An Evening of Culinary Innovations by Blue Plate (Chicago)

Posted by StrictlyWeddings.com :: Filed Under

One of our Chicago catering partners, Blue Plate, recently held an event at the Ivy Room to introduce Chicago’s top weddings with Blue Plate’s newest innovative cuisine. “An Evening of Culinary Innovations” by Blue Plate incorporated, from start to finish, a cohesive theme that was inspired by the peacock’s colors of vibrant violet and sapphire.

Invitation Cards
The invitation card is the first impression of any wedding. The artwork detail, the paper texture, color schemes and typography set the tone for the special day. Blue Plate incorporated the soft and dark turquoise tone as the main glow for the invitation.

Décor
Trying to think of décor that will stand out is always a challenge, but by engaging a new concept such as feathers, you not only create a look that is uniquely your own but also one that can be forever beautiful. By maintaining the peacock’s feather colors in various accents around the room, such as on the blue and crystal chandeliers with violet shades, guests were left with a look that was not only striking but also pulled together.

Culinary
Tying in the food with the theme is not easy. Our executive chef designed a popular Gargouillou with Fava Beans, Pea Tendrils, Asparagus, Thumbelina Carrots, Popcorn Shoots, Pink Peppercorns and Edible Flowers with a Carrot-Ginger Reduction. Along the rim of the plate were Smoked Hawaiian Sea Salt, Meyer Lemon Compote and Toasted Flax seeds.

Blue Plate was sure not to forget about the cocktails! Blue Plate’s specialty cocktail of the night was aptly named “The Peacock,” with a brilliant turquoise hue, concocted of Midori, Blue Curacao and Pineapple Juice.

Entertainment
Lastly, entertainment is the absolute key to an unforgettable reception. Ken Arlen Entertainment was absolutely the best choice. From the first note, guests were out of their chairs and onto the dance floor, and didn’t stop shaking their tail-feathers until the late hours of the night.
