Henry and Lorna are an incredible, fun and stylish couple and they LOVE good food! Lorna, a food columnist for Seattle Magazine and a self-taught pastry chef, together with Henry, an architect, started Cache, a private dinner club. The engagement, involving food of course, occurred at Mistral. Grape sorbet topped with gold leaf was the last course to a 12 course dinner. Lorna’s engagement ring, a yellow diamond, was placed in the sorbet, camouflaged by the gold leaf. For their wedding reception, they selected 4 of the 12 courses from their dinner at Mistral. Grape sorbet was the dessert in which one of the sorbets had a toy ring placed into it. The guest who ended up with that plate of grape sorbet won a prize. The whole day at Pravda was incredible…after the emotional tea ceremony/wedding ceremony, 6 delectable cocktail items were passed, prepared by Shannon Galusha of Veil and Eric Banh of Monsoon brought in the roast suckling pig. The sit down dinner was prepared by William Belickis, formerly of Mistral. There was also a fun scrapbooking table, dragon dancers, a beautiful dessert buffet and a VERY delicious cake by Bakery Nouveau‘s William Leaman. The wedding cake had different flavors on each tier and Lorna’s favorite tier was a 7 layer creation with caramel mousse, hazelnut mousse, Valrhona dark chocolate mousse, dark chocolate cake, sandwiched between three thin layers of chocolate sponge cake. Incredible! William created it especially for their wedding, and the flavors were inspired by his award-winning pastry called “The Phoenix”. The signature drinks for the night, created by Eric Witsoe of Tavolata, were the Lorna and the Henry. If that wasn’t enough, at the end of the night, Lorna surprised their guests with a Poco Carretto Gelato cart! Don’t miss their slide show below.
Only an architect would come up with this seating chart.
Lorna’s favorite hors devours were the octopus with chorizo powder, and the crab and avocado.
