Wine and Truffles - What a Combo!
Jul 01, 2009 09:28 PM Back
We've been truly enjoying working with Stacey and Bill who are getting married Fall 2009. We met them at a Bridal Expo in February and clicked immediately. They had some great ideas that we are working to implement.
The first thing they knew they wanted was 8 pounds of truffles to be served during their champagne toast. We thought this was such a great idea and I know their guests are going to be very happy.
Then for a favor they wanted to combine a small bottle of red wine with 2 or 3 dark chocolate truffles in a basket. The basket has proven to be the challenge - finding the right one that shows off the wine and chocolate. They wanted a rustic look, and I believe I have looked at every small basket created! Got a few samples in and think we found the perfect choice. It's a basket that was designed to hold a small plant, but works absolutely perfectly for the wine bottle and truffles. And after the wine has been consumed and the truffles savored, their guests will be able to use this basket for many years to come.
Their only other decision is to go with a third truffle or some other decoration. Stacey thought she might get decorative bunches of grapes, but I suggested we do a grape pattern mold in white chocolate and hand-paint the grapes with edible dust. We'll do the grapes a deep purple and the leaves green. I think these will be amazing and such a nice touch to the basket.
We'll put the basket in a clear cello bag and tie it with a ribbon to match their colors.
We'll be bringing a sample of this basket, as well as many more of our favor creations, to LI Weddings Bridal Show on Sept. 23. Of course, everyone is welcome to visit our shop at any time - we suggest our brides and grooms make appointments so we can give you our undivided attention!
