Green Wedding in Orlando

New Year's Day, 2010, Katherine Fertakis and Jeffry Perkins were joined in matrimony. What a way to ring in the New Year! Their reception was held at the stunning Lake Mary Events Center.

The couple wanted a simple wedding with one request—to be as green as possible. This was something personal for the couple, not something they wanted to over emphasize to their guests. The menu we created was filled with organic ingredients and locally grown produce, including:

• Waterkist Farms Tomato and Mozzarella Bruschetta
  
• Matt’s Organic Satsuma Salad with locally grown Arugula, Satsuma oranges, sliced red onion, sliced almonds, shaved Parmesan in citrus vinaigrette
  
• Chicken Piccatta with a garlic, lemon caper sauce

To pay homage to their Greek and Filipino backgrounds, Lumpia Shanghai (a Filipino egg roll) was butler passed, and miniature baklava accompanied the dessert station.

Their color palate was very soft and earthy, showcased in their 4-tier wedding cake (made by Jennyfer Mancino from The Sugar Suite), escort cards and room décor. Another small symbol of their passion for green was seen in their favors. I personally LOVED this idea and solved that always difficult decision of whether or not to include favors…a reusable grocery bag (compact to boot)!


Katherine and Jeffry were a joy to work with from day one, and I’m proud to have fulfilled their desire to go Green on their wedding day!

Rusti Winslow and Chris Little Wedding

I had the joy of working with the sweetest couple over the past year - Rusti Winslow and Chris Little. They tied the knot on September 26, 2009 at the Lake Mary Events Center.

Talk about a fairy tale wedding! The ceiling was draped with beautiful sheer white fabric, with flowers by Lee Forrest – over the top georgeous, and to complete the look, white satin chair covers with organza bows, sheer white striped overlays, pink lamour napkins and a single silver coin at each placesetting with the couple's initials.

Soundwave provided the pink uplighting around the perimeter of the room and outside music for the ceremony. The beautiful bride entered to the tune of “pretty woman”, and the fun continued well into the evening.

Once the ceremony was complete, our professional service staff was waiting with butler passed hors d'oeuvres, full bar service and an artisan cheese display with a beautiful swan heart ice scuplture and pink uplighting to complete the scene.

Guests were invited into the ballroom for a wonderful plated dinner of a Tournedos of Beef Tenderloin Milano and Jumbo Prawns stuffed with Crab and accompanied by Creamy Corn Risotto and Asparagus.

Sheri Rinker – the day of planner was wonderful to work with and everything ran smoothly from start to finish.

I just want to say a “big” thank you to all of the vendors, the Puff 'n Stuff Catering service team, warehouse and kitchen staff because without all of you the bride’s dream would not have come true!
