Julie and David are both seasoned culinary professionals, so when it came to their wedding, they had very specific ideas for their special day. Julie wanted a candy buffet, but she wanted French Macarons incorporated into it, as well as our sweet gumball necklaces. David was more about the food but wanted something fun for dessert. We created a candy buffet that met all of their requests!

We purchased Julie’s favorite candies in gray, orange and white for guests to nibble on. We created a French Macaron tower as well as individual macarons.

We created some of our signature gumball necklaces, keeping with the theme of gray, white and orange. We also made some chocolate mustaches for the guys!

The best part of the evening for us was seeing the bride and her girls on the dance floor wearing our gumball necklaces and having a great time! Congratulations Julie & David!

The wedding of Robert & Nicole was one of the most beautiful weddings we’ve seen. The couple worked closely with their planner, Brandee Gaar, owner of Blush by Brandee Gaar, to create a beautiful evening wedding in shades or rich deep purple and gold.

Before we get to our buffet, we simply have to share with you a photo taken by their photographer, Kristen Weaver, owner of Kristen Weaver Photography, of the happy couple as posted on Kristen’s Facebook page (we hope you’ll “like” her page too)

And one of Nicole’s absolutely STUNNING gown and veil – a Kenneth Poole gown and custom made Rivini veil!

Gorgeous, right??? I can’t wait till Kristen posts the rest of the photos of their wedding…

Anyhow, on to their dessert buffet. This was another one of our couples that we didn’t meet until the day of their wedding. We do get those quite often – they implicitly trust their planner and her vendor recommendations. We worked exclusively with Nicole and Brandee via email to create their buffet.

Nicole selected from our menus some of her and Robert’s favorite options, from golden S’Mores to cream puffs, creme brulee, tiramisu, cake pops and more! With over 200 guests to feed, we created hundreds of desserts and carefully placed them on 18 feet of table beautifully covered plum Dupioni silk. Dogwood Blossom Stationery & Invitation Studio created the foil menu cards and buffet signs in a gorgeous calligraphy font that just knocked us off our feet. We were so pleased that Nicole and Robert trusted us (and their planner) to create a beautiful dessert display for their guests to enjoy!
