]]>The Chocolate Bar: Edible Décor!Things We Lovehttp://azzurablog.com/blog/2008/9/22/the-chocolate-bar-edible-decor.htmlTania Shepard2008-09-22T21:23:05Z2008-09-22T21:23:05ZWhen I walked into Sharon and Jantzen's reception, I thought I had died and gone to coco heaven.  A dessert bar dripping in chocolate stretched for almost twenty feet, featuring every yummy thing I could imagine.  Seriously, it would have made Willy Wonka proud.  The best part was that it was so beautifully assembled that it actually added to the ambiance of the room.  What could be better than edible decor?

The Hotel Deca was the ideal venue for Kristina and Peter - the retro-chic look was so fabulous, and even Kristina' hair style (which I LOVED) matched the theme perfectly. Later this week I'll share some of the creative ways they brought in some Boston flair from Peter's home town.


When we started photographing, Kristina mentioned how much she loved Liesl and Nick's album that we have posted in our website portfolio. As soon as she said that, about a hundred ideas came to me! I can't wait to design their album, and we will be sure to share it when it is ready!

The image on the left is one of my favorites of the day - our flower girl is a budding photographer!  While we were photographing the whole wedding party, I noticed her stealthily taking some photos of everyone from the side ... before she knew it, she became the highlight of our photograph!
