Let Panna Dolce Sweeten Up that Special Day

Posted by StrictlyWeddings.com :: 3 Comments :: Filed Under

Panna Dolce specializes in bridal/wedding orders requiring personal customization as well as parties and events. Custom colors, flavors, and fillings are never a problem; they have even matched their macarons to the bride’s shoes – not an easy task. Using their online store, customers can personalize favors with message, photos, logos and monograms that serve as perfect mementos for any occasion.

(Wedding Shower Favors)

Panna Dolce is the brainchild of three Chicago-based friends and partners, Katharine & Justin Greis and Lauren Robin. Katharine and Lauren run the baking and product development while Justin handles much the technology and marketing. The three friends came together in 2009 after a five year obsession with creating the perfect French Macaron! Their mission was to develop an authentic Laduree-style French Macaron that was true to its classic french roots yet resilient enough to ship cross-country. It took five long years, but they finally figured out the perfect recipe to make the macarons incredibly tender and delicious yet strong enough to handle the shipping process to any corner of the U.S. Each piece of perfect pillowy culinary art explodes with flavor. Flavors such as Key Lime, Almond Butter and Strawberry Jelly, and Chocolate Caramel Marshmallow headline their collection and have drawn a cult following of macaron devotees. Panna Dolce does not skimp on quality. They only use the finest ingredients and bake each macaron to-order to maximize shelf life.

Along the way, Katharine and Lauren invented three cookie recipes (Chocolate  Chip Oatmeal Raisin Walnut, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cranberry and Toffee Pretzel Peanut Butter Crunch) and a Brownie (called The Brownie to End All Brownies) too good to keep secret.

You can find Panna Dolce online at PannaDolce.com as well as Twitter and Facebook. You can also check out some of their event photos and favor examples on their blog or at Flickr.com. Chicagoans can also find Panna Dolce at your local Goddess and Grocer store in Bucktown, Gold Coast and Elston.

For more information please contact Lauren Robin.

Marcy Blum and My Dove Chocolate Present Wedding and Entertaining Tips for the Summer Season

Posted by StrictlyWeddings.com :: Leave a Comment :: Filed Under

Marcy Blum, wedding and entertainment expert and author of Weddings for Dummies, offers tips to reflect this summer’s entertainment trends, with a focus on the personalization and individual touch of My Dove® chocolate.

This summer, wedding and dinner parties are all about intimate details. “Smaller, Chicer, Personal” touches are all the rage. The trend for over-the-top weddings has passed, and it is all about sharing moments with your guests. From handwritten place cards, to customized notes and personalized turndown service—everything is about intimacy.

Smaller
Keep the invite list limited to your nearest and dearest. This will give you time with those most dear to you on the most important day of your life. With a smaller guest list, every moment will be a lasting memory.

Chicer
As you plan your intimate affair, it is quality before quantity. “Mini-weddings” are the newest way to exude glamour and sophistication. Friends and family will feel treasured when treated to an elegant, intimate sit-down dinner. A unique venue like an art museum or a private yacht club allow for memorable, chic moments.

Personal
Create special memories for your guests that will last long after your dancing shoes have been put away. Be original and make them feel welcome—personalized notes for each person are an extra special touch. Or try something more engaging and leave a blank note card at each guest’s plate so everyone can write heart-felt sentiments for the happy couple. Handwritten notes will never loose their charm—enjoy reading them after the honeymoon or at your 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

While taking special care of your guests, make your wedding a reflection of you as a couple. Customize the cake, the place cards, and the wedding favors. You can make these favors reflective of your style with personalized messages printed on the inside of the foils of new My Dove® chocolate. Visit www.mydovechocolate.com, and share the most precious and intimate moments in life with your loved ones.
