in the world of weddings. But what’s the fuss all about?

Grazing tables are self-service stations that offer a light and elegant alternative to a standard and full-blown buffet. While the choices of grazing tables are endless, here are 8 different kinds to consider for your big day.

1. Cheese and fruit

Cheese and fruit are possibly the most common combo and yet always a crowd-pleaser, because let’s face it, who doesn’t love to nibble on them?

3. Pasta

‘Grazing’ and ‘pasta’ don’t sound like the best of companions, but who doesn’t love some pasta in their bellies after sipping booze all night long? This is especially suitable for cold pasta dishes which require no manning at all.
