Presentation
is key, be sure to use attractive serving platters. Hors d'oeuvre trays
and platters can be made of porcelain, glass, hand-painted ceramics,
wood, woven baskets, copper, brass, and many more materials.
To make
a wonderful and decorative statement, garnish the trays with fresh flowers,
herbs and other props.
It is important
that the hors d'oeuvres you choose offer a nice variety of shapes, sizes
and colors as well as different ingredients and taste profiles.
If you
are offering meat products, be sure to include non-meat items as well
for those who prefer a meatless alternative.
If the
planned event is for a seated dinner, plan an elegant dessert buffet
instead of serving dessert at the table. This allows your guests to
stand up, network and/or socialize, and view a dramatic display of beautiful
desserts.
