And what’s a good Valentine’s Day round-up without a little bit of sweetness. Although they’ve been blogged about from here to high heaven, we couldn’t resist sharing a bit more from Amy Atlas’s most recent Valentine’s Day table…

With perfect paper accouterments by Wiley Valentine, this table is actually kind of a dream! Love, love, love.

Amy even has an amazing V-Day recipe up on her site right now…so worth the trip.

Dessert Buffet by Amy Atlas

I kind of think that it’s awesome that we are able to say, “We met Amy Atlas way back when…” Since she first hit the wedding scene, Amy has been kicking butt and taking names and I am so thrilled that we’ve been able to brag about all of her successes along the way. She is all talent, all style and just happens to be one of the sweetest girls around.

So if you aren’t already… now’s the time to get really jealous of her. Amy had the sheer pleasure of designing the holiday table for Gayle King at O Magazine! Of giving the gift of gorgeousness to Oprah’s right hand girl. How freaking cool is that.

Amy went with a fun, totally unexpected color palette of cherry red and lavender and filled the table with whimsical but totally gorgeous details. She used a modern snowflake pattern as her inspiration and brought that element into all of the different pieces. She used a tailored white table cloth but then added texture and pattern by draping red grosgrain ribbon across it. Mel Barlow snapped the pictures….and voila, the most beautiful dessert table EVER.

Some of the super sweet vendors who cooked up the treats…a gorgeous banana-flavored cake from Eat Cake Be Merry, banana-flavored chocolates from Norman Love Confections, and mini cupcakes from Love Street Cakes, Baked by Melissa, and Chikalicious.

To see all of the amazing details that Amy designed and Mel photographed, head on over to Amy’s blog, Sweet Designs. YUM!

Until I attended the Martha Stewart 15th Anniversary Party, I had never seen an Amy Atlas table design in person. And when I tell you that it was even better than I thought it would be…I am hardly doing it justice. Amy’s tables are right out of a dream and this one, that she crafted for one of her client’s cocktail parties, is BEYOND.

The photographer that captured the table is none other than Mel Barlow. Mel is one of Darcy Miller’s favorite photographers and a quick glance at Mel’s work will tell you why. I had the opportunity to meet Mel at the Martha event and she was pure loveliness. Just like her photographs.

What do I love about this table aside from EVERYTHING? Well…the color palette for one. It’s so stunning. So vibrant, fresh, fun. Every detail threads back to the perfectly chic color palette with the graphic print on the cake totally stealing the show. Love, love, love.

Amy has been sweet enough to share a bit of her inspiration…

The design was a geometric diamond motif and was largely inspired by a rug pattern. I always say that you can take your inspiration from anywhere! We thought that bold colors like bright pink and yellow would complement the pattern perfectly. We created mini cherry ice cream cupcakes with EDIBLE pink chocolate cupcake wrappers. These completely edible mini cupcakes are ideal for parties since guests can eat the whole cupcake without having to worry about throwing away a wrapper. We also made a diamond-shaped stained-glass cookie garland and a fondant cake with the diamond patter. Add to that, raspberry-lemon panna cotta and cake-filled truffles covered with pink and yellow sprinkles. Voila!

I don’t know how the girl does it but every table that Amy gets her hands on is total perfection. She has a great sense of style…chic and yet restrained. Her work is always edited to perfection so that the table and all of its perfect details can really shine.

Coming up next, we have a Lisa Vorce wedding that is sure to make your fall out of your chair.

And speaking of dessert tables, the most talented of them all, Amy Atlas, recently sent us a few pics of her latest design…made especially for Mindy Weiss’s Most Ridiculous Wedding Ever. Elizabeth Messina shot the drool inducing images and I have to say, I think that this might be one of Amy’s best!

I had the sheer pleasure of meeting Amy at the Martha Stewart Event last week and get to see one of her little creations in person…and it SERIOUSLY didn’t disappoint! Filled to the brim with probably the most perfect details I’ve ever seen, Amy’s tables are just about as good as it gets. Plus, she is a complete doll and you can just see the creativity stirring in her brain!

Take a peek at Amy’s blog and website if you are in the need for some major eye candy and wedding temptations. Both are basically a bride’s dream come true!

