it was also a wonderful opportunity to use the china, silver, and crystal we got for our wedding that have never seen the light of day. i don't want to be one of those people who only uses it on "special occasions." so if you come over to the dunaway household for dinner don't be suprised :) we will probably still use paper napkins and drink out of mardi gras cups, but you will have a nice plate.
i digress. we had a wonderful dinner party with good friends we are blessed with here in nola. not only are these people good friends they are good cooks as well. brie and pear tartlets, gourmet salads, and a lovely dessert involving praline mousse. i made an easy, delicious garlic and herb chicken.
we ate outside in our picturesque courtyard, kind of like on julia & julia when they eat on their roof. i went for the classy, eclectic look with fresh flowers, cloth napkins,but just enough touch of "we just got married and we do with what we have (or borrow)." my friend's china even came to the party so we would have enough.
sadly my camera was on the wrong setting so some of the pictures didn't turn out but here are a few!
yes, my handsome husband wore his tuxedo, with chacos
wonderful friends and great conversation
we try to be classy
