TREND: It seems pie is the new wedding cake. Move on over cupcakes!
Pie has been served in lieu of cake at at least 4 of our recent weddings, including one this weekend and the gorgeous event pictured at right.

Here are this week’s showroom photos. Here’s an eye-catching (although admittedly time-consuming) way to dress up a Chiavari chair with a linen sash. Beautiful for a head table or along the back row or the center aisle of ceremony seating.
We dressed up our new kids’ table and kids’ chairs for a party. One of our employees’ grandson tries them out for size. Just right!

Our new children’s tables and chairs arrived just in time for last night’s Schmooze Fair, which we sponsored, in Skagit County. And they were a big hit! Our crew even tested out the stout little chairs, which held their own under 200+lb. men. Check out the photo at left (click on it for a larger version).
These tables and chairs are perfect for a children’s birthday party (remember the bouncy house, too!). Or create a special kids-only area at a wedding or family gathering. Tables are available in 6′ banquet and 48″ round sizes. The chairs match the look of our standard-size white folding chairs.
Food stations, a modular variation on the buffet, are a hip way to encourage mingling. They’re especially well suited to large weddings and corporate events, where you’d like guests to meet and get to know each other, because they offer more opportunities for interaction than a buffet or plated dinner. They also help prevent long buffet lines, an important issue to address at large parties.
You can offer guests an entire meal through food stations, with different entrees available at each table, or serve hors d’oeuvres and cocktails. Alternatively, consider following a plated dinner with dessert stations (cupcakes, pies, candy, crepes, mmm…) and a coffee bar.
Food stations are the perfect opportunity for featuring foods and drinks that are important to the event’s host company or guests of honor. For a multinational or multicultural wedding, they provide a special way to recognize the heritage of both families.
If you need ideas for what to serve, take a look at the list “Food Stations: 18 Exciting Ideas to Make Your Mouth Water” from IntimateWeddings.com. Scroll down to the very bottom for my personal favorite: the espresso bar. There is a great local provider for this type of station, V.I.P. Espresso Catering (photo at right) out of Burlington, WA.
Whatever foods you serve, get creative with the presentation. Use tables in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as cocktail tables, serpentine tables, round tables and rectangular tables. Top them with standard white linens or colorful tablecloths to complement the food. We also offer several products for beverage service stations, including coolers, beverage bars and our new Fill ‘N’ Chill tables that hold ice and bottled drinks (photo at left).
