When it came to deciding on our wedding favors, Mr. Tortolito and I agreed to avoid using anything that could potentially end up in the trash bin. We wanted something more "practical" and less "keepsake." Our main criteria for our favors were that they should be a) an easy project, b) inexpensive, and (most importantly) c) EDIBLE. Nobody would toss an edible favor to the trash, right? I hope? Especially not if it's a soft, chewy, and melts in your mouth-type of favor!
As if we weren't already stuffing our guests' faces with enough food and snacks, we opted to throw another treat into the mix. This time, we're going for a modern twist and incorporating the increasingly popular trend of wedding macaroons.
I haven't had the pleasure of sampling the famous Laduree macaroons from Paris, so I'm no expert on this French macaroon business. I assure you, though, that I am the least pickiest person when it comes to macaroons (or any cookies for that matter)! Luckily, Mr. Tortolito and I seem to have found a spot here in downtown LA that delivers some pretty delish French cookies and pastries.
Bottega Louie in the heart of downtown LA. Their packaging won me over.
But their yummy desserts are what keep me coming back!
A sample of their daily macaroon selection. I've got my eyes on the dark red macaroons. I'm debating on whether we should stick with one color, or a lot of different vibrant colors to add pops of color to the tables!
For presentation, I'm thinking of using a square transparent-ish envelope or a clear box (whichever is easiest and cheapest!):
We'll add a quick "Thank You" tag, seal the edges/lid, tie a ribbon, and we've got us some favors.
What do you think? Should we stick to one or two "signature" colors for the macaroons, or use an assortment of colors?
