Food Tasting is not just for Food Tasting!

Hi!
Recently, Carissa and Lee along with their parents and grandmother, joined us for our food tasting evening. Now, our food tasting is about the food of course. But, it's so much more. 
It's a relaxing evening to showcase the centerpiece that was selected, decide on a beautiful napkin treatment (yes, napkins can be a pop of color or texture, but are an intricate part of the table decoration. Don't forget them!) and fine tune any details such as bridal table, chiavari chair color, or overlays. 

It was an opportunity to see it all together before the big day. As a result, Carissa changed the overlay from organza shimmer to a beautiful satin. And, she is considering our silver charger plates as the final touch. 




The centerpieces: silver frame, a variety of three vintage crystal vases, the table number incorporated on the crystal bud vases, votive candles, and a black and white photo...


hand tinted in her colors! 


Remember, the napkin!
Carissa did. She decided on a rhinestone napkin ring for her "roll" design ivory napkin. She loves "bling" and it was just the perfect touch for the place settings.


No matter what you are planning on serving or serving on or serving with...
keep it fun and be brave!
I'll be there to help!
smiles,
Michelle Gregory

Silver candelabras add warmth and elegance!


Hi!

We had our food tasting and as is our custom, I ordered a sample centerpiece from Flower Allie.
I realize that this is not a terrific picture but clearly, it shows the elegance and beauty of both the candelabra and the flowers. We added strings of pearls in white and ivory to bring out the gorgeous floral organza table runner. Sarah is getting married in May and I wish it were this weekend. I can hardly wait
to see it all come together!!!
As a bonus, Sarah and Greg took home the arrangement. It might not look as large in the picture but ask Greg, it was huge!!!
Thank you for such a delightful evening.
Love,
Michelle
