This July 4th on Belle Isle we are doing a wedding like no other.
It might be a sign of the times in many ways. It’s about more – and less. More community. More friends. More local and definitely more creative.
The couple has decided to purchase all their food (greens and meats) from a local Michigan farmer. Everything will be seasonal. The tables will be set with a roasted beet salad and fresh snap peas. Avalon bakery of Detroit bakes the bread. In lieu of a gift some of the guests have been asked to make a fruit pie so instead of a wedding cake- each table is adorned with a fresh fruit pie. The hors d’ oeuvres of Armenian Grape leaves and Kufta are being made by the bride’s mother’s friends.
To top it off and celebrate their meeting on bikes- there will be a bike ride around the island. After the farmer marries the couple. Congratulations!
