A Rustic Wedding on the Russian River

July 13, 2009

Tablescape and Pom-Pom Napkin

The entire wedding was outdoors. The reception took place on a beautiful bank along the Russian River. The large oak picnic tables were simply set with a magenta orchid, two green table runners, and succulent favors at each plate.

Wow. That spread looks pretty good to me.

They had two rings off the top of cake, so only the future will tell if the cake is correct! ;)

Love to see the kransekake! And for anyone who's not likely to encounter it at a Norweigan wedding anytime soon, the batter is simple to make and bakes very well in sticks if you haven't got access to the ring molds to make the whole cake.

I cannot feign being fastidious here, because honestly, my favorite part of ANY wedding is the food! The Carmelized Onion Tarts and the Brandade Tart look absolutely heavenly. I'm going to also have to look for those golden beets at my local farmer's market--I have never even seen those before! Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures.

so, how many rings did they break off!? lovely setting, and the food and set up look beautiful. had wedding been done there before, or was that their idea? i guess i will never be a true foodie, anything like duck fat is O-U-T. goat cheese is as out there as i get :(

The food and the atmosphere look like the perfect balanced of relaxed and really well thought out.

kia, it is meant to have around 18 rings. The bride and groom are meant to put their fingers on the top ring, and pull off, and how many rings they pull off they will have. Usually the rings are fastened with less royal icing than that, so not to bring the entire cake along. I brought with me a cake like that on the plane to France as a gift to my host family when I visited - and I had to send my host mother the recipe and the molds afterwards so she could duplicate it. It tastes yummy.

What a lovely spread and location. Just lovely. The bride's mother is a little over the top with that many tiers if she hopes for that many grandbabies. That was a bit funny.
