Fun Wedding Favor – Personalized Notebooks
As we get closer to the holiday season – where making lists is essential – I found a great wedding favor that is super useful and fun!
Your guests will love these personalized notebooks, especially if they’re tucked into a cute welcome bag for out-of-town guests.
These notebooks would also be a lot of fun for kids – if your reception is going to be kid-friendly. Each kid guest could get a notebook and some crayons and they’ll be entertained for hours. Read More
Dark Wedding Cake
Fall and winter are the perfect time of year to think about a non-traditional wedding cake.
I’m talking about a cake that isn’t topped with white icing – a dark wedding cake.
Today’s cake would be the perfect late-fall or winter cake with its dark icing and fall fruit embellishments.
It’s not often that you think about a dark color of icing for your wedding cake color but this cake would absolutely work if you have bright fall colors as part of your wedding color scheme. Read More
Fun Wedding Favors – Popcorn
This week’s fun wedding favor is ideal for couples who are hosting a group of out-of-town guests!
These personalized bags of microwave popcorn would be the perfect addition to a care package.
You could create care packages for each of the out-of-town guests and include items such as bottled water, hand sanitizer, and of course treats just like this microwave popcorn!
Of course if you’re having a smaller reception and everyone is from the same area you could always put the packages of popcorn in cute baskets at the reception and encourage guests to take one or two on their way out.
The bags can be personalized with a wraparound label of your choice – you get to choose the color and what the label says.
You’ll find these personalized bags of popcorn here.
One-Tier Pink and White Wedding Cake
I really like the idea of having a separate centerpiece cake just for the bride and groom to cut and enjoy.
And then you can have other small cakes for the guests or a dessert bar. Something different and a bit out of the ordinary.
Today’s cake would be ideal for that concept.
This single tier cake is perfect for the new couple – you could even have it at the “head” table and then set up other cakes and desserts elsewhere. Read More
Porcelain Owl Cake Topper
It seems that wedding cake toppers are not always the “in” thing when one is looking at wedding cakes on a daily basis.
Most of the time you’ll see cakes with fresh flowers as the topper or nothing at all perched on top of the cake.
But I’m a traditionalist when it comes to wedding cakes (also known as “old fashioned”) and I love a good wedding cake topper. Read More
Fun Wedding Favor – Personalized Wine Tote
Maybe you’re a fan of a good wine. And maybe your wedding reception has a wine theme or you’re hosting it at a winery?
If any of those are true, these personalized wine totes would be really fun wedding favors for your guests to take home. Preferably with a bottle of wine inside!
This favor would also be ideal for a vintage, outdoor, or rustic wedding reception. Read More
Chocolate and Caramel Wedding Cake
So here we are a few days post-Halloween.
Have you had your fill of chocolate and sweets yet? No? Good because today’s wedding cake is ah-mazing!
Check out this ooey and gooey chocolate caramel wedding cake.
While I’m not normally a fan of “naked” wedding cakes this chocolate creation has delicious caramel, salted peanuts, and chocolate ganache between each layer.
There’s no need for icing!
This cake is gorgeous and decadent and it’s perfect for a fall wedding!
This cake was created by pastry chef Jason Schreiber. You can find it here.
Rustic Fall Wedding Cake
It’s November! There is no denying it now – we are celebrating all things fall!
For me, a fall-inspired wedding cake features dark hues with some pops of dark colors.
Take today’s cake for example.
I love the rustic vibe of this cake from the chocolate ganache icing that gives the cake a “woodsy” feel to the dark fruit and flowers used as accents. Read More
Fun Wedding Favor – Miniature Brownies
Since tomorrow is Halloween and I have sweets on my mind, it seemed like a good time to showcase one of my favorite ideas for wedding favors.
I give you the brownie pop.
These fun and delicious treats make a great idea for favors – or just for the dessert bar if you’re planning one for the reception. Or you could just have a plate at each table so guests could enjoy one after dinner but before cake. Read More
