Americana weddings are full of pride and spirit and are about capturing an old-fashioned, timeless romance. An outdoor wedding that is rustic, vintage, quaint, intimate & charming all describe the venues utilized for Americana Weddings. Colors can range from a muted palette with a lot of greenery to vibrant patriotic colors. Think, fun comfort food when creating your menu. Easy to eat, classic favorites: hamburgers, (veggie burgers,) hot dogs, baked mac & cheese, BBQ, fried chicken, microbrews from a local brewery, fresh summer fruit and ice cream.
With the help of Pinterest and the Taste Of Home website, here are some of our favorites:
Hors-d’oeuvres
For the cocktail hour, draw menu inspiration from casual and easy to eat foods you would find at a backyard barbecue:
Stars & Stripes
Showcasing the American flag is essential for every Americana wedding. From your attire to the décor and the food… be creative. Create your own patriotic berry and cheese display with a bowl of blueberries as the stars, strawberries, and raspberries as the red stripes and cubes of cheese as the white stripes. 
Mini Corn Dogs 
Macaroni Coleslaw
The combination of macaroni and coleslaw is the perfect side because it works with burgers, fried chicken, ribs and more.
