Edible wedding invitations

Anything from a small chocolate offering inside to a full-blown chocolate embroidered card, let your guests know your wedding will be a cocoa-filled affair or just give them a sweet snack by incorporating chocolate into your wedding invitations.

Chocolate flowers

It might not be a good idea for a venue that gets some serious sunshine, but a hint of chocolate in your floral decorations might mean a few more or your guests stop to smell the roses. It also gives a fantastic excuse for your bridesmaids and groomsmen to help tidy up the reception.

Hot Cocoa

For any wedding set in the cold depths of winter, you want to make sure your guests are warm and comfortable. If your theme is winter wonderland, but you don’t want your loved to become part of the décor, why not offer them a cup of hot cocoa?

Rich chocolate wedding cake

If we’ve learnt anything over the last few years, it’s that the traditional fruit-filled ivory wedding cake is on the decline and that more unique styles are coming to the fore. You too can buck the trend and opt for a chocolatey surprise.

Brenno’s Hotbake also offers gluten and dairy free versions of their wedding cakes and is sure to be able to produce even the most chocolate-centric wedding cake idea.
