Wedding – Reception and Desserts

Happy Friday, everybody! This is my final wedding  post and I have really appreciated every kind comment, email and message from you all. I know that quite a few readers are engaged and/or just planning for the future, so don’t hesitate to email or tweet me if you have any questions about wedding planning. Am always happy to help!

Guests milling around before we had our first dance – to the right were all the dinner tables, from here they had a 180 view of San Francisco including the bridge to the very left.

Coming up are photos of our dessert table – apparently this was one of our guest’s favorite aspects about the wedding and my advice to other brides and grooms would be to provide as much food and dessert as possible. People just seem to like looking at huge spreads of food.

Macarons – they are one of Mr. Feather’s favorite desserts in the world!

Some fresh fruit and dried fruits – I personally love fruit and sometimes don’t like having too many super sweet items for dessert.

Our giant Funfetti cupcake and tiers of cupcakes below 🙂

Some various hard candies..

Also as I’ve mentioned before, I LOVE See’s Candies so we had our favorite flavors displayed as well as these little cards showing what was in each of them. The next morning when we woke up, one of the first things Mr. Feather and I said to each other was, “Hey, do you think there are any See’s left from the wedding??” There were a few that we discovered our planner sent to the hotel with us and we gobbled them down!

Again…thank you all so so much for all your beautiful words about our wedding. We poured our hearts and souls into this event, and in the end wanted it to be a nice and memorable experience for our family and friends. It’s wonderful to be able to share it with you all.

    Your dessert table looks amazing! We had a wonderful cake, but that's it. I loved the venue where we got married, but they really charged up the wazoo for even a little extra food (aka I wouldn't be surprised if lemon drops adding a couple hundred to the bill…grr!) I guess that's a lot of places in SF generally though….
    If you don't mind me asking, where did you get married? That view of SF looks pretty amazing 🙂

I am inspired by your funfettish and I plan to make a batch of funfetti ice cream this weekend and name it "Feather Flavor." I'll post that and let you know how it turns out!

    I love that you used Jem's version of Maybe I'm amazed for your dance.

    We used it for the last dance of the night at our wedding. I, too, discovered it on the OC.
    Our DJ was quite a bit of a flake and he got the actual version from the show. So while the song was playing, we got to hear the whole conversation the characters have at the end.
    Sigh, there's always something you want to change from the "big day" (like your light cover).

    Beautiful pictures. Congratulations!
