It was an early start this morning as I headed out to the county to set up a beautiful breakfast grazing spread for a bride-to-be, her bridesmaids and Mom at the absolutely stunning The Barn Out Back in Essex! 💍🥂
And WOW… what a place!
Definitely giving off some serious rustic “Michelle/Karma” vibes — just on a MUCH grander and more gorgeous scale!
From the Airbnb and beautiful property to the ceremony area and incredible barn, everything was so warm, rustic and inviting. And Mother Nature certainly understood the assignment today! What a spectacular fall day for a wedding. Some photos of the lovely barn and grounds attached.
Unfortunately, my photos of the finished food spread didn’t turn out quite as well as I’d hoped (occupational hazard when you’re busy making everything pretty! 🤦🏻♀️), so I’ve included a few behind-the-scenes prep photos too!
On the girls breakfast menu this morning…
My homemade egg salad, dressed up with some beautiful edible flowers. Whipped cream cheese with honey — one half topped with my homemade berry compote and the other with everything bagel seasoning. Lots of delicious goat cheese, creamy brie and all the yummy accompaniments. Fresh croissants, bagels and plenty of breakfast grazing goodness!
Best of all? The bride-to-be and her entourage were hungry and thrilled! And that’s certainly what makes the early mornings and hard work worthwhile.
But WAIT… there’s more!
Next up, it’s back to prepping before heading out to celebrate my girl Taylor and the GRAND OPENING of her very own business…
🦓✨ THE TAILORED HOUSE ✨🦓
Hair Extensions • Blow Out Bar • Medical Aesthetics in the heart of Tecumseh.
The Karma bar is going mobile today, and I’ll be setting up and serving up some fabulous zebra themed TH specialty cocktails and more!
Stay tuned for photos from that event.
And THEN… because apparently I don’t know how to sit still…
It’s off to Karma to open at 8 PM for the night! With live music from Joel Mayville starting at 8:30. 🎶
WHEW!!! Just another 12 hours to go! 😉🤣
If you’re interested in some catering and/or bartending for your next event, make sure you get in touch. I can’t wait to make something special happen for you as well!
❤️ Michelle
