Founded by owner Amber Lee, Ticket Chocolate is the perfect block of hand crafted couverture chocolate made with the finest ingredients in San Francisco. It is just so creative! All you need to do is dunk your chocolate block into your favorite mug full of hot milk to enjoy a nice cup of flavored hot chocolate. In simpler terms, it is hot chocolate on a stick. These could be perfect for a late night evening with friends, or even used as favors at a wedding.

It’s officially winter! During winter weddings, it is important to make sure that your guests are comfortable and ready to have a good time. Heaters are always a great way to go, but another way to keep everyone warm and cuddly is by providing blankets that they can cozy on up to. You can keep a stack of warm blankets near the ceremony or reception entrance, or wrap them around each guest’s chair, but we are sure your guests will appreciate it. Wholesale blankets can be ordered through sites like Dollar Days!

With time passing so quickly these days, soon it will be Spring and you will have wished that you could have  cherished these chilly days a little more. Capture the spirit of the holidays by creating your own DIY Snow globes. They are a cute and fun craft to do, and it is so simple!

With temperatures slowly dropping, there  is nothing as soothing as a warm beverage on a chilly day. Whatever it is you are doing, whether cuddling in a blanket and watching your favorite movie, commuting to work, or simply relaxing at home, a warm drink hits the spot. If you are entertaining, warm up your guests with a delicious hot beverage bar! You can include a variety of hot drinks from hot chocolate, coffee, specialty teas, apple ciders, to seasonal pumpkin spiced lattes. To spice it up a notch, you can add in yummy mix-ins like, homemade chocolate dipped marshmallows, mini donuts, flavored syrups, candy cane sticks, whip cream, and more!

Friday Fab Find ~ a weekly snippet of creative & delicious ideas for your wedding!

One excellent idea for Fall party favors is the oh-so- delicious Caramel apple! Food is the perfect wedding favor and it never goes to waste! What would be better than do it yourself homemade candy apple favors? These party favors would be more than fitting for a fall wedding, apple-inspired wedding, or any other special occasion and will leave your guests drooling. They are so easy to make and you customize them in various ways to fit your taste.

Check out Martha Stewert Weddings‘ delicious recipe to your perfect DIY favors…

Ingredients (makes 10-12)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 10 to 12 small apples, stems removed
  • Vegetable-oil cooking spray
  • Round wooden skewers

Directions

  1. Heat sugar, cream, corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until butter has melted. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan, and continue to cook until mixture reaches 240 degrees. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and coat with cooking spray. Insert a skewer into stem end of each apple. Dip apples in caramel, and place on sheet. Let stand until set, at least 1 hour. Apples can be stored airtight for up to 1 day.

Once the apples and the caramel have set, wrap them in cellophane and tie them with a colored ribbon! You can even customize them with a monogram tag. Your guests will be thanking you for days.  If you want to stray away from DIY, the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company have delicious caramel apples for your special day.

 

Happy Apple making!
