When I was a little girl I thought I was going to be a food stylist. Ok, so I didn’t know what a food stylist really was, but I loved looking at the pictures in my mom’s magazines and cookbooks and knew I wanted to recreate those photographs!
In college I worked as the store stylist at a Williams-Sonoma store. It was so much fun to take their fabulous products and display them in a way that was visually appealing and enticing. And that’s exactly what we try to do with our wedding menu items, too.
They say that you “eat with your eyes first” and I certainly agree. And why would we work so hard to perfect every detail of the decor and then not think about styling the food as well?
Jaime and Shane were self-professed “foodies” and chose the ever-delicious Mediterra Catering to create a stunning menu for their fall 2008 wedding. They wanted to use fresh, seasonal ingredients and very clean flavors that paired with the variety of wines they chose specifically to pair with each station of food. Naturally, they also wanted the food to be displayed in a way that was fitting of the season and elegantly chic.
And this is what should happen when everyone is enjoying the food– CHEERS!
