The Gathering French Inspired Elopement Dinner
As recent French newlyweds, this couple desired to celebrate the start of married life by hosting a dinner party for their closest friends and family. They are artists inspired by the rustic countryside and living a simple life. As they spend most evenings enjoying a glass of wine and curling up to a good book, they also wanted to enjoy a casual evening with their loved ones.
Each dish was deconstructed prior to it’s final preparation to show each ingredient in it’s raw form. Beautiful herbs, vegetables, and fruits came together to make a stunning meal. The guests were greeted with assorted radishes with whipped butter, baked brie with smoked apricot, honeycomb, and bread. Following the horderves was a rustic salad, brown butter poached fish with leeks, tomatoes, and haricot verts, and beef bourguignon with crusty bread. Cocktails featured muddled blackberries and basil garnish. The evening continued with raspberry tarts and blackberry cheesecake for dessert.
As the night stars began to show, this newlywed couple, along with their dear guests, toasted to a happy life! Thank you to Live View Studios and The Gathering for hosting this enchanting styled shoot!
