Chocolate Wedding Ideas for a Sweet Celebration

Your wedding is fast approaching, and as you plan the details of your ceremony and reception, you may be looking for ways to incorporate a little something extra that's almost as sweet as your love: chocolate! The sugary treat is bound to put smiles on your guests faces—as well as your own. To help you find the perfect way to include your favorite dessert in your big day, we've rounded up an array of inspiration photos that'll satisfy any craving. These chocolate wedding ideas are both delicious and unique. We'd call that a winning combination.

An obvious choice is to serve a chocolate wedding cake, but even that doesn't have to be average. Consider the drip design on one of the slides ahead—it's creative and still tasty. You can also supplement your confection or replace it altogether. We've featured some yummy recommendations that include everything from chocolate ice cream to chocolate donuts. Your edible offerings aren't limited to the dessert table, though. You can have chocolate place settings, gift chocolate favors, or even infuse your cocktail hour with chocolate.

Once you've decided which snack (or drink) to spotlight, it's time to plan how you'll package or present it. Our suggestions include chocolate bar engravings, adorable hot chocolate carts, and chocolate cookie towers. They also include this chic custom chocolate wrapper, designed by Peanut Press Creative. After all, ideas as sweet as these deserve to be displayed in fun and stylish ways.

Whether you're a milk, white, or dark chocolate fan, there's a way to honor the popular flavors at your wedding. If your mouth isn't watering yet, it will be soon.
