Dessert Table: Mpls/St. Paul Weddings Magazine Bridal Party II

Yeah! They're here! Pictures from the dessert table I designed for the Mpls/St. Paul Weddings Magazine Bridal Party were just hand-delivered by my fave photog, Tricia Little of Sweet Shibui Photography. The table was designed based on this inspiration board.

 

 

I had so much fun designing this table and participating in my first bridal expo event. I met so many energetic brides and talented bridal industry insiders. The table featured custom macaron towers, a chic grey cake that echoed the gown's floral bodice, custom shortbread cookies, and grey hand-painted truffles.

I have to thank some of the amazing vendors who helped bring my design to life. Karen of Sugar and Flour, Patrick and Amy of Patrick's Bakery, Lynn of Franklin Street Bakery, and Krista and Ly of Sweets Bakeshop.

I want to say a special, heart-felt "Thank you" to my friend Calie of Love Barklee who stood in heels for six hours touting my skills to any and every bride willing to listen.

Dessert Table: Mpls/St. Paul Weddings Magazine Bridal Party

Some pictures from last month's 2010 Bridal Party at The Depot are finally here! I was so excited to view my proofs last night. To refresh your memory, here's the inspiration board that inspired the table's design.

 

The bride's bodice is beaded with sparkly cherry blossoms, which are echoed in various ways throughout the table. As promised, Trish Little's pics put my hurried shots to shame. 

It's going to be so hard to narrow down all of the beautiful images, but I'll have more for you Friday. I'll also fill you in on some of the great vendors who helped bring my design to life.

Recap: Mpls/St. Paul Magazine Weddings Bridal Party

There's only one word to describe yesterday's event at The Depot in Minneapolis. "Wow!" Mpls/St. Paul Weddings Magazine produced the event and The Knot hosted it. There were so many great vendors that I hadn't had the opportunity to meet before.

One lucky bride-to-be, Michelle, won a giftbox with a sample of every dessert on the table.

This is just a sneak peek at some of the samples I offered. I took some other shots of the table, but only the fabulous Tricia Little can really capture all the yummy details. Be sure to check out the inspiration board that inspired the table's design. Stay Tuned!
