A couple’s worst nightmare at their wedding? Hungry guests. Well, maybe not the *worst*, but it’s up there.

It’s why grazing tables have been a staple at weddings for years. However, a new trend is reshaping the way these tables are presented, offering a fresh take on this culinary classic.

Traditionally, grazing tables at weddings have been all about sprawling spreads. They typically feature an abundant mix of cheeses, charcuterie, fruits, and other finger foods, providing a casual dining experience where guests can help themselves without stalking the waitstaff.

Recently, we’re seeing a shift the arrangement of these grazing tables. Instead of the traditional busy boards, couples are now opting for a more organised and aesthetic approach. This involves “clustering” different types of grazing foods together en masse. For instance, rather than mixing everything on one board, you might find a large bowl dedicated solely to olives, a plate piled high with figs, or a section featuring an array of nuts.

This approach does more than just organise the food; it transforms the grazing table into a styling feature in its own right. The clean, sophisticated look from a clustered grazing table elevates the entire setup. Each collection of food becomes part of a larger, cohesive design that still offers the variety and accessibility that guests love about grazing tables.

Whats more, this approach has practical benefits. By grouping similar items together, it becomes easier for guests to find and enjoy their preferred foods, and for the wedding team to replenish food stocks once they start getting low.

We’ve gathered a collection of clustered grazing table inspiration below. Bon appetit.
