Wow! That sounds amazing! I am such a dessert fan- I really feel all other food groups are insignificant in comparison! I would love to see the pics, too!
I hear you.
Life's short -- eat dessert first.
In the photos that I saw of the couple's dessert/dance party that was held in front of the castle, there weren't too many photos of the dessert spread. I'm hopeful the magazine has a good photo of it.
I'm also curious to see how David Tutera handled the decorations for the dessert/dance party. I read the following about it:

After the reception, the couple and their guests will enjoy another of Tutera’s couture looks, Cocktail Soiree. The combinations of ice blues and browns will be created for a dance party.

The photos that I saw didn't showcase that portion of the event too well. Or maybe what I saw didn't jibe with how I thought it should look. That might be more likely since I had high expectations simply because it sounded so intriguing.
Lastly, I saw photos of two cakes -- one in the reception tent and the other at the dessert/dance party. But the photos didn't really show either cake in the detail that I would have liked. This is what I read about the cakes:
- - - - - - -
Weinstock designed two wedding cakes, one for show and one for the guests to enjoy at the reception.
Weinstock’s husband, Ben, said it took a week to create one silk flower placed on the show cake.
“We make sugar flowers in advance until you are satisfied with the look. It really is a work of love. We only use butter cream, the highest-end of fresh ingredients,” he said.

I am hopeful that the magazine will have a decent photo of both cakes. However, I am still trying to figure out why Sylvia Weinstock created one cake simply for "show." I found that a little strange. Did Ms. Weinstock create a cake for permanent display at Franck's? Or was the cake strictly for the photo shoot for "Brides" magazine?
I believe the "show" (a.k.a., "fake") cake was the one that sat inside the reception tent. I didn't see any photos of a cake cutting ceremony that was held there, but I did see photos of a cake cutting ceremony that was held at the dessert/dance party.
Also, the cake at the dessert/dance party was smaller and less elaborate than the one on display inside the reception tent. I don't know why Ms. Weinstock created a smaller cake for the "official" cake cutting ceremony than she did for "show." I found that odd.
Oh, well. I'm hopeful the magazine photo spread will answer a few of my questions.
