In case you guys are dying to know who designed the dress. Sadly for us, it’s a vintage fine that the her aunt bought her. Isn’t it adorable? Actually, I think it’s the whole spread…the dress, the oak, the STUNNING photography that really makes this shoot perfect.

To see the entire spread by Kristen Marie Photography, click right here! Kristen’s blog is such a treat so make sure you spend some time devouring her pages upon pages of wedding eye candy.

The menu for Darcy & Matt’s wedding was of utmost importance to them (he’s a chef at a Bobby Flay restaurant)!  Herban Feast Catering prepared these luscious-looking dishes …

The cake was from Blackbird Bakery in Bainbridge Island. One more quick look at the cute cake topper …

Married & More With Michelle did a spectacular job coordinating all of Darcy and Matt’s wedding details!

We do have a few more photos of Darcy & Matt’s wedding coming up a little later today, so check back in with us!

In the meantime, take a look at the stunning and romantic Rhode Island wedding sent to us by Images by Berit on today’s Little Black Book Blog. Just spectacular!

from Michelle …

Their intimate ceremony, led by Reverend Mary Calhoun was touching and heartfelt. When it was time for dinner, the dining room was revealed to guests and they were invited to find their names on a beautiful tree of manzanita branches. Each name card (mmm…paper) was tied to a leaf favor from Still Life Gifts to take home and enjoy. Darcy found these unique favors that are made from real leaves dipped in copper.

Beautiful, beautiful florals created by Bella Signature Design.

from Michelle …

I first wrote about Darcy and Matt last May featuring their engagement shoot with Laurel. They reside in New York City and Matt is a chef at a restaurant owned by Food Networks acclaimed chef, Bobby Flay. Cuisine played an instrumental part of their wedding as did thinking environmentally sound featuring a local organic menu and eco-friendly decor. Blending their love of the city with their love of the country. Farm Kitchen was the perfect setting and I truly adore owners Anne and Hollis who take great pride in their venue.

Darcy and Matt were married on a cool and peaceful November day at the quaint and intimate Farm Kitchen, nestled in Poulsbo on an 18 acre organic farm, just a short ferry ride from downtown Seattle but tucked away that you feel you have really left the city. Their vision of an intimate country chic dinner party came to life.

I woke up this morning thinking about chocolate. Chocolate cake, actually.

My problem is…I have become completely and unabashedly addicted to the food/life/love/everything blog, Orangette. Last night, I read her post about chocolate cake and low and behold, I can’t stop thinking about chocolate cake. So I figure the next best thing to actually baking and devouring an entire cake, would be to blog about it, right??

I am going nuts over the chic concoctions that the Vanilla Bakeshop in Los Angeles is creating…

I also love the pretty cakes that Jen’s Desserts is cooking up in Seattle…contemporary and understated. Perfect inspiration in my opinion!

Okay, I lied. There really isn’t a “next best thing” to eating and devouring a chocolate cake!
