Presentation is everything: The Culinary Experience

I think we can all agree that food is one of the most important things at a wedding, but have you thought about appearance? I cannot emphasize this enough, Presentation is everything! It's the difference between your guests saying "well, that was lovely'' to "Wow! Now that was an experience!"

Following are some beautiful presentations that are super unique that I love!


Instead of the traditional wedding cake,  how about kicking it up a notch with an actual 'cheese' cake? There are many places in the city you can get this done. One place that is to die for is the Cheese Boutique on Ripley Avenue. They have any type of cheese you can dream of, and if they don't have it, I am sure they can get it.





Does anyone remember the days when human food platters or beautiful ice mounds of different caviar's were the luxurious trend? Well, I say bring them back!  Be unique with a Caviar and Vodka Ice bar.  For that chic artistic couple, dare to be different by having a human sushi platter with strategically placed sushi in the shape of your monogram!





 
Keep in mind that the quality and appearance of your wedding details should remain consistent throughout your reception.


Having an amazing cocktail hour full of signature drinks and fancy, tray-passed hors d'oeurves, would be pointless if you were just going to slap together roast beef and mashed potatoes as your main course.



 
Remember also, less is more with skillfully arranged, mouthwatering, culinary masterpieces.
No wedding would be complete without dessert. The other day, I was having dinner with my dear friend Melissa of et lofte events, and we were coming up with some pretty snazzy ideas! One idea that came up during dessert, was tray-passed milk and cookies!  I am in love with the idea of tray-passed desserts, in lieu of a late night sweets table. It's chic and elegant, not to mention a yummy end to a fabulous day!
