Some inspiration for wedding bomboniere and wedding ideas.
Calling all Chocoholics
I'm always happy to see chocolate as the wedding bomboniere of choice at many weddings. I put it in my handbag and normally eat it on the way home :) But can you imagine if the decorations and table centrepieces were edible too!? Your guests would surely get a kick out of it and it would be a great conversation starter when they were first seated. Not to mention delicious!
This is no longer a dream, it's reality for the brides and grooms who purchase their wedding table centrepieces from Sisko Chocolate. Christina from Sisko Chocolate is passionate about the art of chocolate.
Her designs are like nothing I've ever seen before. A favourite of mine would have to be the Sisko Chocolate Flowers. They look absolutely divine and too good to be eaten.
If you're looking for something truly unique and absolutely breathtaking, then you should go in and see Christina for a consultation where she'll sketch you up a designer sculpture, just for your wedding. A designer chocolate sculpture could be in place of a cake, it would certainly look great in photos and the guests could help you devour it at the end of the night or you can take it home and eat it all by yourself!
So, if you're a mad chocoholic who loves pretty things, then Sisko Chocolates are the ones for you!
Lovers of Lollipops
Who'd have thought of using something edible for a bouquet? Well Lollipop Brides have. Sin on a stick - they're sinfully sweet, you're single female guests would love to catch this bunch on the night but I'd recommend devouring them with your new husband on your honeymoon!. Also, it might shatter on the floor in the bouquet toss...
A lollipop bouquet is the ultimate in wedding decorations. So much thought and money goes into your wedding flowers, only for them to wilt and die. The lollipop bouquet is for those brides who like to put a different spin on things. Dare to be different and stand out from the crowd.
Edible Wedding Bomboniere
Those are just two ideas for edible wedding decorations that will make a big impression. Now, edible wedding bomboniere could be any number of goodies.
- chocolate in a gorgeous favour box
- lollipops on a stick wrapped in cellophane
- almonds in an organza bag
- cupcakes or wedding cake in a box or wrapped in cellophane for all to see
- a candy bar with takeaway bags/boxes or tins
- homemade biscuits wrapped in fabric that matches the theme, tied with a bow
- jars of local and homemade honey, jam or chutney
Need some ideas and inspiration for some wedding decorations that won't cost you an arm and a leg? Something you can do yourself that is easy peasy? Well, here is a selection that will surely put a smile on your dial :)
String Spheres
- Blow up balloons of varying sizes
- Wrap your desired coloured string around them
- Spray with fabric stiffener
- Pop the balloon & pull it out gently
- Place on tables or hanging around your reception venue with flowers on top
So simple yet so effective!
Lemon & Honey
Your wedding bomboniere and place card holders totally sorted...
- Buy or pick some lovely looking lemons (or other fruit)
- Buy or make place cards
- Slit a line in the lemon for the place card
- Buy small jars plus some wedding decorations to match your theme (ribbon, string, personalised stickers)
- Source some local home grown honey
- Fill jars, lick fingers
- Decorate last - very important!
Reception Drink Station
I love the simplicity of this design. Timber, grass and drinks of vibrant colours pulls it all together nicely. This would be easy to replicate. You'll need:
- Rustic chunks of timber (how about a couple of large timber chess boards with pieces in place)
- Manicured grass
- Glasses, jugs and trays
- Punch and champagne to match your theme
- Some colourful fruit to complement the theme and drinks
- Thirsty guests
Flowers in Vintage Tins or Just Jars
Once you're decided on your flowers, all you need to do is find some tins and jars to put them in and have them placed on the tables and around the venue. Mix and match. Magical!
Wedding Decorations
Well thought out wedding decorations can really make a difference to your day, the atmosphere and your photos. You don't have to spend a lot of money, creativity is all you need. And if you don't think you can be creative then hopefully some of the above have inspired your hidden creative side. Everyone has one :)
If you're the creative type then jump into the comments and help out the non-creative types with some ideas for their wedding decorations.
