A Chocolate Pear-adise Wedding

Who wants Chocolate? I do! Kathleen Smith, Founder of THE CHOCOLATE PEAR weds her knight and shining armor in a beautiful Chocolate and Pear theme ceremony!

THE WEDDING

Kathleen Smith & Bernard Randolph Jr. weds on February 23, 2008!

Kathleen is a private chef and chocolatier, proprietor of THE CHOCOLATE PEAR COMPANY. She incorporated her skills and creativity in several parts of their big day.

Table capes, menus, chocolate place cards, in shapes of musical instruments in honor of her husband's love of jazz, and individual wedding cakes for each guest are handmade creations from this Chocolatier Diva!

For the ceremony in their home, decorated sparkled chocolate pears dangled from the guest chairs and handmade wedding programs with a string of pearls that displayed their initials were distributed.

Sounds like a Chocolate Pear-adise to me!

THE INVITATION

The handmade invitations were chocolate-dipped pears and round chocolate invitation, were placed inside a custom-made chocolate suede hat box. The boxes were tied with rhinestone buckles and tuille ribbon, delivered by a courier.

Now this is what I call CREATIVE!


If this isn't enough for you, Kathleen's daughter, Paula, also has her own Chocolate company, PAULA BEAR CHOCOLATES! How adorable! The dynamic duo mother and daughter team are living the chocolate entrepreneur dream!

THE DYNAMIC DUO, Kathleen & Paula!


When I met Kathleen a year ago, I was so inspired to do a Chocolate theme candle and that's when "Chocolate Pear-adise" soy candle was created! The candle is scented with White Chocolate and Pear! Look for this delicious candle on HelenJulia.com soon!

Don't say I didn't warn you! It's a widely accepted fact that chocolate improves almost anything... This luscious pairing of white chocolate & pear will satisfy that chocolate craving. Create your own "Pear-adise" when burning this elegant candle made for the chocolate lover in you... Sophisticated, beautiful and smells delicious!



Kathleen Smith of THE CHOCOLATE PEAR is available by appointment only, to receive her beautiful unique chocolate creations by phone (314) 277-9330 or email thechocolatepear@gmail.com.

Helen Julia's Chocolate Pear-adise Soy Candle is currently available by phone (718) 619-2267 or email info@helenjulia.com.

Congratulations Mrs. Kathleen and Dr. Bernard Randolph, Jr.! Wishing you happiness, longevity and many beautiful blessings!

If you're ever in the South New Jersey area, you have to put Swanky Bubbles on your "To Do" list! I fully recommend this restaurant if you're in the mood for fun, laughs and amazing atmosphere whether you're getting dinner after work or looking for a place to hangout over a weekend!

I had the best time and plan to be back as a vendor in the near future!

This was an amazing experience and I've met amazing people.

Look for an invitation soon to attend a Dove Chocolate and Soy Candle party! Chocolate Martini's will be served courtesy of DOVE Chocolate At Home company!

I hope to see you soon! Until next time...
