(Above) This stunning confection by Jules’ Bistro is a study in rustic elegance. Chocolate layers await under salted- caramel buttercream frosting and a salted-caramel drizzle cover. Toffee and cappuccino roses, mini cymbidium orchids, blood oranges, starfruit and mixed dried flowers, thanks to St. Cloud Floral, make it even more luscious.
(Below) The perfect ceremony site can be perfectly simple. Botany Creative Works opted for a backdrop of arched panels inspired by the architecture of the ’60s and early ’70s, with the era’s signature tones of earthy orange, gold and dusky rose. The hanging installation by St. Cloud Floral is set off by the venue’s exposed brick for a contemporary yet classic look infused with the warmth of natural materials.
