The GG! team celebrated the end of 2012 in the best of all possible ways - with a stunning wedding on the 32nd floor of the AT&T building in downtown Los Angeles, partnering with event planner extraordinaire Alicia Townsend of About Details Details. Erica and Ted's New Year's Eve "wedding in the sky" was a feast for the senses - sparkling views of the city, soft lavender lighting, plush white sofas, a ceiling dripping with exotic flowers and glass bubbles, colorful Lion Dance symbolizing happiness and longevity and an adventurous menu with tastes from Asia and beyond.
As a preview, guests savored Caesar Salad Parmesan Cones, Spinach Chicken Fortune Cookies and Fig and Prosciutto Crostini, while a series of "LOVE" stations featuring warming soups, Asian specialties and traditional favorites like Chicken Bourguignon and Grilled Minted Rack of Lamb with Golden Cauliflower and Classic Garlic Mash awaited them.
