Glitter, Glass, Glamorous Display at the Annual Epstein School of Atlanta Auction!

For the fifth year in a row, we provided the nourishments for the Epstein School’s Annual Fundraiser.

Everything was glitz and shiny glam, decorated in clear glass with crystal accents we wanted the room to sparkle so our food could shine. To create this glamorous but unique look, we used ghost chairs as risers on our stations!

Individual Asian Slaw Salads!

Perfect Rehearsal Dinner

Added Touch wanted our food to reflect the casual, but elegant ambience of this beautiful venue, Summerour. We used natural green hues and woods to mimic the natural wood of the venue. As an alternative to a garish center piece we used our food as décor, by setting up a bistro style wine and bread station in the center of each seating table. A wine bottle served as the table number holder, allowing every part of this table décor to have a function.

Red Decadence- "Fallen in Love"

This engagement party was inspired by this couple’s “Falling in Love.” Because the party took place at the end of September, we wanted to play on the seasonal shift to fall as the leaves change from verdant green to sumptuous vermillion. The party was designed in chic clean white, black, and the color of love, red.

As the guests entered they were greeted by beautiful glowing red floral arrangements enhanced with red votive candles, and extenuated with a mix of circular and square mirrors.

We used a mix wooden folding chairs with red sashes, red chivari chairs, and clear acrylic ghost chairs (our latest favorite part furniture!) to accompany red, black, and patterned linen. This mixture made a vibrant shift in textures and color without overwhelming the eye.

This is an excellent way to save the client money by supplementing their already beautiful furniture with a few rental items.

Ghost chairs, glass tables, red votives, and a few red rose petals.

Of course no Added Touch party is complete without an over the top five star dinner buffet and in this case we had two! We served a “They Flipped for Each Other” Chef Attended Burger Station complete with beef and turkey burger, various buns sauces, toppings, hot French fries, awesome onion rings, and blanched broccoli.

We also served a They Fell in Love at the Beach Destin Buffet with Blackened Amberjack and Lemon Butter Sauce, Whole Wheat Couscous and Mograbiah with Oven Dried Tomatoes and goat Cheese, And Romaine & Arugula Salad with Sliced Peaches Served with a Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette

We had two dessert carts with all red and white desserts. We served Sweet and Sticky Homemade Red Candy Apples, Awesome Red Velvet Cupcakes, Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, and passed Individual Raspberry Sorbets

“Wok and Roll” Appetizer Library

Sometimes we feel like we have an encyclopedia of Hors devours options. We are always challenging ourselves to display our many appetizers in a creative manner. In playing with this idea, we came up with the “Wok and Roll” Appetizer Library.

We displayed our various appetizers on chic black book shelves, stacked with individually re-titled books that served as menu cards.
