Elopement

Travels, new places and discoveries on my mind. Wouldn't it be grand to steal away to some far away place and elope?

Pack your gossamer gown and favorite strand of vintage pearls. Don't forget to pick up a few blooms of white lilies along the way. You won't need much with love on your side.

Centered around a glass-enclosed display kitchen, the Patisserie offers an irresistible selection of cakes, bon bons, chocolates and fruit confections. Bite sized pieces of art displayed in glass domes are a treat for the senses, not to mention a great design concept for your reception or bridal shower!
