Elegant in any Season

Weddings held early in the year offer the flexibility of relishing in the flurries of Winter or ushering in the first blossoms of Spring. This Monet fashioned cake seems to compliment both seasons, honoring Winter and welcoming Spring!

The Blossoms!

As we work our way through the last breaths of Winter we look forward to the awakening of the Gardens. Although many of our brides stage their weddings in the heart of Summer, there is nothing quite like the splendor of Springtime at the Chantilly Mansion.
The Gazebo is encircled in vivid green leaf buds that magically refashion into the most brilliant white as billions of fragrant blossoms literally burst forth before our eyes, filling the Corner of Church and Main with the incredible sweetness of pear blossoms.
Many great dates still remain in April when the trees are in their prime.

Review from Lisa's Mother

We wanted to thank Lisa, Michael and their family for allowing us to be part of their wonderful day!
This is a review left on Wedding Wire from Lisa's mother that we wanted to share!
 
Due to illness in our family, my daughter's wedding date was moved up, giving us three weeks to plan the wedding and change the location to the Salt Lake City area. As the mother of the bride, and living in another state, I was so grateful for the quick response and assistance from the owner and her excellent staff. She returned my inquiry within a few hours and my quote emailed to me that same day. The wedding was much more than we had hoped with such little time to plan due to the convenience of everything we needed right at the mansion. I highly recommend the Chantilly Mansion for a wedding and ceremony venue. The facility is beautiful, the staff very professional and the food is excellent!

Winter Wonderful!

This wedding was similar to photographing the moon or fireworks. It was impossible to capture just how magnificent it truly was! Amazing to think that we met with Lisa and her mother, and her fiance, Michael for the first time just 48 hours before the wedding took place. Lisa had dreamed and planned for a Fairy Tale wedding in New Zealand, but life made different plans for her and Michael. I am always delighted to see how sometimes the unexpected has a way of creating something even more magical than we could have ever imagined on our own. Every detail made the wedding of her dreams come to life in the shadows of the Wasatch Mountains. The tables were topped with felted wool and dressed to the hildt with a variety of shimmering ornaments for each guest to take home as a memory of this endearing event. Everywhere you looked there was something to intrigue and delight. Hundreds of origami flowers, lovingly hand folded were scattered throughout the mansion, creating a splendid paper garden. This is definitley one that will last in our memories forever!

Origami Cake!

A simple two tier cake baked and iced by My Sweet Wedding Cakes was brought to life with intricately folded origami flowers of ice blue, silver frost, and ivory snow.  Lisa and Michael had originally dreamed of a week long summer wedding celebration in New Zealand, where Lisa resides, but an endearing story of love and compassion and life's unexpected circumstances shifted their wedding to Utah. Lisa and her mother selected the perfect color palette, creating a Winter Wonderland filled with warmth and love that enveloped every guests. Not even New Zealand could have been more wonderful!

Origami Bouquet!

This bouquet was only one of the perfectly amazing elements of Lisa and Michael's wedding this past Thursday. Lisa made her own bouquet with hand folded origami flowers in a soft palette of blue, silver and ivory, embellished with clear gems and pearls. Her Maid of Honor carried a smaller version of the bride's bouquet, and each of the honored guests of the wedding party wore unique variations of paper flower corsages and boutonnieres. So Stunning!
