Tuscan Wedding Favors

Many brides are having their weddings at local wineries, and what fits better at a winery than favors based on Tuscany in Italy?  These are just a few idea if you're planning a Tuscan wedding theme.

Key Lime Pears

Recchiutti Chocolates of San Francisco offer these thin but delicous paper thin unripe pear slices, that have been marinated in key lime syrup for a few days, then carefully laid out on trays and placed in a low temperature oven for about an hour to dry. After all of that fussing, there is a final step, which is to dip the lime infused crispy pear into a bitter sweet chocolate. The pears ended up becoming a favorite at Recchiutti's. Since then they have introduced an apple version as well.  But we think the pears would be perfect for anyone with a "Perfect Pair/Pear" theme for their wedding.  To order go to: http://www.recchiuti.com/.  For apples fans, I've provided a photo of those as well.  Order online for out of town brides.

Chocolate Ballotin's to Die For!

Anyone familiar with the King of Prussia Mall outside Philadelphia has probably sampled sweets from Antoine Amrani.  For other locations got to: http://www.antoineamrani.com/wheretobuy. For those who don't live nearby, they can order favors from their web site at: http://www.antoineamrani.com/weddings-events/2-pc-ballotin.html or from other specialty shops carrying their brand.  Simple & perfectly sized for wedding or shower favors & gift bags their 2-pc Ballotins come in brown, white, ivory, gold, or select a custom color to coordinate with your event. Each is sealed with an Antoine Amrani label.

Another option is to take their classes, but register now because they fill up quickly! Payment is required at time of your class reservation.  What a great gift for someone who loves sweets! The class schedule is on their web site.  They also offer factory tours which are... awe inspiring.  So if you need a time out from wedding planning consider a quick trip for inspiration and relaxation.

Beautiful Cookies For Your Guests

These cookies aren't your typical wedding favor cookies shaped like a wedding cake or a bridal gown.  Instead they're brightly colored freshly baked sugar cookies that are shaped in rose cabochons.  These flower cookies come in a variety of colors so you don't have to go monochromatic.  If ordering for your wedding the bakers suggests you pre-order well in advance, and leave your event date at checkout in the note to seller section.  You can order these and other delicious things at Etsy's Holiday Candy Lane .

Remember the Days at School with Cootie Catchers?

Well I have to admit I never thought I'd see a cootie catcher at a wedding.But an artist who sells her work on Etsy.com has managed to make that idea a reality.  Her cootie catchers have been shown in New York Brides magazine, Real Simple's web page, as well as Brides.com.  Your guests will be delighted to use these old-school fortune tellers at your reception, and will be sure to talk about what a unique idea they were afterward.  You can find these creatively designed cooties at http://www.etsy.com/shop/katskrafts?section_id=5257347.
