I recently attended an ISES workshop help on “Wedding Planning for the Modern Bride!” This event and others like it, help all of us to stay on top of what is up and coming in weddings and events this year. I will be blogging more about the “Top Twelve trends of 2012”, but let’s start with my love affair with the innovative dishes that I enjoyed with my table mates! These two topped our favorites list: oven roasted eggplant tart with wild mushroom reduction and banana caramel cheesecake! Thanks to all those who made this event possible. Classic Party Rentals, Events By First Rose, Boka Event Florals, BBJ Linen, Honeymoon Sweets, & Let them Eat Cake, as well as Sandy, and the staff at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa.

Looking forward to sharing the “Top Twelve trends for 2012” with you soon!

We had the pleasure of designing The Knot Cocktails & Connections Event on Thursday, September 15, 2011. We loved creating the “Green Glam” theme to showcase how an event can be modern with a touch of urban rust!  Bentley Project’s historical building was the perfect backdrop for the eco-chic cocktail party.  Our favorite highlights included the pairing of succulents with eclectic urban glass and bricks, the sumptuous spicy organic chocolate and champagne bar, the welcome flower aroma mist bar, the photo lounge with lush couches and a fabulous menu created from foods provided by local/sustainable purveyors … mouthwatering favorites included the poblano fries and chimayo braised pork sliders with lavender and spearmint yogurt! A special thank you to all of the vendors and raffle prize donors who participated: American Valet, Atlasta Catering, Bentley Projects, Butterfly Petals, Encore Creative, Envelope Envy, Got You Covered, Lotus Wei, MFS Event Technology, Pour Masters, Rust and Lace, Image-Industry Photography, Wei of Chocolate, Y Knot Party Rentals, Crate & Barrel, FireSky Resort & Spa, The Herb Box, Scottsdale Resort & Conference Center, and Seasons 52.
