Fall & Chef Themed Wedding Ideas?!
Fall & Chef Themed Wedding Ideas?
Help I'm getting married in Nov. and i am planning on a fall themed wedding but i need help gathering info! anyone with fall themed invitations, table pieces, cakes, wedding favors, etc,.... my fiance is a Chef, so we are trying to incorporate chef theme as well ( mini whisks, cookie cutters in the shape of maple leaves etc.) any idea will be greatly appreacted. Thanks
Answers:
My best friend's son got married in the fall and they had small ornaments (burnt orange, brown and burnished gold, tied together with deep green ribbons. These were scattered over the tabletop. In your case I love the idea of adding mini whisks, etc. For the centerpiece I can envision bowls or tirered plates of artfully displayed fruits, nuts, leaves, etc. Or perhaps paper chef hats with tulle added as a wedding veil with the first idea scattered around it. What about the kind of fruit and veggie displays you see at fancy buffets or fruit kabobs? Edible centerpieces instead of flowers!
Why not use the maple leaf cookie cutter idea as napkin rings? For favors your fiance absolutely must have candy, sweets or whatever is his specialty at each place. Another idea might be a small collection of his favorite recipes. What about having a printer (or even doing it yourself on your computer) printing about a dozen recipes featuring pictures of both of you? I'd love receiving something like that and it would be very personal and novel.
I am sure that if you work with a printer they could help you design personal invitations. If you want to do something clever you could word the invitation like a recipe. Example:
Recipe For Wedding of "X" and "Y"
Take one "your name" given by "your parent's name"
Add "your finace's name" given by "his parent's name"
Mix together well on "date" for "time"
To ensure the perfect union of the above ingredients please attend this event and watch carefully until done.
I am sure you can come up with a better way to state things, but you've got the idea.
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. Wishing you best of luck for a long life of cooking and eating together. :}

OK, where to start: How about making the Grooms' cake, in the shape of a chefs' hat? Favors for the guests: your favorite recipe on special cards that have "From the Kitchen Of" at the top. You can fill in your names and the date of the wedding.
How about when you cut the cake, you each have on a hot pad, like you're taking something hot out of the oven?
Try going to one of these websites, and having a custom cake topper made, depicting the groom with a chef's hat and white coat or apron? The sites are:

The table centerpiece can be a nice tall Fall Floral Arrangement with Silk Fall leaves scattered around the bottom, with little mini-wisks, etc. mixed in.
Invitations can be in a Fall Color and to be really unique, could be in the shape of an apron, look like a cookbook, look like a menu, etc.
Hope something here helps!
Smirnoff,
I am not sure if this is what your are looking for and I know you said chef themed, but the best wedding favor I ever received and thought was so unique as well as useful was at a wedding in New York City that I was attending.
Every guest was given a customized jewel box of these small but very strong magnets. The company is called Herculittles. They were so cute. I can’t do the favor justice by trying to explain it here. I suggest you look at their web site and see pictures of their samples as well as testimonials.

I did end up using them and they were the provider of favors for two showers I was helping to throw. Really great idea, I think, for everyone was hoarding them.
Hope this helps and congratulations by the way.
