Are you a cheese lover looking for a chic way to incorporate the tasty treat into your dinner menu? Or perhaps you're on the hunt for simple yet chic decor? Planning your rehearsal dinner? You're in luck! Jessica and Ilya did all of that, with help from Vanessa Van Wieren of Alchemy Fine Events & Invitations. Their rehearsal dinner had the cheese table of all cheese tables, as well as other tasty delights, and beautiful tabletops—it was a lovely way to kick off their wedding weekend in California.
Check out the gallery of Jessica and Ilya's fete with photography by Scott Clark Photo and try not to drool!

What a fresh, original way to serve cheese! Très chic, Vanessa Van Wieren!
How deliciously decadent--a mouthful of aix-in-provance! As my intended & I splurge on French holidays annually, just to indulge on this naughty dairy delight, I may have to incorporate this into our wedding (as a surprise for my future husband!).
Viola! Happy Husband, guaranteed...
