Now that the weather is cooling off and the days are getting shorter, we decided to look back to this summer and get a little warmth and inspiration from some past events.  On July 10th, Royal Fig had a big role in the wedding day of Carmel Richards and Todd Sanders at Mercury Hall.  We [...]

We have catered several weddings at the Texas Federation of Women’s Club Mansion this fall, and we’ve loved every one of them. However, the wedding of Kristin and Nik was one of my favorites because of the amazing teamwork we experienced with all of the vendors and the INCREDIBLE couple and family.  Barbara Hearne from [...]

We recently had the chance to cater the wedding of Shea and Louie at the beautiful Umlauf Sculpture Gardens.  Their wedding was featured on weddingchicks.com with incredibly unique photography by Azini Photography. The menu for this cocktail reception reflected their Cajun roots and included some veggie friendly options.  We started with a bountiful cheese display [...]

As we move from event to event, it’s so great to get great feedback from a couple who we truly enjoyed working with.  I just received the nicest email from a groom we worked with last month. “I just wanted to thank you guys so much for the amazing job you did at our wedding. [...]
