Weddings can be a time to rejoice, a time for the celebration of true love and a time to indulge. Known for the abundance of snacks, wedding cake, take home wedding favors, food and drinks .. weddings are not just a time to let loose, but traditionally a time to loosen the belt.

Can a wedding be healthy? According to Anne Heap, a Pastry Chef from the Food Network, creating the ultimate healthy wedding starts with the wedding cake. Ann suggests swapping frosting with fruit :

“Wedding cakes with fruit preserve fillings have tremendous flavor,” says Anne. “Try a low-fat wedding cake with fruit filling in between the layers instead of the traditional buttercream frosting. At the end of the night this option will be sure to satisfy your guests without racking up the calories!”

Likewise, instead of loading up on beef and BBQ at weddings, iFood.TV suggests swapping beef with fish and offers several fish recipes.

Another tip to lay off the indulgences is to try swapping out the intake of alcohol with other drinks, like waters and healthy sodas.
