Hello!It's been a little while since I've done a Wedding Diary Post, so I decided to bridge the gap and share with you our latest installment of planning.
Last night we had our official tasting for the meal we will be having on the big day.
We were really impressed with the catering company.
First we had an assortment of hour d oeuvres placed before us, complete with edible spoons; followed by a butter lettuce salad of oranges, strawberries, and a pomegranate dressing that was to die for.
For the main course we tried each of our selections- Atlantic Salmon in a Dill Cream Sauce, and Brie and Pine Nut Stuffed Chicken breast in cranberry sauce.
We decided the Salmon was a clear winner, while the chicken left just a little something to be desired. So we are going with the salmon and tenderloin, which will provide a nice choice between white and dark meat =)
But the clear star of the show was the chocolate tulip placed before us at the end of the meal:
It was like I had died and gone to chocolate heaven. Everything on the plate was edible, right down to the uncannily realistic chocolate grape leaves. I adored the presentation and can't wait to let my guests try it on the big day!
The whole time I sipped a buttery Quail's Gate chardonnay that complemented the meal perfectly.
Can't wait to eat it on the day of =)
