I'm planning a wedding feast for a small group of people and this is what I was thinking:
1. Fresh spring rolls with peanut sauce
2. Avacado with crab salad
3. Citrus-based salad
4. Borsht (vegetarian)
5. Paella (seafood plus chicken/chorizo)
6. Cake (almond and marzipan)
I'm just worried that a lot of this wouldn't fit well together and that it might all be too heavy. I thought I should get opinions from the refined palate of /ck/

I meant to add that I was just picking food that I liked and that's it.
Also forgot to add oysters on the half shell as a potential cocktail snack.
Your menu is all over the place. And while that works well as a potluck, it's a bad thing in a "planned" menu.
just like the previous cu/ck/ said, try to go with a theme in your food and not mix asian with hispanic etc

That's what I was worried about.
It's in November so I had hoped to add in some "fall" type stuff but none came to mind for my favorite foods.
Should I get rid of the borsht and crab salad? Those don't seem to fit well.
I'll just dump another cake just because.

It's still not cohesive enough, you're mixing too many types of cuisines.
Doesn't your partner get any say in the foods you'll be serving? Why is this about your favourite foods?

Crab is more spring/ light dish in my mind.
The spring rolls and citrus salad will work together.
The borscht and paella will not.

I was just told it was all up to me, I have certainly asked for opinions and got little to no feedback. And yeah, it is too scattered without a doubt. Even the caterer (though I haven't really started the entire process) just told me to think of foods I liked, so I imagine/hope they will narrow things down from there.
Thanks for the help.

Lot of seafood and nut-based dishes. I hope this is a really small group that you know doesn't have allergies.

The spring rolls and citrus salad work together. Nothing else does.
Crabbit and avocado is a soring/summer dish nor a fall dish.
>tfw I go to a wedding and they don't serve profiteroles
Honestly wouldn't have went if I knew they didn't have profiteroles.
Just my opinion.

You only really need to pick one dish that you personally like. It's not like you'll be eating every single one.

I would have hoped the citrus salad would work with the paella as they would go in courses, not on the same plate.

You could argue for it. Like a crops chef's salad.
But the paella won't work with the peanut sauce spring roll. And the borscht isn't friend with anything.
