We met with Ali and her mother several months ago when she was in Orlando for a wedding planning trip at the kitchen. Even though she had ordered a cake (actually three) for her December 28th wedding at Bella Collina, she wanted to offer her guests something more.
With a guest list of around 250 people, we put our heads together and came up with a menu that was sure to please everyone. Our menu consisted of our glitter cake pops, several varieties of mini pies, individual bread puddings, lemon bars, raspberry tarts, mini cannoli, chocolate covered Oreos, our signature Hot Chocolate on a Stick, individual pumpkin gingerbread bundt cakes, fig tarts, and truffles.
Ali had seen a photo on Pinterest of a dessert buffet table made with wine barrels, and really wanted it for her day. We contacted our friends at A Chair Affair to see if they had anything like it in stock. They didn’t, but said they would be willing to make it for her, so with them on board, we were set to go!
We just can’t say enough good things about how beautiful everything turned out. Alison Watson from Blush by Brandee Gaar was Ali’s coordinator throughout, and created a stunning masterpiece for Ali and Matt’s big day. From the clear span tent, to the crystal chandelier, market lighting, and everything in between, it was simply gorgeous. Denise Wilson, our partner from Dogwood Blossom Stationery & Invitation Studio created the stunning signage for the dessert buffet.
The Florida weather was threatening on the big day, and we did get sprinkled on a few times while we were setting up the buffet, but in the end, the skies cleared and it was a beautiful moonlit night. We can’t wait to see the professional shots from Ash Imagery, but in the meantime, we’ve posted some of our amateur iPhone photos! 😉
