Marcey Brownstein Catering & Events

"We wanted to come up with a beautiful way to highlight an early summer bounty of mini vegetables in a fun and innovative way. We wanted it to be whimsical, playful, and conversation-starting, but not too goofy or weird. In addition, these were on the dining tables and acted as a decor element since floral was minimal."
