Chicken or fish? How about something else entirely? Weddings have had a standard food offering for some time, and while the options were  initially designed to make everyone happy, couples are now starting to mix things up...much to their guests' delight! If you want to take your fare—and your guests' experiences—up a notch, consider one of our favorite recent wedding food trends...

Popular in cities around the country, they can cater burritos, brunch, and everything in between. What could be cooler than one of these trendy trucks pulling up outside of your reception? If you're not ready to take the plunge on a food truck for the main course, hire a dessert truck to bring in ice cream, donuts, or another sweet treat. 5 Fun Wedding Food Trends to Try facebook.com/WolfandDevour 2. Grilled cheese sandwiches. There's a reason this comfort food is beloved by people of all ages; there's just something so perfect about toasty bread and gooey, melty cheese. Arrange to have sammies as part of your appetizer spread or as a late-night snack, and then watch your guests' eyes light up. We also love a grilled cheese bar with multiple cheese and bread offerings for a wedding shower or a post-wedding brunch. 5 Fun Wedding Food Trends to Try Photo from Delish 3. Gourmet donuts Donuts have been trending since 2013, but the newest way to do them is to opt for foodie-approved flavors (think: maple bacon, caramel with sea salt, or Cherry Coke). More and more bakeries around the country are expanding their flavor offerings, making it easier to serve up something fancy for your wedding. 5 Fun Wedding Food Trends to Try 4. Funfetti cake. The children's birthday party classic is perfect for the unfussy couple who is young at heart! If you don't want to do a color-flecked wedding cake, try serving Funfetti cupcakes or a Funfetti groom's cake. 5 Fun Wedding Food Trends to Try IMAGE SOURCE: RASPBERRI CUPCAKES 5. Popcorn bar. This crunchy snack is trending right now. (We blame Olivia Pope!) We love it because it's super affordable and it hits the spot when you need a nosh. Go wild with adventurous flavors and toppings, or stick to classics like kettle corn and caramel corn. Set out a few popcorn varieties alongside gourmet trail mix during cocktail hour, or add to-go bags and make it a late-night snack spread. 5 Fun Wedding Food Trends to Try   Photo by Simply Southern Mom Get more delicious ideas on Loverly: 8 Alternative Wedding Cakes That Aren’t Cake at All 11 Things Every Couple Thinks at a Wedding Tasting How to Set Up a DIY Bar for Your Big Day
