Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates Offer on Black Friday

Custom Chocolates - Loftin Wedding

For the Loftin wedding, the bride wanted Milk Chocolate Champagne truffles. She loved our standard Milk Chocolate Champagne truffles, but wanted a more liquid ganache that flowed in the mouth after the first bite; so we added an extra shot of Brandy to create her perfect truffle. We finished the truffles with the bride's initials. I had the opportunity to hand delivery the chocolates (I normally ship the chocolates) to the wedding venue at The King Plow Art Center. I took at couple of picture, but the pictures could not truly capture the beauty of this wedding.

The event planner for this event was Lauren Brewton of Events with Grace.

Event Planner Networking Event - Chocolate Pink

Last night, I had the opportunity to visit Chocolate Pink for the first time. It was a lovely cafe. I did not get to take many pictures because I spent most of my time networking with the diverse set of event planners, enjoying the delicious desserts and food, watching everyone take crazy pictures in the photo booth and chatting with the owner of the mobile spa.

The space is perfect for small gatherings.

I like the modern, elegant design of the shop.

Flower arrangements were provided by Anik Designs

Chocolate Pink is an unique shop with so much to offer. Some might say that we are competitors since we both offer chocolates. I love my business and I am confident I have a luxury product offering so I think it is fine to compliment a friendly competitor that is doing a great job.

Studio Wed Atlanta

I am excited to announce the opening of Studio Wed Atlanta. Studio Wed is an exceptional concept. The studio will be a central location for brides/grooms to meet with wedding vendors. There are numerous benefits for the brides/grooms such as having a one stop shop location to find some of the best wedding vendors. The owners of Studio Wed Atlanta are conducting detailed interviews of all potential vendors. They want to ensure they get "the best of the best". I don't have pictures at this time, but I could not wait to announce this exciting news. For more information, please contact michelle@studiowed.net or visit http://www.studiowed.net/.

I have been quite busy the past couple of weeks and I have a couple of big events over the next week. I will be posting some of my new creations soon.

Custom Chocolates - Allen Wedding

What I love most about my job is working with clients that want to "push the envelope". They know what they want and we work together to make it happen. The Allens are having a 2009 New Year wedding. Below is a prototype of the Allens' custom chocolate design.

This design is exquisite and bold. I like the bride's choice of color. A red wine colored monogram will capture her quests' attention. We choose a business card size chocolate versus a truffle size because we did not want to minimize the detail in the design.

This is definitely the way I want to kick off my 2009 chocolate line.

Pure Elegance at The High - Atlantan Bride Chocolates

Dreamy Gelato and Chocolates continues to partner with the best in the wedding industry to create custom chocolates for their events. Below are pictures of custom chocolates we made for the "Pure Elegance at The High" event hosted by The Atlantan Bride. My chocolates were gifts for some of the top wedding planners and other wedding vendors in Atlanta.

Unfortunately, I did not attend the event, but one of my favorite wedding planners Michelle Gainey of Lemiga Events has pictures on her blog.

Wedding Vendor: Traditionally Modern

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet with Dawn Cowart, the owner of Traditionally Modern. Traditionally Modern recently opened "The Bridal Lounge" located in historic Buford, Ga. The lounge is in a historic building which was once a bank. The building's elegance is complimented by Dawn's modern design. Dawn's concept of providing an upscale location for brides to "one stop shop" for wedding vendors will be an instant success. Please stop by "The Bridal Lounge", it is worth the drive.

Chocolate Photos

Last weekend, I met with Shannon of Belletti Photography to take pictures of my chocolates in preparation for my advertising in several print and internet media channels. Below are a couple of pictures courtesy of Belletti Photography.

Our Custom Chocolates - The Atlantan table DIFFA

Dreamy Gelato and Chocolates partnered with Paige Smith at The Atlantan to create custom truffles for a very special occasion.

The Atlantan participated at this year’s Dining by Design event benefiting DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS). This is a BIG event in Atlanta with the design community. The designer was Michael Habachy. He truly outdid himself.

Our custom "The Atlantan" truffles we placed on the table. The truffles were presented in gold boxes with clear tops and finished with white English ribbon. I will post more pictures later.

Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates - The Atlantan

I have been very busy the past week working on several custom orders. Clients are coming to Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates knowing exactly what they want and we are working together to create unprecedented chocolate confections. Recently, I feel the days of customers selecting standard mass produced chocolates are a thing of the past. Handmade, customized, artisan chocolates are what customers are increasingly requesting.

For now, I wanted to inform everyone about Dreamy Gelato & Chocolates' new relationship with The Atlantan and The Atlantan Bride. Please check out our new ad in the October issue of The Atlantan.
