Chocolate for Bridal/Wedding Favors

Most brides want to find the perfect bridal favors for their shower or reception. Brides know this is one aspect of their wedding/shower that will be remembered forever. Most likely the guests will be taking these favors home with them.

Choosing chocolate as a shower/wedding favor has become a hot trend among brides, and with great reason! Who doesn't like chocolate? Think about the favors you have received....bottle stoppers may mean nothing to guests who do not drink wine, or seeds to those living in apartments or do not garden. Chocolate can go along with any style or color theme. From trendy chocolates to traditional and elegant.

Chocolate is great as part of the table's place settings. One placed in the middle of each guest's plate is a wonderful way to welcome guests to their table.

From white, milk or dark, chocolate can truly express your personality. Chocolate favors can also add color and beauty to your table settings. I love to offer my brides wonderful Cinnamon Dusted Almonds packaged in lovely favor boxes or organza bags. Consider chocolate covered strawberries that look like wedding dresses and tuxedos. Boutique chocolates are so beautiful and so easy to make. There are so many design transfer sheets to customize your boutique chocolates from (wedding bells, hearts, colorful. deco, etc).

Please contact me if I may assist with favors for your wedding or fabulous ideas for the bridal shower! Thank you.
