Highgrove May Weddings


May is here and we are full swing into the wedding season! Our weekends have been packed with beautiful events celebrating wonderful couples along with delicious food and fun. Here are some of the highlights from our first weekend in May.

The color scheme was gold and black... very elegant!

Glass gold chargers at each guest seat with the bride's own handmade napkin rings.

The bride's dress was a perfect fit for her!

The guest book-- a balloon made up of the guests' finger prints and signatures

The place cards were also the guest favors of handmade chocolates-- delish!

Guests were welcomed by our Cookies and Cork display upon their arrival.  A pairing of three different wines with homemade sweet and savory cookies.

Our Pulled Pork and Carolina Slaw Sliders

Another wedding.. isn't the chandelier hanging from the pergola lovely?


Creative idea! The bride and groom had the guests write date night suggestions on tongue depressors-- a perfect fit for this dental couple.

Our "Mr. and Mrs. Creamery" Ice Cream Station with Vanilla Ice Cream with Homemade Peanut Brittle and then Mint Chocolate Chip Milkshakes and Cherry Cheesecake Milkshakes!

The flowers were over the top for this wedding!

Our Fried Green Tomatoes on Crostini with Salsa and Pimento Cheese

Another event... the flowers were perfect for this time of year... pastel and beautiful


The linen is a sheer Rosette overlay-- it is gorgeous! 


Our Pasta Station was one of the 4 food stations featured that night. Guests also enjoyed the Serrano Station, a Kabob Station with Jasmine Rice and Salad, and a Carved Pork Station with Homemade Blue Cheese Chips and Carolina Slaw

April Highgrove Highlights

Here are some of the highlights from the weddings from the last weekend in April. We had three events but I wasn't able to capture the images from one of the nights. They were all fantastic parties for amazing couples (with two out of the three couples meeting through online dating!) I wanted to include one menu, and the Friday dinner was amazing! It was an intimate celebration with a plated meal featuring our Beef Tenderloin with Prawns over Shitake and Leek Risotto with White Truffle Oil, Chicken stuffed with Goat Cheese and Spinach and Roasted Pepper over Orzo, and Polenta Crusted Cod served with Shrimp and Grits... delicious! Below are the pictures from the Saturday and Sunday weddings...
Saturday Wedding- family style with individual menus on each table
