My last and final post about our trip to Illinois in August! I’ve covered chocolate, pie and cupcakes and now the grand finale—the wedding!!! Jeremy and Lisa worked together at the church we went to in Rockford and when we left a mere 2.5 years ago she wasn’t even dating anyone but before we knew it she was engaged to Adam and it was wedding time! Lisa is a very detailed oriented person so I expected alot out of this wedding and I can honestly say I was not disappointed! It was totally a gorgeous, picture perfect wedding. Seriously.
The ceremony was at 1, with a dessert reception immediately following outside on the front lawn of the church. There was a white tent with the most amazing spread of mini cupcakes, cheesecakes, chocolate-dipped strawberries, hand pies, mini brownies and chocolate dipped pretzels. I LOVE mini anything, especially desserts, so it was a feast for the eyes! And her colors were some of my favorites…pink, grey, black and white. Loved it.
A few hours later there was a dinner reception at the Rockford Art Museum. The venue was awesome but even more awesome was this candy buffet! It had gummies, Jordan almonds, Circus Peanuts, lollipops, gumballs, jelly beans and taffy. So fun!
Lastly, the wedding cake! Isn’t it so sweet?? To my surprise this was a strawberry shortcake cake! The frosting on the outside looked like buttercream but was actually a whipped cream frosting and the inside was layers of yellow cake with strawberries and more whipped cream in between! Loved it. Definitely different and memorable!
We were so happy we were able to share in Lisa and Adam’s special day and wish them all the best!
