Party Theme: Fondue Bridal Shower

I FON-DO 🤎

When our bride asked for this theme, we ate that up and left no crumbs! If you’re unfamiliar with Gen Z slang, that means we did really well… but it also feels pretty literal because, well, the food was GOOD. lol

We had a station for chocolate fondue (accompanied with marshmallow, strawberries, pineapple, pretzels, cream puffs, and cakes), a station for cheese fondue (accompanied with bread bites, sausages, potatoes, and pretzels), and a coffee punch drink fountain (accompanied with water as a second choice). If your mouth is starting to water at this point, I don’t blame you.

This fondue theme was a first for me, but I have a feeling it won’t be the last! If this is your first time using a chocolate fountain too, here’s a little tip! We ordered chocolate online that is specifically made for fondue fountains, and it tasted great and worked like a charm. It comes in little chocolate pellets, which makes the melting process super easy. The cheeses we blended tasted SO good, but I need your recommendations for how to get that perfectly drizzly, dippable consistency.

Fun fact: The bride specifically requested pineapple to go with the chocolate fondue. I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical. But LET ME TELL YOU. I have a new favorite! Dare I say it was even better than chocolate-covered strawberries?

Yes. Yes, I do. 🍍🍫

As far as decor goes, we went for a simple, vintage, formal aesthetic, using all glassware, crisp white tablecloths, a brown velvet runner, and satin ribbons tied around gold candlesticks. We carried the satin bows throughout the space with large bows on the wreaths, signs, and mantle.

Naturally, her favorite color is brown, so I really feel like all of those little details came together to encompass our bride’s vibe to a T. Elegant, vintage, a little romantic, and completely her!
