Cocoa Loco

Custom Wedding Chocolates from Edward Marc

Why wait until the end of the night to serve dessert? A sweet day needs an infusion of sugar from beginning to end.

You’ll still let them eat cake, of course, but kick off the wedding with beautiful trays of chocolates for guests to nibble before the ceremony starts. Try melt-in-your-mouth personalized medallions from Edward Marc. The 95-year-old family chocolatier makes pretty little square and round bite-sized treats in dark, milk or white chocolate that you can emblazon with your initials. Continue the chocoholic theme with customized chocolate wedding menus placed at each table — after all, appetizers always taste better with candy.

It’s a sweet gesture.

A Sweet Ending

Homemade Cookie Favors by DeLucious Cookies & Milk

Comfort food is the new wedding cuisine of choice, and you simply cannot beat homemade sweets. Guests always love a treat on their way out of the reception, but baking brownies for 200 is not on your agenda.

Have someone else do the mixing and stirring. DeLucious Cookies & Milk, a bakery popular with the stars in Los Angeles, now offers its delicious, gourmet cookies as wedding favors. With 24 flavors — everything from chocolate with white chocolate and M&Ms to ginger spice with green tea buttercream — all made from scratch, these cookies trump anything homemade. DeLucious will even create a custom confection for your wedding favors, cut the treats into hearts or your initials, and ship its pretty packages anywhere in the U.S.

Save room for dessert.
