Needless to say, a tub of Twiglets just won't do the job. As the first food your guests will be devouring at your wedding, they need to make a delicious first impression while complementing the style of the celebration.

Think about whether you want a wide selection of diverse tastes, or whether you want the canapes to reflect a specific theme, for instance, a winter or autumnal assortment, or perhaps a retro or contemporary selection.

Invariably visually striking, canapes can look rustic, modern or fun - think about what works with your wedding, be it theme, venue or time of year. A good caterer will be able to cook up something delectable for any style demanded.

Seasonal produce isn't really an issue when it comes to choosing canapÈs; they usually focus on a main savoury ingredient and can therefore be adapted to suit any season.
