Spring Wedding Appetizers That Will Make Your Mouth Water

Amid all of the details that you'll be planning for your wedding, the food can be one of the highlights. As spring starts to show its face, it's fun to plan spring appetizers that will make your mouth water! At Historic Pinecrest, we want to help you create a special day that will go down in history as being your favorite day of your life. Our beautiful Colorado Springs wedding venue is a beautiful place to say "I do," from our breathtaking chapel to our spacious event center. Here are a few fun recipes you can keep in mind as you're planning your spring even menu.

Guac & Chips

This fun appetizer would be easy to create and especially fun for your guests. You also don't have to worry about double dipping! You can find small margarita glasses online, and then put the guacamole in them with a few chips, and ta-da!

Popcorn Bar

Show your fun side at your wedding, or tell the story of how you met (at a movie theater over spilled popcorn?) with a popcorn bar! Not only are there many different flavors of popcorn, like caramel, butter, or kettle corn, but there are many toppings to choose from! Find cute baskets to display the popcorn, and then use bowls to hold the toppings, and salt shakers for any flavorings that will be shaken over it. Cute, easy, and OH so delicious!

Mini Burgers & Beer

Are you looking for a more casual way to separate the ceremony and the reception while you and your wedding party go to take photos? Try mini burgers and beer! They're a great way to keep your guests' blood sugar up while also loosening them up a bit before the party. Talk to your caterer about this cute little appetizer and see if they have some fun ideas to spruce it up.

Watermelon Feta Mint Skewers

Don't these delightful appetizers look refreshing! Try incorporating fresh fruit into your spring wedding menu. A little watermelon, feta, and mint can go a long way in creating something cool and flavorful. You can even consider doing a short appetizer period outdoors when the weather is warm!

To-Go Box Favors

Want to send your guests home with a wedding favor they won't forget? Check out this adorable to-go boxed filled with Coca-Cola, fries, ketchup and even a straw! If you'll be out partying late with your guests, they'll appreciate the thoughtfulness in this favor. If you're all staying at the same venue, like our Pinecrest Lodge, you could arrange to have these already in their room when the get back there!

Fish Tacos with Margaritas

Imagine this refreshing favorite being served at your wedding before the reception starts! Delicious fish tacos served with cold mini margaritas would be a wonderful way to wet their whistle and satisfy any hunger pangs before the full meal comes out.
