Stock Farm Barn - Styled Wedding Photoshoot
On the 19th February, we were asked to take part in a styled wedding photoshoot. We jumped at the chance to showcase what we can do in our bespoke range.
This was the first experience for us as a 'wedding favour’ supplier, but it was great fun! We were given the brief of ‘Old Hollywood Glamour’ with a colour palette of white, black, nude and grey.
Having used coloured cocoa butters for some years now, I opted to keep it quite clean and simple to meet the brief. I decided to create two types of favour. The first was a set of 4 chocolates with 2 flavours in a clear box with an organza ribbon, wax seal, dried flowers and personalised touches. The second was a more simple, Berry bar with a satin ribbon, a sprig of dried flowers and a personalised label.
Our first chocolate was a Belgian white chocolate bon bon with a silver swoosh. I backed the silver cocoa butter with a black cocoa butter to help the silver stand out more against the white chocolate background. Once i’d finished with the coloured cocoa butter I then went in with the silver lustre powder that we use from Faye Cahill. Adding in the extra lustre creates a pearlescent finish on the white chocolate shell. This chocolate had a Mango puree filling. One chocolate from the two mango chocolates was also decorated with a white chocolate bee finished with a silver lustre.
The second chocolate in our set of four was splattered with black, white and silver cocoa butter to create a more modern effect, and to help it pair well with the more simple chocolates in the box. These chocolates were filled with a lemon puree.
The other wedding favour that I chose to create was a small Belgian white chocolate berry bar. Our White Chocolate Berry Bar contains dried strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. The tartness of the berries really compliments the creamy, white chocolate!
The berries were in a clear packet to keep it nice and fresh, wrapped with a cream satin ribbon a sprig of dried flowers and a personalised label.
Overall, we had a fantastic day and it was so amazing to meet so many like-minded suppliers in the wedding industry, and for them to pass on their knowledge and experience to us was invaluable!
