A Key Lime Martini with a Graham Cracker RimMINI ME: Succulents and greens tucked into tree bark containers echoed the Legare Waring House’s grand, sweeping trees.EAT FRESH: “We wanted to show people how amazing local, organic cuisine truly is and Fred did a perfect job!” says Katharine of Fat Hen Catering and the menu. Treats like a delicious duck confit topped with cranberries certainly did the trick.SEE, FOOD: Fat Hen topped savory crab cakes with parsley and grilled shrimpJUST MADE: All food served, like these deviled eggs, was locally grown. A few ingredients were even picked up from the farm en route to the wedding!SWEET THING: Baked by d’lish, the carrot and vanilla cake bore a honeybee design gleaned from a favorite T-shirt of Katharine’s.

It was like a huge reunion!”PERFECT MATCH: Of the wedding’s locale, Katharine says, “We knew we wanted our wedding and reception to be held outdoors and we both loved the beautiful setting of the Legare Waring House.”
