Although we do appreciate the simplicity of going casual, it’s just so fun and classy to have a formal event. Even more so when that event is a bridal shower!
Jacquie’s team was positively inspired to host a stunningly elegant mid-day bridal shower at the Westfield home of the mother of the bride. Tables were carefully set with patterned family china and draped in soft coordinating colors, and silverware laid out by Jacquie's team.
Guests began to arrive at 11:30, greeted with butler-served rose’ champagne and hors d’oeuvres, including:
After all guests had arrived and mingled, lunch was served at 12:30, paired with a choice of Chablis or Pinot Noir.
The first course began with a farm-fresh salad of Field Greens, Shaved Asparagus, Slivered Rainbow Radish, Edible Flowers, and Poached Organic Farm Eggs, served with a Champagne Vinegrette.
The second course included a choice of:
Pan Roasted Organic Chicken Breast with Foraged Morels, Tarragon Baby Steamed Spring Potatoes and Haricot Vert Bundle
or
Pan Seared King Ora Salmon with Baby Steamed Spring Potatoes and Haricot Vert Bundle.
And finally, a beautiful and mouth-watering dessert:
Valrhonna Pot de Creme with Homemade Shortbread Cookie – which happens to be one of Jacquie Bols’ favorites. (We probably don’t have to tell you it was very well received!)
It was a positively exquisite celebratory brunch, from its sparkling (rose’) start to its decadent chocolatey finish! It’s such a treat to go formal! Our best wishes to the soon to be married couple!
