Earlier this year, we told you about the wedding cake-shaped chocolate truffles from Godiva. If you liked the idea but couldn’t stomach the $10 per piece price tag, check out this similar chocolates from Choclatique. They’re half the price, at $4.75 each, and available in white, pearl, or gold.

For the last several wedding seasons, brown has been the hot color. But according to wedding planners, black is back in a big way for 2009. Brides are pairing classic black with everything from white and turquoise to gray and baby pink. One of our faves? Black and plums.
If you’re not really a white-dress kind of bride, check out this fabulous pink gown from Sottero & Midgley. It’s a strapless, fitted A-line with a corset back and a sweep train. Swarovski crystals decorate the lace applique on the ruched bodice and the skirt is layered tulle. Gorgeous.
We love these Boxed Woodlands invitations from Etsy.com seller decadentdesigns. Each invitation, $7, is printed on white cardstock and backed with red and brown cardstock. The box contains three small pinecones and comes ready for shipping in a padded bubble mailer. A memorable way to set the tone for your winter wedding!
