Love is Sweet

The lovely Tracey and Graham asked me to create a sweet table for their wedding reception which was held at the beautiful and historic Ayers House in Adelaide.  

The table was designed to complement the venue, style, details and colour of the wedding.  Thus, it was vintage inspired with a delicate lace backdrop and risers, strings of pearls, reels of ribbon and pearl and diamante brooches.  A pretty posy of pale pink roses and lilly of the valley gave the table a fresh, yet extra sweet touch.  The colour palette featured chocolate (the colour of the bridesmaid's dresses), cream and pink and hint of gold (the bride wore a pale gold gown).  

Guests filled personalised preserving jars with sweets including toffee and strawberry bon bons, milk chocolate hearts, white lindt balls, ferrero rocher, m&m's, milk bottles, chicos, teeth, musk sticks, marshmallows, lemonade and strawberry jelly beans, dollar musks, pink chocolate beans, licorice and raspberry bullets and gluten free lollies (for guests with specific dietary requirements).

It was such a joy and honour to create this table for Tracey and Graham and I wish them both so much happiness and love in their lives together.
