Short answer
Serve a grazing table of light, easy-to-eat food: finger sandwiches, fruit platters, vegetable sticks with hummus, cheese and crackers, and pastries. Add water, juice and maybe a non-alcoholic fizz. Avoid anything messy or staining.
While you are getting ready, your bridal party needs food that is simple to eat without ruining hair or make-up. A grazing table works well. Put out finger sandwiches with fillings like egg and cress, cucumber, or ham. Add a fruit platter with grapes, berries and melon, plus vegetable sticks with hummus. Include some cheese and crackers, and a few pastries or croissants for a treat. Keep everything bite-sized, so no one needs a knife and fork. Avoid anything with tomato sauce, beetroot, or dark berries that could stain clothes or teeth. Provide plenty of water and some fruit juice or a non-alcoholic sparkling drink. If anyone has food allergies or preferences, ask in advance and label the dishes. Keep the table away from where people are getting dressed, and have napkins and wet wipes nearby. This food should be light, so everyone feels comfortable in their outfit.
