Day 14: Chocolate and Champagne

Thursday, April 14, 2011

Having a classy reception isn't impossible on a tight budget; dessert-only receptions are gaining popularity and are an easy way to cut costs while letting your guests indulge in delicious treats.

Create a chocolate and champagne theme to add detail to this simple idea. Decadent chocolate fountains and bottles of bubbly will spread the fun around. A rich brown and pale gold color scheme is very tasteful as well.

Favor boxes can be filled with small, creatively wrapped chocolates or even pieces of cake; both make great take-home treats. Order the boxes in a gold color with a metallic ribbon to match your simple and classy color palette that goes along with the overall chocolate and champagne theme. Use various gold and brown shades throughout the reception décor to give some depth to this effortless look.

This trendy theme can also be incorporated into your invitations by choosing a brown ribbon or border and gold lettering in an elegant font style, using a personalized monogram created especially for you by the staff at RD I Do.

If champagne is going to be one the main elements of your big day, you want to be drinking in style! Special monogrammed or personalized flutes are perfect for not only the bride and groom, but for the entire wedding party.

Keep the bubbles flowing all night: Have your guests send you off with blowing bubbles! It’s less messy than seeds or petals and both young and old guests will love this fun and exciting addition to your special day! The best part about it? Your guests can take the bubbles home with them as well!

There are so many ways to expand on this chic theme idea; we look forward to hearing your ideas when you come in for a free consultation! Contact us today!
