It is the perfect order-in comfort food. But why should this delicious cuisine be limited to take-out and restaurant dining? This week PBL is excited to feature Chinese food as a chic and classy option for wedding catering.<br />

Start things off with refreshing lettuce wraps. This appetizer can be served buffet style- perfect for mingling guests.<br />

Fudge can easily be dyed different colors if you are trying to coordinate with a particular color scheme...and the flavor possibilities are endless!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wWKlEhY4nfQ/Tk1mW8LyXoI/AAAAAAAAHEg/HH-pbi-XVVk/s1600/new+jersey+bride.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="610" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wWKlEhY4nfQ/Tk1mW8LyXoI/AAAAAAAAHEg/HH-pbi-XVVk/s640/new+jersey+bride.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The couple Lisa and Marcos got married in January at the Bently Reserve. Between the planning by Christopher Lee of <a href="http://www.leftwichevents.com/">Leftwich</a> events, the stunning florals by <a href="http://www.nancyliuchin.com/">Nancy Liu Chin Designs</a> and the talented Danielle from <a href="http://www.gillettphoto.com/">Gillett Photography</a>, this wedding is a knockout. The graphic linens and just enough colored accents work perfect for this international ballroom wedding.</span><br />

Don't believe us? After a little research we discovered that brides can impress their leading ladies without embarrassment!<br />
<div><br />
One of the gift lists on <a href="http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/bridal-party/articles/50-inspiring-bridesmaid-gift-ideas.aspx?MsdVisit=1">The Knot</a> particularly inspired us. The key is to keep things simple but personal so bridesmaids feel appreciated and special. We pulled our top ten.<br />
<br />
1. First-edition of her favorite novel with a sweet note inside<br />
2. Personalized clutches for the day-of<br />
3. Gift certificate to her favorite boutique<br />
4. Unique jewelry for an eclectic bunch<br />
5. Hand-bound photo album or scrapbook<br />
6. Wishing for another honeymoon? Get her matching travel gear<br />
7. Toms shoes in fun colors <br />
8. Wine lover? Easy. Bottle of her favorite<br />
9. Purse-sized camera for the digital gal<br />
10. Nothing says thank you like a well-deserved day at the spa!<br />

This versatile bud is one of our favorites because it can be bold and sweet at the same time. Whether it is a simple red bunch, a whimsical wedding bouquet, or the white french anemone styled with a vintage twist, this flower is at the top of our summer list!</div><br />

Loving the structured dynamic of this bouquet. The blue accents are so unexpected!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0fjCJaX4J5A/ThppehTdmsI/AAAAAAAAG8Y/GcA4is3eKeA/s1600/bouquet+bridal+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0fjCJaX4J5A/ThppehTdmsI/AAAAAAAAG8Y/GcA4is3eKeA/s640/bouquet+bridal+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
And of course, anemones work wonderfully in smaller bouquets and as boutonnieres.<br />

Italian can be served by course in a traditional fashion, or buffet style for a more casual occasion. Start with a Caprese salad bar, followed by a mushroom risotto. For the main dish, seafood cioppino as a always a hit. And to top it all off, treat guests to a old-fashioned gelato stand. Forget the honeymoon, bring Italy to you wedding to share the love with the whole family!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
