SoBelle Chocolate favor is so excited to be featured in the Weddings In Houston Magazine's Blog!

{HWB Loves: Sweet, Sophisticated Wedding Favors}

With their pretty pastel shells and symbolic sweetness, Jordan almonds have long been a take-home tradition at Middle Eastern, Greek and Italian weddings. And, of course, Mexican wedding cookies are a beloved treat at Mexican weddings from Oaxaca to…Houston! We’re nuts about sweet wedding favors (who isn’t??), especially when they’re presented and packaged with such sophisticated style, it’s almost a sin to scarf them down. Almost. Chocolate wedding “cakes,” artistic cake pops, couture cookie wedding favors—we’ll take one of each. To go!

CATHERINE & JOSEPH - AN ITALIAN AFFAIR

2010-11-17T00:53:00.000-08:00

October 30, 2010 ~ The Hyatt Regency, La Jolla

I was so happy to have Catherine and Joseph referred to me by invitation designer Simply Michelle. The Couple was looking for a favor that would preserve the Italian Confetti/Bomboniere gift tradition of 5 Jordan almond.

It was such a pleasure to work with them, they came over to the studio and decided on their colors and ribbon style. We customize their favor by adding printed ribbon with the names of the bride & groom along with the wedding date.

In order to cut down on expenses they decided to have double purpose for their traditional Bomboniere and also utilize them for their place cards. This way each guest can indulge in each delicious favor. They had a guest list of 225, so the favors/place card combination was a very clever choice!

Both families where very very happy with the impact the favors made on the guests, they found it great since it was the first time they had all seen a traditional favor that consists both of chocolates and Jordan almond.
