Our only qualm with the springtime is that, because we\u2019re so busy connecting engaged couples with local wedding pros<\/a>, hosting wedding shows<\/a>, publishing our magazine<\/a>, throwing parties, etc\u2026 We don\u2019t get to have nearly as many picnics as we\u2019d like!<\/p>\n But just when the lack of meticulously curated tablescapes en plein air<\/em> was starting to get to us, we had the honor of meeting Kammy and Colleen<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And thank goodness for that!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kammy and Colleen are best friends, business owners, and the brilliant minds behind New Mexico\u2019s latest wedding obsession: The Bougie Brie<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Bougie Brie<\/a>, as you may have guessed by the photos of succulent spreads and heavenly bites above, is a creative endeavor centered on all things charcuterie<\/b>. If you haven\u2019t yet caught wind of the charcuterie craze sweeping the nation \u2014 have you been living under a rock?!<\/p>\n Charcuterie<\/em> is originally a French term used to refer to delightful little shops devoted to delectable cold cuts of meat. Think bacon, ham, pepperoni, sausage, terrines, p\u00e2t\u00e9s, confit and the like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In America, a charcuterie board<\/em> is an adventure unto itself. Cold cuts are nestled among complementary bites \u2014 both sweet and savory \u2014 of everything from aged cheeses and crackers to fruits, veggies, olives, nuts, breads, jelly, and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n A charcuterie board from The Bougie Brie<\/a>, however, brings a level of sophistication to rival the French in their spreads of delicious cheer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The creative women incorporate tablescape design, florals, and backdrops into their charcuterie arrays<\/a>, which can range in size from a mini cutting board to a 6 foot long table banquet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And while we\u2019re on the topic of cutting boards \u2014 what better wedding day gift<\/a> for your soon-to-be-spouse than a custom cedar board<\/a>, handmade with love?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When your guests are done filling their plates and bellies with the exquisite eats from The Bougie Brie<\/a>, you can take your cutting board with you to your newlywed home. There it will live as a stunning, yet functional, reminder of the happiest day of your life!<\/p>\n It\u2019s not just weddings though, of course. Bridal showers, birthdays, Mother\u2019s Day brunches \u2014 basically any time you have a reason to celebrate, the culinary connoisseurs<\/a> of The Bougie Brie<\/a> should be your first call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So while spring will come and go, as all seasons do, our love for pleasantly piquant picnics will remain forever.<\/p>\n Thank you, Kammy and Colleen, for breaking the mold of celebratory eats<\/a> and bringing something vibrant, new, and unique to the wedding world of New Mexico<\/a>. We\u2019d eat a charcuterie board from The Bougie Brie<\/a> every day for lunch if we could!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The season of scintillating moments, sweet-smelling wildflowers, and saccharine slowness is here.
