Food Themed Weddings I Think Would Be Iconic

Here at TFE, I’m a firm believer that your event or wedding design doesn’t JUST have to be flowers. Oddities, candles, and other curiosities are always welcome in our world, and I love creating eclectic and unique designs for you. Heck, it’s even in our name!
