Baby, it’s cold outside and we are warming up with hot cocoa! Why not warm your guests up at your winter wedding with a hot chocolate bar?

Fun add-ins like chocolate dipped candy canes, flavored marshmallows, whipped cream in cute shapes and specialty syrups make your guests feel like getting in the spirit.

And don’t forget for guests 21 and over to add a yummy shot of Bailey’s or Kahlua  to bring your hot chocolate to the next level.

You can even send them home with a hot cocoa favor to enjoy later. Now off to make some hot chocolate for ourselves!

Beth with Asheville’s florist Studio Flora Diva works magic with flowers. Her eye for beautiful and trend setting florals is truly impeccable. From the traditional white wedding to the out of the box Great Gatsby affair, Studio Flora Diva delivers perfection every time. Check out Beth’s advice below.

Top piece of advice for couples in the planning process:

1. hire a qualified wedding planner! Budgeting for planning services will be one of the best investments (other than the flowers, of course!) you can make! The list of reasons for doing this is long, but a good planner will be your liaison and voice in a sea of vendors….

2. Have a wedding suitable for your budget. My mantra: It is better to have the wedding of your dreams with 75 guests, than stress out trying to make it work for 250….

We always love the unexpected element in a wedding. Or a traditional item with a twist. Reimagining weddings is what gets us going.

Instead of the traditional rose petals lining the aisle try a beautiful and interesting scallop or branches.

Like petals covering the aisle? A swirly pattern might be for you.

If you don’t want just one aisle, set your chairs for a ceremony in the round.

Want a big impact? Follow a famous wedding’s lead with trees lining your walk. The possibilities are endless to reimagine the aisle, you just have to find your inspiration.

Tiffany’s Baking Co is one of Asheville’s best cake bakers and designers. She is able to bring any design to life and make it taste good! Tiffany’s delivers quality cakes that are always the talk of the wedding. Whether you want a traditional white tiered cake or a sculpted masterpiece, Tiffany’s Baking CO is the place to go. Tiffany shares her planning advice ::

Too much research of cake designs, already done,  (ehem Pinterest fans) will actually stray you from keeping true to ‘your style’.  1-3 images is plenty.  With some insight on color palettes and floral for the event.  The rest of the cake/dessert designing process is smooth as icing. ;o)  While choosing flavors for your delicious cake, don’t be afraid to add in a ‘fun’ tier for your guests.  it will not only give the ‘foodies’ something to Twitter about, but will help the cake you ordered get devoured.  And lastly…… think about the lighting the cake will have.  Sometimes a dark corner in a reception room will require a cake with a ‘pop’ of color, interest, or unique lighting, while an outdoor wedding cake with tone of sunlight looks amazing with use of edible metallic elements, sparkle, or textured interest.  have fun!
