We are always on the lookout for the latest wedding trends here at The Casual Gourmet. Glitter was all the rage a few years ago, adding an element of flash and fabulous to any event. Fast forward to today and we are seeing a different vision from many of our couples.

The Casual Gourmet sponsors an annual event called Cocktails & Connections for members of the Cape Cod wedding industry. In that light, we put together a website and hashtag to help aggregate the blogs from the top Cape Cod wedding vendors. Check out ccweddings.thecasualgourmet.com or Twtter at #CCWeddings for posts from Caterers, Photographers, Venues, Valets and much, much more!.
