Autumn Colors - JEN & CHRIS

Jennifer & Chris

11.8.08

A very gracious and hospitable mother of the bride, Bonnie, contacted me to provide a post-ceremony spread at her lovely home in Yardley between the ceremony and the reception for her guests returning from church. Her daughter, Jennifer, tied the knot to her long-time high school sweetheart, Chris. Awwww
(Photos of her gorgeous Autumn Wedding to come)

I wanted to provide something seasonally special for Bonnie and her guests.
"Homestyle" Edibles are my favorite because I always have plenty of room to provide a more creative spread. In this particular case, Bonnie was kind enough to let me have freedom on creating an appetizing table-scape full of Jennifer's Autumnal colors.

Bonnie requested a customized delivery for her daughter and bridesmaid upon return from the salon, which we happily provided in the morning.

We then returned in the afternoon to set up for her 30 guests with her customized menu of fruit, cheese and mini pretzels. Just enough to take the edge off in time for cocktail hour at the country club reception.

Hello, little fruit swan!

Say Cheese!


I look forward to seeing the bride and groom and bridal party pics and will update this entry as soon as received!

The TEACHER gets Hitched!

ERIN and TODD

Miss Erin is getting married!

Signs and cards from Erin's 2nd grade class filled her hotel suite as the excited bride and her mom anxiously awaited the arrival of the hair/makeup staff and bridesmaids.

Mr. Wedibles and I showed up 9 a.m. with a healthy spread of fruit, yogurt, granola and cheese/veggies to accommodate Erin and her friends as they prepared for Erin's Sunday wedding to Todd.




The drive to Erin's hotel was breathtakingly beautiful with the colors of fall vibrantly exploding from the trees. She and Todd certainly picked a most picturesque time of year to say "I DO". Her flowers certainly reflected that!
We were warmly greeted by Erin and her mom as we set up her mini buffet. I could tell she may have been a little nervous but her face was alive with the promise of a gorgeous Autumn Wedding!
It's not every Wedibles function that I am fortunate enough to get to see the bride "after" or dressed up in her bridal gown and ready to get to the alter. (Usually brides are about to get hair/makeup ready and I quickly set-up and skeedaddle out of there!) Today we were treated to a glowing, smiling bride, parents that were beaming with pride, and elegantly dressed bridesmaids.

Erin looked like a vision! Her gown was a masterpiece of candlelight satin and bejeweled with beading and crystals to set off her "something-borrowed" cameo necklace from her great, great-aunt.


Her mother was lovely in a plum satin gown befit for a ball. Dad was too nervous to eat but ready to get the wedding started and relax at the reception.

We felt so honored to have a little part in Erin and Todd's special day!

Filming a Movie, Obama & McCain and Kathy's Wedding!

CUTE AS A BUTTON!

Early morning delivery of Wedibles to the lovely, sophisticated DOUBLETREE HOTEL in center city, Philadelphia. That's how this gorgeous October 11, Saturday began for me as I was to meet knottie Teamhealy08, aka Kathy on her bridal morning.

Speaking to her earlier in the week, she was the epitome of a calm and relaxed bride with a light perkiness that was adorable. Mid week, I got to reading her knot post of how she was somewhat anxious/panicky on a particular work morning...realizing that her wedding was only a mere days away and she still had things to do.
Kathy ordered a customized package. Bye-Bye Bachelor for the boys
and Bye Bye Bachelorette for the girls (including scones and fruit)

But this morning, she was lively, spirited, chippy and cute as a button. How do I describe her? Sweet, petite and someone you want to kidnap and take home for cookies and tea. Today, I had Mr. Wedibles with me (he's my muscle man), manuevering the streets of downtown Phila to get to the hotel.

Two FBI helicopters hovered overhead and he joked "they must know you are coming and need to secure the city". Kathy explained that they are filming a movie today in town (blank gun shots were heard), as well as certain protocall had to be followed for the impending arrival of Obama and McCain. This is a big day in the city....but let's face it...a wedding should and will take precedence over any of that! Come on...it's way more important than a movie and presidential nominee gathering, if you ask me (and other brides).

We arrived (double parked) and went to her hotel room. I knocked and asked if all the gals were "decent"...Kathy cutely replied in her sing song voice "Yes!!! Are we ready gals? There is a boy in the hallway and he's coming into the room". (Mr. Wedibles got a kick out of that because he knows that he is, in fact, a boy at 43.) He went off to deliver the groomsmen spread and I set up for the ladies in Kathy's gorgeous suite.

She was surrounded by her three lovely friends (one flew in from Arizona to spend a 24 hour wedding visit!), her mom (who was looking fresh and pretty with hair and makeup) and two friendly new faces (whom I had the privilege of meeting for the first time - their excellent repuations precede them), Janet Indorf from Face the Occasion and Natalie Pagano, haistylist.

I set up quickly because of the parking situation and my only regret is that I couldn't take more photos. I did see her dress. So pretty (I'm looking forward to getting some pro pics from her) and her shoes were killer!!!! They were a shimmery gold lace heel (to match Kathy's sexy gold toe polish). Very autumny and rich. I will be updating soon on her getting ready shots!

Mr. Wedibles was excited to be in the photo with such a cute blushing bride!

Here she is "after". She's glowing with happiness... and is it me or does the groom look super smitten with her? Congrats to them both!

SWEET SEPTEMBER for JEN & CHAD!!

This is why I love doing Wedibles.

Not only do I get a much-needed outlet for creativity, but I get greeted with smiles and anticipation for a memorable and cherished day!

Jen had contacted me back over the summer to provide Wedibles for her September wedding. Even her initial email was full of smiles and excitement! I felt like the sun was shining through my computer.

After contacting one another, I finally met her on her wedding day at her parents' home near Doylestown.

Her father greeted my husband and I at the door and watched as we quickly prepared the dining room table for the morning munchies. He was a very proud father....waiting anxiously for Jen to return from the salon with her mom. He made it a point to show us the gorgeous flowers that were dropped off for the bride.

Then Mark and I prepared the spread with roses that matched the bouquets and sweet treats for the bridal party to enjoy while they prepared for the big day ahead.


Upon entering, Jen and her mom gave us such warm and hospitable hugs. I can only imagine how special the guests must have felt at the wedding later in the day!

Jen looks giddy while reading a love note from her soon-to-be husband, Chad

Jen and Chad met at work and have prepared for this wedding with the phenomenal Jenn Poletti of Perfect Planners who met us later in the day at the Belle Voir Manor in Bensalem.

Like a fairytale, Jenn Poletti's sophisticated fairytale vision came to life with an elegant cocktail area and breath-taking dining room - complete with tea lights twinkling interspersed within tall, graceful floral centerpieces. Unbelievable!!!!! If only I had my camera with me!

She's ready! and beaming!

I love this pic of Jen "tying the knot"!

What a gorgeous couple!!!!
