Weddings on the Bay 2012 at Marina Bay Sands

Over 200 couples were invited to their first wedding showcase event.

In a release, Marina Bay Sands held its first-ever wedding showcase event over the weekend, in conjunction with the Singapore International Jewelry Show 2012. Complete with a bridal lingerie fashion show, informative talks on wellness and choosing the right engagement ring, and even the talents of the new Executive Pastry Chef, Ryan Witcher, and his team of culinary artists were showcased.

Here's more from Marina Bay Sands:

Over 200 couples were especially invited to the Weddings on the Bay 2012 Wedding Showcase, which incorporated the infinite possibilities of wedding options at Marina Bay Sands. Amidst the wedding banquet and solemnization set-ups, guests sampled exquisite canapés including "Ocha" Smoked Salmon with Cocoa-cauliflower Crumble and Japanese Kare infused Tuna with Kabayaki Crème.

However, the pièce de résistance was the secret dessert room that was unveiled to guests at 4pm. Couples gasped in amazement as they lay their eyes on the dessert wonderland that awaited them. In the center of the room, a whimsical candy themed display featured towering glass pillars of homemade marshmallows, pastel colored meringues, rainbows of jelly beans and other candies reminiscent of childhood.

Over at the chocolate themed display, Chocolate Salted Caramel Tarts nestled among carefully assembled armies of Milk-Chocolate Passion Fruit Cones, towers of melt-in-your-mouth macarons and hand dipped chocolate-covered strawberries in a variety of designs. The strawberry themed display was just as breathtaking, with cleverly deconstructed Strawberry Shortcake and blush-colored sweet and savory Strawberry-Basil Truffle Pops. Chandeliers of ribbons and candles hanging down from the ceiling added an ethereal glow to the tantalizing sweets below.
