Our dear friend Erica Miller designed all of the custom paper items for the Moroccan Evening. Inspired by the Moroccan tiles, Erica designed a custom Mandala for both Amy’s Dessert Table and the Sunday Supper Table – allowing both tables to relate well to each other and create a cohesive story. The colors and scale of patterns of the dinner table were a softer interpretation of the designs.
For those of you who don’t know what a Mandala is, it’s quite a beautiful concept…in Sanskrit ma??ala literally means “essence” It is a concentric diagram having spiritual and ritual significance in both Buddhism and Hinduism and represents”circle-circumference” or “completion.” Erica at Thoughtful Day created a Mandala for Karen’s wedding invitations last year, and thus inspired the tradition. It was a beautiful way to create a unique logo that was infused with a bit more meaning. We were clearly thrilled to have Erica design another mandala for SS, and all the proper paper goods that followed ! For those of you who may not be familiar with Erica’s work, you must see it immediately. Erica’s line of Invitations (both custom & mix and match suites) are elegant and delightful at the same time. And not only is Erica Super talented, she is one of the sweetest-funniest-cutest people you’ll ever meet. Check out her Wedding Invitations here and her awesome wedding blog here. Erica’s full suite included recipe cards for our guests to take home. Each recipe card had its own unique border all complimenting one another. Along with the recipe cards and the cookie bags from Amy’s table…guests took home these adorable jars of home made preserved lemons. Erica designed the tags for these jars and the cookie packaging as well. Thank you e! xoxo
We’ll be posting tips on how to preserve your own lemons at home soon.
We asked Pour Wines to come in for our french dinner – to do a little wine pairing with each course. Vanessa was our Sommelier for the evening and did a fantastic job. Check out Pour Wines, they have a very cool shop uptown, a great website (with a wine pairing tool) and when you purchase wines – they keep a little log for you of all your favorites and preferences.
Well, here it is – and some of you guessed it ! Saipua Flowers did a guest appearance at our French Dinner and we were so thrilled !! Sarah is such a pleasure and talent to work with, We sent her our vintage french wallpaper as inspiration and this is what she came up with ! We will be posting more about the decor & recipes soon but for now, enjoy these precious creations by Saipua.
Ok, so this vendor spotlight is not totally local or sustainable,but …as Casey says “Oh my French Butter, It’s a necessary sin! ”
This is a kitchen must have. Low water content and minimal maturation give this butter a sweet clean and creamy taste. Don’t just take my word for it- go buy it- right now!!!
We paired our rhubarb strawberry cobbler with the perfect ice cream, vanilla from Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory (have you been ? it’s the cute, all natural, somewhat touristy but delightful creamery in dumbo…go check it out ) we highly recommend it
We were so excited when Jessie at Rountree Flowers agreed to do our flowers for last week’s brunch, and when we received them…well “holy mama”!( as casey would say !) The arrangements were made of wildflowers, garden roses, queen anne’s lace, artichokes, mushrooms…yes mushrooms. They tied in perfectly with our brunch decor and we were so thrilled.
Check out the photos below…& stay tuned for more pics of the brunch & recipes coming soon !
And please check out Jessie’s work- she is so talented and sweet & amazing to work with – we can’t recommend her enough. Check out her site here, she does weddings, events and gift arrangements. And she has an office in newport as well.
