Luxe Ways to Incorporate Chocolate into Your Wedding Day

Sweeten your wedding even more by incorporating chocolate into your wedding day, in the most luxurious ways! Click to explore!

“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” That’s what Charles M. Schulz said, and we sure live by that!

Chocolate sure makes our lives better and there is no denying it. A square of chocolate after an emotionally turbulent day, a box of chocolate on your anniversary, that chocolate dessert after a romantic dinner, there is nothing in our pantry that can hold a torch against any of those things! In many ways, chocolates are more than a food item, a dessert, something sweet to turn a day around. It is, in fact, a feeling, an emotion, a tug in the heart, a smile on the face! Of course, when the most romantic day of your life rolls in, you will want to include the most romantic food item in history to be a part of your special day! If the first thought which rushes in when it comes to cake flavors or desserts is “Chocolate”, there is no denying that there is a special place in your heart for it, and chocolate does deserve a place on your wedding day.

While the most obvious way of using chocolate on your special day is to use it in your cake, which we think is always the perfect choice and a crowd-pleaser, there are many other ways to use chocolate on your wedding day too! The good thing is that chocolate is very diverse, yet uniquely rich and decadent, and fits quite comfortably into a special day! Here are some of the creative ways chocolate can make the happiest day of your life a little better, and also lend your guest some serotonin boost, leaving them feeling warm and fuzzy and happy!

Personalized chocolate blocks

There are so many ways that you can personalize your chocolates whether you want to do it by the block, or have them in personalized squares, the effect will be enduring for sure.

Chocolate cake

A chocolate cake is divine, decadent, yet such a comfort food too, and it is only natural that it finds its way to the sweet table of a true chocolate lover. If you want the classic look you can coat the chocolate cake with vanilla cream or fondant and it will always be a nice surprise when you cut a slice off the white cake to find the rich chocolate goodness inside. The great thing about chocolate cake is that there are so many different ways you can go with that, whether you want to pair it with a layer of vanilla cake, or you want to add berries of your choice, there are inexhaustible options to choose from. For a fall wedding, a dark and moody chocolate cake adorned with fall accents will be the perfect fit; while for a rustic wedding, chocolate naked cake brushed with buttercream coating will be just amazing. From chocolate truffle cake to artistic marble chocolate cake to a simple white cake with the chocolate drip, there is a lot for you to choose from!

Smores

If you want to incorporate chocolate into your summer wedding, what better way to do it than with smores?

“Sonnet 116”- William Shakespeare

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments.

Love does not love which alters when it alteration finds

or bends with the remover to remove:

Oh, no! It is an ever-fixed mark.

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

it is the star to every wandering bark,

whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool,

though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle’s compass come;

love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

but bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.”

“I’ll Be There For You”- Louise Cuddon

“I’ll be there my darling, through thick and through thin

When your mind’s in a mess and your head’s in a spin

When your plane’s been delayed, and you’ve missed the last train.

When life is just threatening to drive you insane

When your thrilling whodunit has lost its last page

When somebody tells you, you’re looking your age…”

“The Portrait Of A Lady”- Henry James

“It has made me better loving you… it has made me wiser, and easier, and — I won’t pretend to deny — brighter and nicer and even stronger. I used to want a great many things before, and to be angry that I didn’t have them. Theoretically, I was satisfied, as I once told you. I flattered myself I had limited my wants. But I was subject to irritation; I used to have morbid, sterile, hateful fits of hunger, of desire. Now I really am satisfied, because I can’t think of anything better.”

“How Do I Love Thee?”-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall love thee better after death.”

Romantic Love Wedding Poem By Unknown Poets

“Marriage”- Anon

“Marriage is about giving and taking

And forging and forsaking

Kissing and loving and pushing and shoving

Caring and Sharing and screaming and swearing

About being together whatever the weather

About being driven to the end of your tether

About Sweetness and kindness

And wisdom and blindness

It’s about being strong when you’re feeling quite weak

It’s about saying nothing when you’re dying to speak

It’s about being wrong when you know you are right

It’s about giving in before there’s a fight

It’s about you two living as cheaply as one

(you can give us a call if you know how that’s done!)

Never heeding advice that was always well-meant

Never counting the cost until it’s all spent

And for you two today it’s about to begin

And for all that the two of you had to put in

Some days filled with joy, and some days with sadness

Too late you’ll discover that marriage is madness.”

“True Love”- Unknown Poet

“True love is a sacred flame

That burns eternally

And none can dim its special glow

Orphan grits destiny

True love speaks in tender tones

And hears with gentle ear

True love gives with an open heart

And true love conquers fear

True love makes no harsh demands

It neither rules nor binds

And true love holds with gentle hands

The heart that it entwines!”

Heart Touching Poems To Read At Wedding Ceremonies

Wedding poems from famous poets like Rumi, can melt even the hardest of hearts and can easily draw tears even from a stranger. And that is why wedding poems from these poets are incredibly touching and absolutely recommended for your special and memorable day!

“He’s Not Perfect”- Bob Marley

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

“So This Is Love”- from Cinderella

“So this is love

So this is love

So this is what makes life divine

I’m all aglow

And now I know

The key to all heaven is mine

My heart has wings

And I can fly, I’ll touch every star in the sky

So this is the miracle that I’ve been dreaming of

So this is love”

“I See The Light”- from Tangled

“And at last I see the light

And it’s like the fog has lifted

And at last, I see the light

And it’s like the sky is new

And it’s warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once, everything looks different

Now that I see you”

“Let Me Put It This Way”- Simon Armitage

“Let me put it this way:

if you came to lay

your sleeping head

against my arm or sleeve,

and if my arm went dead,

or if I had to take my leave

at midnight, I should rather

cleave it from the joint or seam

then make a scene

or bring you round.

There,

how does that sound?”
