Luau!!!

My friends Mel & Shawn were married yesterday, and they had a lovely party for the reception!  The whole theme was Hawaiian and beautiful. 



They had pulled pork and hot dogs, and then a lot of side foods that ppl made for the buffet - water chestnuts wrapped in bacon, marinated brussels sprouts, baked beans w/ lottttts of brown sugar, potato salad, macaroni salad, fruit & veggie pizza, devilled eggs, a meat & cheese tray, chips & salsa... it was all amazing!!! 


Clockwise from top left: Waterchestnut wrapped in bacon, devilled egg, roast pork, pasta salad, a meatball, girlled hotdog w/ ketchup, chocolate covered strawberry, and potato salad.

I loved the bacon wrapped water chestnut so much I had to go back for more.  This was a different kind of egg, some brussels sprouts made by the gal at my table (YUM!) and more pulled pork, this time with some bbq sauce, which just made the flavor kick! 


There were homemade pies at each table, and also a huge coconut tree cake.  Gorgeously done!  I've gotta remember to ask Mel who made it.  They did a great job!  Don't'chya think??  : )




I love potlucks, buffets, homemade foods in general.  This was a great variety and a wonderful idea for their wedding reception.  Mazeltov!  (sp?)  : ) 

Until next time - What's your favorite kind of reception food?  Do you like the buffet style, or would you prefer a more formal, being served lobster and sirloin kind of meal with wine courses for each?  (Oh, that does sound yummy as well!)
