The Leonardo Grand Opening | Wednesday Wisdom

Wednesday, 7 December, 2011

We at Culinary Crafts are constantly looking for new and different venues for our clients.  We know that the venue is VERY important to the event, not only to maintain the look and feel our clients envision, but to work with venues that will make our client’s overall experience the best it can be.  On that note, one of the newest venues we are happy to announce is The Leonardo!  We had the distinct honor of catering the Opening Gala and ribbon cutting!  It was AMAZING – from the decor, to the attendees, the venue itself, and, of course, the FOOD!  Take a look!

Love the local vendors, such as Beehive Cheese Co., that we were able to spotlight at this event!

Such a FANTASTIC night and FABULOUS venue.  I love that we were able to delight the guests with one of my favorite new stations, the Doughnut Bar Ring of Fire Action Station!  Such a dazzling and delicious dish, and it fit in perfectly with the wonder and beauty of The Leonardo!  I encourage everyone to go check out this new and impressive space!  It won’t disappoint!

Monday Musing: Lavender Wedding

Monday, 5 December, 2011

We here at Culinary Crafts cater over 300 weddings a year so it would make sense that our entire team of
wedding specialists work constantly to create flawless celebrations for dozens of brides every week – and one of our recent favorites was a gorgeous outdoor wedding, complete with gorgeous decor, scrumptious food, and fabulous florals.  One of my favorite ways to create a unique look that is simple yet stunning is by using non-traditional flowers or plants at your event – and this wedding had just that!  Whether its succulents, holly, kale, artichokes, rosemary, or lavender,  these options definitely add a feeling of natural and organic beauty.  In this wedding, they chose to use lavender to add the purple pop to their color palette and it was beautiful in their outdoor garden venue.  They had a simple elegant design and the sprigs of the beautiful purple blooms added a bit of visual interest (and I’m sure smelled WONDERFUL). Take a look!

Not only was their wedding drop dead GORGEOUS, but they had a ton of DELICIOUS food from yours truly!   At this wedding, the rustic wood fire pizza oven fit right in – as did the pizza, which was provided one of our favorite new vendor partners, Surefire Pizza, of course! Pair that with one of our new favorite action stations, the doughnut bar, and you have an event that’s dreamy, delectable, and down right STUNNING.  Happy planning!
