Opinions on snacks at reception tables?

Hello,

My fiancé and I would love to do Taiwanese/ Chinese food for our reception. I would like to have snacks and cold dishes at each guests’ table (like you would see in Taiwan) to snack on before and after dinner. It would be things like tiny dishes of peanuts, wood ear salad, and cucumber salad.
If we do this do we still do centerpieces? Or no centerpieces? I don’t really care about centerpieces anyway, but I wanted some outside opinion on what everyone thinks, how might this look? Is anyone doing something similar with already at the reception tables as guests arrive?

If you are doing food, I would probably skip the centerpieces or at least make them very small/limited so that the tables aren't too crowded.

You could put the plates of food on little tier stands so the food doubles as centerpieces, and add large accent blossoms

Having food or drink as a centerpiece is a thing, for example a champagne bucket

This is what I was going to recommend as well! There's definitely a way to display the food so it could feel like a centerpiece on it's own, and I'm obsessed with the idea of food on each table. I LOVE that.

I agree! Adding fresh greenery or flowers could help. And you pick a modern or really decorative tiered tray, whatever fits your theme best.
