I met Michelle and Ryan last year and we started planning their "Modern Neutrals" destination wedding. Gold, silver, white and touches of purple were the beginning pallet for this fun, modern, family filled event. We looked at wedding cake designs, but it soon became very clear that mini desserts were going to make this couple the happiest. They wanted it all!
French macarons, cake truffles, mini pies, mini cupcakes, cake shots and a small cake just for the two of them to cut at their outrageous clear acrylic sweetheart table. Their favorite flavors were lemon, blackberry, raspberry, vanilla, peach and espresso (with dark chocolate).
So, Memorial Day weekend at The Fairmont Princess Resort in Scottsdale,
the celebration began. I decided to use the venues amazing new tables,
modern sleek, grey stone tops and silver trim. This was actually my
first dessert table with NO LINENS. I loved it! I used two tall, curvy
white vases and one very traditional black vase in the center.
The florals we chose for all the guest tables were white tulips, But, when Ivy walked into the ballroom with dozens of white parrot tulips, well my heart was singing! These gorgeous beauties gave such a n exotic feel to the my design for the arrangements. I absolutely love the movement of the tulips throughout the evening, uncontrollable and wildly natural. Just lovely.
The Sweetheart Cake that I created for Michelle and Ryan was vanilla bean with raspberry butter cream. Two large white sugar roses graced the top, pure and simple, just like this couples' love. I perched it simply on a mirrored charger and placed it in the center of their sweetheart table.
Espresso Mini Cupcakes with vanilla butter cream, drizzled with dark chocolate and salted caramel.
Mini Peach Cobblers, Lemon Macaron with vanilla butter cream, Espresso Mini Cupcakes, Dark Chocolate Cake Truffles with edible purple Disco dust, Vanilla Bean, Peaches and cream Cake shot.
Purple macaron is vanilla with lemon butter cream, Cake shot is vanilla bean with blackberry butter cream.
Different heights for the tables and my tall three tier white stand fit
perfectly. The vases were illuminated by LED pads under the vases
covered with flower petals. Clear crystals sprinkled around to mingle
with the sparkly desserts caught every one's attention as they entered
the ballroom. Votives filled with more LED lights and covered with
clear rocks, and labels held by black and white marble squares gave the
display a modern, eclectic design.
Such a fun couple, a crazy fun family and by the way...ALL of the food and desserts for this spectacular wedding celebration was not only Kosher style, but together with The Princess, we managed to insure that ALL of the food was also GLUTEN FREE as well. I can not tell you how wonderful the chef and the entire staff at The Princess was to work with, and the fact that Michelle could enjoy every last bite of her wedding feast, made the evening so memorable for them both.
