Ritz-Carlton Weddings - January - June 2011 - (Page 51)

FAMILY STYLE There’s a reason a family-style manner of serving dinner — and dessert — tends to put everyone instantly at ease. “It’s a more interactive experience,” says Audrey Slade of The Ritz-Carlton, Washington D.C., where this approach is reserved for intimate celebrations of just 100 or so guests. “There’s a lot of passing around and sharing. In a lot of cultures, that’s extremely important.” Homey meets haute throughout the meal, especially in Executive Pastry Chef Ryan Witcher’s last course creations, specially designed with sharing in mind. Among the most-requested items are the Parisianstyle flan, diminutive apple tarts and decidedly adultminded dark chocolate cookies with fleur de sel. Trousdale dessert plates ($77 each), saucers ($56 each) and coffee cups ($120 each), by Kelley Wearstler from Neiman Marcus (neimanmarcus.com); Splendore round ($243) and oval ($243) serving platters, by Arte Italica (arteitalica.com); Vega wine goblets ($150 each), by Baccarat from Crystal Classics (crystalclassics.com). http://www.neimanmarcus.com http://www.arteitalica.com http://www.crystalclassics.com
