Fantasy Frostings makes some of the most delicious wedding cakes and desserts in Southern California, and when we received their “Cake in a Jar” box a few weeks back, we were reminded just why their reputation is what it is. YUM! For those of you in the LA area, don’t miss their newly expanded offerings that include wedding dessert buffets, and look for “Cake in a Jar” to be available on their website by Valentine’s Day!

Theo Chocolate is one of our very favorite local companies here in Seattle, not only because their chocolate is crazy, crazy good, but because they are the first and only organic and Fair Trade chocolate factory in the country. Not a small feat. Theo is generously giving away their eight piece winter confection box, a box of their grey salted caramels and a box of their pink salted caramels –  all popular confections with couples looking for alternative wedding desserts and take-home favors that their guests will cheer them for! Check out their website to learn more and see all the wedding chocolate possibilities!

 

 

Lisa Dupar is a multi-talented chef and caterer, and with her new cookbook Fried Chicken and Champagne you can taste a little of her kitchen genius yourself. We’ve long been fans of Lisa, her food, and her restaurant The Pomegranate Bistro, and think this cookbook will make for some fantastic home-cooking date nights for you and your newly-wed.

 

 

Tom Douglas has made a huge name for himself in the food world (Iron Chef anyone?) and we’re so proud to have him as one of our home-town Seattle foodies. If you’ve ever eaten at one of his many mouth-wateringly good restaurants like The Dahlia Lounge, Palace Kitchen, Lola, Etta’s or Serious Pie or if you’ve been lucky enough to attend a wedding at the Palace Ballroom you know that his cooking comes from the heart. That’s why we adore his line of “Rubs with Love” and why we think that you too will have a blast cooking at home with the many different rubs that are included in the Holiday Gift set we’re giving away today.

 

 

Signature cocktails are a wonderful way to add some personalized pizazz to a wedding day, and no one does them quite like the company Luxurious Wedding | Dress the Drink. With this super cool package, Dress The Drink will have one of their premier mixologists create a custom signature cocktail and recipe for your wedding based on your theme, colors, interests, or wedding inspiration. They’ll provide you with a cocktail design consultation and recipe creation, the recipe and image of the cocktail named in your honor, and luxe cocktail garnishes for the bride and groom’s wedding cocktails. What fun! For more informaiton and lots of chic cocktail recipes, check out the Luxurious Wedding – Dress the Drink website and blog.

 

A very special thank you Fantasy Frostings, Theo Chocolate, Lisa Dupar and Company, Tom Douglas and Luxurious Wedding | Dress the Drink for generously donating this giveaway. You’re the best!

Bright White, Charcoal and Cream Wedding at Vibiana in LA – Tram and Gregory

December 17, 2010 | editorial team

This pretty and sophisticated wedding of Tram and Gregory, photographed by Caroline Tran Photography, has simply won my heart! I love the bright white look and the feeling of modern romance that leaps from the pictures. Beautiful!

The Goals: Tram and Gregory’s stunning wedding was just what they imagined – a contemporary, sophisticated and elegant affair in the perfect setting – the dramatic Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles. Getting the location and food right were the most important goals for the day, and the rest was filled in by the work of talented professionals and fun family DIY touches.

The Design: Tram began her wedding design theme after discovering the silver dresses for her bridesmaids. She added charcoal and cream to the wedding color palette, and they all fit perfectly within the striking white venue, Vibiana. The wedding ceremony was held outside in the courtyard and flowers and a beautiful lush arch were added to give the surroundings a garden-like feel. Inside the reception the room was decorated with sleek white flower arrangements, charcoal tablecloths and wedding favor boxes and silver Chiavari chairs. The wedding cake from Phoenix Bakery was made of white cake, butter cream and fresh strawberries. Its clean white look with a sprinkling of pink orchids was the perfect touch of color in the room.

The Look: Tram’s wedding dress was designed by Jenny Lee and found at The White Dress. She wanted her look to be sophisticated and elegant, so she chose simple but beautiful designs. Tram’s favorite item to wear was the lace veil handmade by her sister, which matched the lace on her dress. The bridesmaids’ chic silver dresses were by Laundry by Shelli Segal, and Gregory wore a perfectly cut modern suit by Hugo Boss

The Moments: When asked what her most memorable moment of the day was, Tram answered that “Every moment was memorable. From the time I had my makeup and hair done to the our very last dance.” but she especially loved walking down the aisle and seeing her friends, family and father looking at her. During the ceremony she got nervous, so she says “Gregory whispered very nice things to keep me calm.” So sweet!

The Pros: For the full list of the many wedding professionals who contributed their time and talents to this wedding, be sure to visit our Real Wedding section!
