Sunflower Theme Wedding
September 19, 2009
We had so much fun with Ericka and Jason helping them plan their sunflower-themed wedding. We met with them over the winter after meeting them at a bridal expo. Ericka had e-mailed us prior to our appointment to let us know that she and Jason absolutely loved sunflowers and wanted to incorporate them into their favors. It's great when couples tell us ahead of time so we get a chance to do some research and come up with ideas.
We found a plain, white high-gloss 3x3x2' favor box and then purchased 3-1/2' sunflower appliques. We glued the sunflowers to the top of the box - for 300 favors! After much deliberation (and lots of samples) they picked out 3 truffles: a white chocolate chambord, a milk chocolate coconut rum and a dark chocolate frangelico. We normally fill in the favor box with chocolate hearts, but, in keeping with their theme, we filled the box with chocolate sunflowers also in white, milk and dark chocolate.
When we do wedding favors, we put together a tray of strawberries for the bridal suite as a 'thank you' from Morgan's Bay Confections. Their tray had our tuxedo-clad, dipped strawberries and some of our 'almost famous' filled strawberries. Our dipped strawberries can be filled with cheesecake, cannoli cream, chocolate mousse or home-made whipped cream. We used more of the sunflower appliques to decorate the tray. The presentation was absolutely beautiful and was a big hit when we delivered it to the catering hall.
We deliver all our wedding favors on the day of the event as close to the time of the start of the reception as possible. For most venues, delivery is included at no additional charge.
Our congratulations to a truly wonderful couple, and we wish Ericka and Jason a lifetime of happiness!
