A Cornicopia Tale

I am definitely a lover of the Holidays and as the years go by I get more excited around Thanksgiving about all of the culinary challenges I set my self up for.  My kitchen becomes a workshop of masterpieces and I will admit a few failures. This year I was instantly inspired by a farmers market challenge the day before Thanksgiving. My inspiration came just in time as 5pm was approaching and the Farmers Market was about to close(The Grocery store produce was just not the same). As I ran up to a few of the last growers loading up their trucks I grabbed handfuls of the most beautiful produce! How could I not make a "Harvest Basket" as my thanksgiving gifts.

I rushed home with excitement and asked my boyfriend with some assistance with the dough. I could tell he had a little doubt in my idea to create a cornucopia out of bread, but in reality it was not very hard at all. I googled cornucopia and bread and their were dozens of tutorials to choose from.  A few hours later here was my first attempt.....

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

The Beauty in the Details



















It is my job as a wedding designer to make sure that all the elements involved in the wedding are captured for the bride to keep. There is always so much going on, so many family members to say hello to, pictures to smile for...all of this can make time go very fast. I make sure to work with the photographers to grab all the details of  your day so you can look back on them and cherish them forever.
Here is a perfect example of how one of my favorite photographers Chaz Cruz  captures the wonderful experience of the bride and all her special ladies getting ready. This is easily overlooked but I make sure that we cover all aspects of your day...even getting ready! Make sure all your details are captured with Jennifer J Designs.
