I saw these done at my sister's wedding
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I saw these done at my sister's wedding and everyone couldn't stop raving about them. They were the hit, more impressive than... the cake! I have been trying to find people on http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/caterers.html who do it and I think I've found a few I might like to use for my own wedding. I can't recommend these highly enough! They are so impressive in person. Read more