I love Amy Atlas. In a ridiculously huge way. Whenever she sends me one of her latest dessert tables, I drop whatever I am doing to get it up on the blog so that you guys get to see it first. This latest one is a total dream and although it was crafted for a birthday party, it could easily be translated into a pretty awesome wedding design!

Some delicious details from Amy…

This was an intimate, family gathering in Southhampton…it was a joint birthday party for the client’s son, Scott, and sister, Ellen. The color scheme was inspired by the linens and place mats that were used for dinner, as the client loved the pattern so much. Even the loop detail on the candy bags and popcorn cups had a pattern that mimicked the place mats.

We had a cake replicated to look like an A Lang & Sohn watch that the client purchased for her son’s birthday gift, also bringing in his watch details in the personalized popcorn cups and candy bags. Ellen, the client’s sister, loves hydrangeas so we designed additional cakes to look just like potted flowers. We carried that hydrangea detail into the petit fors as well. We filled Scott’s bags with reeses peanut butter cups and butterfingers and Ellen’s with her favorite cookie from a local hampton’s bakery.

I love how completely and totally personal this dessert table is. Each detail reflected the guests of honor in some way which is completely lovely. Thank you so very much to Amy for sending us today’s fabulous dessert table. Check out Amy’s other creations on her site and her positively gorgeous blog!

Dessert Buffet by Amy Atlas

There are few designers that can compete with the complete fabulousness that is Amy Atlas. Her dessert buffets are becoming the standard to which everyone looks to for inspiraiton…with details that will make any critic give up a few spirit sprinkles. In a word, she is amazing. So of course, when Amy sent me her latest masterpiece, I jumped up and down like a little girl in a candy store. Literally.

The incredible Pucci inspired dessert bar (I mean come on, how cool is that!) was complete with custom printed popcorn cones, cotton candy sticks, mini chocolate bars and a custom printed tablecloth. There were lots and lots of picture perfect desserts and candies like caramel marshmallows (ummm, yum) with tulip sticks and chocolate covered pretzel bites. Man alive, I would have killed for an invite to this little soiree!

The INCREDIBLE photographs were taken by the ridiculously lovely Karen Mordechai. Together with Amy Atlas, these images are basically all of my wedding dreams come true! Check out Amy’s site and blog for more eye candy and inspiration. And Karen’s for hours of wedding delight.

Dessert Bar by Amy Atlas

Abby Larson — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 16:02:36 +0000

Amy Atlas has been at it again…designing the most GORGEOUS dessert bar you have ever seen. This one, is sprinkled with touches of lavender and white, snow-kissed with glitter and perfection…

Karen Mordechai captured the drool-worthy images, and although they are stunning…I totally fault her for eating an entire container of marshmallows. The buffet was created for Elegant Bride and the Wedding Library’s Wedding Event at the New York Palace and included a crystal wedding cake adorned with sugar snowflakes, opalescent barber poles, billowy marshmallows, and fondant snowflake petit fors . YUM!

Wedding Details by Melangerie

Today’s featured Amy Atlas table had THE cutest silhouette boxes (and signage and candy bar wrappers) to add to the charm of her already perfect design and I just had to know who was behind these little gems. Turns out, it’s Melangerie…a NY based design company that specializes in bespoke gifts, chic memorabilia and event details for all types of occasions. Weddings included!

When one of their clients wanted to surprise her friend with a flower arranging class, Melangerie crafted this handmade paper flower bouquet that announced the lessons on an attached note. So cute!

This is probably my favorite of all of Melangerie’s featured designs…it’s a custom Spice Book designed for a woman’s 90th birthday party. The book is filled with her friend’s and family’s recipes along with a spice box containing the appropriate seasonings with which to make them. LOVE.

This time inspired wedding invitation was crafted for a couple who met through a series of “fortuitous events.” Along with the invitation, the couple gave their guests a mixed CD of their favorite songs, all related to time.

I am so glad that Amy shared this incredible source with us! Melangerie is THE place to find inspiration for really cool, wonderfully personal wedding favors and gifts. Their capabilities are so far reaching…custom event identities, invitations, correspondence, favors, packaging and welcome gifts. The best part though is that each design is crafted with TLC and reflects the client’s personality to perfection.

Thank you so much to Amy and to Melangerie!
