Absolutely Perfect

A few weeks ago, Jenny and I attended a catering open house hosted by Absolutely Perfect Catering. It was a really unique experience. Waiters walked out of the kitchen handing out hors d'oeuvres like tuna tartare and prime rib. There were also different stations, each with its own special theme, set up around the venue. Here were some of my favorites:

BBQ/Cookout Theme















           Sea Theme








My favorite theme, however, was the Willy Wonkaesque Candyland theme that featured a variety of desserts (candy trees, chocolate milk fountains, fondue fountains, a s'mores station with real flames, cake pop gardens).







It goes without saying that everything was beautiful and it all tasted absolutely perfect.


You can visit them at their website, http://www.absolutelyperfectcatering.com/ and set up a tasting. Be sure to tell them Jenny sent you!

Casey & Bryce: a modern love story

One week prior to the day he was to be married, Bryce could be found in Afghanistan fighting for his country.  What a story!  The first time I met Casey and Bryce was shortly after Valentine's Day, when he returned to the United States for a brief stint and surprised Casey for the romantic weekend.  That was when I was told that he would be overseas until right before the wedding.  

Casey said, either way, we'd have a party.
Party is what we had -- fortunately, celebrating the marriage of Casey & Bryce. 


To any bride-to-be, the rest of these pictures will be some wonderful eye candy.  Thanks so much to the creative eye of Erin Farrell of Erin Farrell Photography and her assistant Erin.  Although they are from DE, do give them a call.  It is worth having them travel down to Baltimore for pictures like these!  Thanks, ladies!


Casey and her mom love antique shopping -- and were in awe of the broach bouquet.  For months, they shopped ebay for 100s of broaches for Casey's bouquet and special ones as gifts for the bridesmaids. 


 

Casey even added one to her pearl necklace to tie all the details together.  

Perfectly matching the couple's vibrant personality, the colors and flowers really stood out!




As a special surprise, the mother of the bride found an old suitcase while antiquing and posted a map of the honeymoon spot with special "scrapbooking" details.  It made a great card holder!

 Dress change!

The night ended with a table of colorful Izze pop and a man dancing while popping popcorn.  
Needless to say, absolutely everyone enjoyed the party.



Oh, and I almost forgot -- the groom's twin brother just had a baby a few days before the wedding.  
So, because he couldn't attend, 
we arranged for him to do his best man speech and toast from a computer over Skype.
