“Champagne Reception”

November 11th, 2009

As you remember from a previous post, Cassandra Santor was Featured Coordinator for Bride & Bloom Magazine: Designs for Weddings and Life. She was asked to create a “Spring Reception” and came up with this Gatsby inspired, peach and champagne theme. “The dinner settings were soft, sophisticated, and billowy, perfect for an intimate setting.” Each person received a flight of champagne (three two ounce pours, one for each course) and the purveroys details were tagged on each stem in a style that fit perfectly with the invitations created by Lisa Tse of Ink Box Design Botique.

What wasn’t talked about in the previous post is the cake. The cake was a design from Kennedy Confections in Massachusetts. They created this one of a kind three-dimensional fondant covered cake on location in Newport, Rhode Island at the spectacular Belle Mer. To this date, this is one of Cassandra’s favorite cakes. She loves the simplicity of the design, yet it makes a bold and elegant statement. The icing comes off the cake in swirls and takes the skilled professional hand of an expert confectioner.

Check out the cake in all its glory.

Featured Coordinator

January 10th, 2008


May I have a drum roll please???

The Spring Issue of Bride & Bloom magazine is on newsstands and I am a Featured Coordinator! The question that was presented to me was: “How would you design your Spring wedding?” I happened to be on location in Rhode Island, for wedding research. So I pulled together a team in the area, quickly! Gatsby inspired I responded with a “Champagne Reception“. My color theme was tone-on-tone golden cream to varied apricot. Styled as soft, sophisticated, billowy and intimate. Set in Newport Harbor at Belle Mer, the venue was ideal for an ocean side reception that would feel warm and inviting. Each vendor was phenomenal, as was each drop of champagne.
I’ll leave you to take a look here and then grab the issue. 
PS  Jackie and JFK were married on September 12, 1953, Newport :gorgeous:
