Ashley from the Chic Line has pulled these incredible images of dessert buffets – and I have to admit, I am still not tired of these tasty, stylish displays….
Dessert buffet have been so popular over the last few years. Amy Atlas is probably the best known stylist of these fantastic displays, where she leaves nothing overlooked. Below are some beautiful images that can be used for inspiration. Whether you have a caterer or planner put together such a tablescape, or you do it yourself with grocery store and flea market finds, you can create a fun and interactive display for your guests!

Today, our guest blogger Ashley of The Chic Line shares yellow details. What a happy color!
Yellow is a bold and happy color that can be incorporated into weddings at any time of the year. Below are some photos of beautiful yellow details that just exude personality and excitement. A yellow dessert bar looks great with bold black accents, and lemons are the perfect modern centerpiece. Bold bridal accessories look even better when coordinated with the groom.

There are many options for yellow flowers in bouquets, which look so fresh when paired with an abundance of green leaves. And of course, dressing your maids in yellow is the perfect way to tie it all together.

This week I would like to feature one of our esteemed District Favorites: Windows Catering! They are fresh, fun, and fabulous, and when working with Windows, ‘no’ is simply not an answer. They will listen and truly turn your event ideas into reality, leaving you and your guests talking about the wonderful food and presentation for years to come! This week I had an interview with Kelsey Hendrickson, a lovely Event Consultant at Windows Catering.
As spring is (hopefully) approaching, what new flavors and dishes will Windows Catering be offering to clients and those interested in your services?
One of the biggest trends we’re still seeing is local, sustainable and seasonal. This spring we’re focusing on fresh ingredients with what’s in season. Some fun new menus are:
Specialty Drink Ideas: A Cherry Old Fashioned (Sweet and sour cherries muddled with orange juice, maple syrup, a dash of bitters, served with bourbon over ice and garnished with cherry foam), Pineapple Mojitos, and Blueberry Pie Martinis
Hors d’oeuvres: Spinach filled Crepes tied with Chive Ribbons, Spring Pea Soup Shooters with Maryland Lump Crab, Mini Lobster Corn Dogs
Plated Entrée: Spring Long Island Duck breast with a Bing cherry glaze over roasted rhubarb and fennel bed with corn and wild rice flapjacks and topped with a Bing cherry relish
Plated Dessert: A Deconstructed Pineapple Upside Down Cake served in a martini glass accompanied by a home-made coconut sorbet.

As many of our minds wander to our favorite recipes during the wonderful holiday season, Fete Accomplie Catering delivers the best food and service, always creating an intimate relationship with their clients.
As a boutique catering company located right in the heart of Georgetown, Fete Accomplie Catering will accommodate your every need, and can travel to provide their services as well.
Sharing their love for cooking, the food at Fete is always fresh, and with the absence of set menus you can be sure to expect unique and delicious creations that perfectly fit your special event. I was lucky enough to chat with Sumner Powell, a fantastic Account Executive at Fete Accomplie Catering. She is absolutely wonderful, and her enthusiasm for Fete is simply contagious…
How does Fete Accomplie Catering stand out among catering companies in the DC metro area?
Many catering companies in the area are quite large but we are a smaller company that has made the conscious decision to remain small. This helps us form great relationships with each of our clients and be by their side pretty much every moment leading up to the event.
As we are on the smaller side, we love to work on dinner events, teas, lunches and weddings, but are also thrilled to create food for events with over 500 guests. We really have fun with our clients and love when then are happy!
What are Fete’s signature dishes, and what are some current favorites during the holiday season?
One of our most popular items is our special fete lime scented chicken salad as well as our jumbo lump crab cakes. Our clients always like to have those no matter the time of year!
Because we do not have any set menus and make everything to our clients’ desires, we always like to work with our clients to figure out items that are unique to the seasons. One of our most popular items for the fall was our butternut squash risotto and for the holidays, a spiral ham cooked in madeira sauce.
