Guests arriving at this weekend’s wedding received this amazing Gift box, in The Wedding theme colors and signature Peacock Feather. Inside held some of the couples Favorite Chicago Made Sweets. Included were Custom Lollipops from Candiality, Garretts Popcorn, Damn Good Cookies, Frango Mints, Fannie Mae Chocolates, Custom Cookies from Sarah’s, Tootsie Pops, Lays Potato Chips and Chicago Made Lemonheads, Milky Way & Snickers amongst other goodies.

After a morning of Mani’s and Pedi’s with her Bridesmaids, the Girls headed to their Bridesmaids Luncheon. I designed a real “Girly Girl” atmosphere with a French Inspired Menu.
Classic French Soup, Frisee Salad with Lardon, Crisp Pancett and Egg with Red Wine and Shallot Vinaigrette, Coq Au Vin with Mushrooms & Pearl Onions, Winter Root Vegetables, and for Dessert a Trio of Creme Brulee, Petit Four and Berry Tartlette. Sarah gifted all her maids with Designer Sunglasses. The start to an incredible weekend.
