Outfit and accessories
For the chocolate ceremony, the heroes of the occasion are invited to consider several successful options.
A white fluffy dress with a corset will emphasize femininity and fragility. The classic ceremony outfit is complemented by chocolate accessories, brown makeup and hair decorations. Chocolate-colored stilettos, satin gloves and a belt will add zest to the look. When choosing shoes, one should not forget about convenience. If a girl feels insecure in high heels, then it is better to refuse them.
An excellent solution would be a fitted dress made of satin or silk.
This outfit will perfectly highlight a chiseled figure and is suitable for any time of year. For a wedding in chocolate color, it is better to give preference to light shades of the dress - champagne, milk or caramel.
Leather sandals are chosen for the warm season, and elegant closed shoes are suitable for cool weather. The decorative elements are a silk belt with embroidery or a veil, which can be either matching the outfit or contrasting chocolate. A dress with a long flowing train in chocolate or beige looks elegant.
It is better to choose gold jewelry. Stones of brown or chocolate color look good - diamond, opal, chrysoberyl, onyx, rauchtopaz. For an eco-wedding, jewelry made of jasper or agate is suitable.
Hairstyle plays an important role in creating a wedding look. Hair is decorated with bows, flowers, hairpins or hairpins with imitation precious stones. The lighter the bride's hair, the darker the accessories should be. Dark-haired girls are better off choosing jewelry in light colors.
Bouquet
Making a luxurious bouquet for a wedding in chocolate color is not difficult, because brown inflorescences are often found in nature.
Florists recommend choosing:
- roses;
- irises;
- callas;
- chrysanthemums;
- peonies;
- lefty;
- hibiscus;
- gladioli.
For a winter bouquet, decorative elements made of chocolate and confectionery pearls are used as additional decor. These can be figures of butterflies and birds, flowers, curls and petals.
Inserts of chocolate candies strung on wooden skewers are placed between the flowers. In the summer, satin ribbons in the main color of the wedding, rhinestones, pearls, and lace braid are suitable for decorating a bouquet.
Advice! Dilute a plain chocolate bouquet with flowers of beige, white, yellow, milky, terracotta or pink.
Creating couple images
Shades of chocolate color are multifaceted and can be both dull and rich. Adding matching details made of dark beige material to your outfits will add aristocracy and elegance. The bride will look feminine, as well as gentle and unusual. A wedding celebration in brown tones is an excellent option for celebrating in winter or autumn.
Bride's outfit
For brave ladies, the best option would be to choose a fitted or fluffy outfit, made in a soft chocolate shade. An outfit complemented with a long train looks elegant, as the flowing fabric will be associated with melted chocolate. This trick will add charm and style to your image.
If for some reason the bride is not ready to wear such an outfit, then you can opt for a champagne color or a snow-white classic dress. A good option would be to use shades of caramel, milk, and beige tones. An excellent addition would be a silk belt in a light brown tone, gloves, as well as other accessories made in the main color of the special event. Shoes: sandals or elegant high-heeled shoes in chocolate tones will look harmonious.
Wedding in spring
Hairstyle is another important point in creating an image. Ladies with light hair should choose dark chocolate shades in accessories, and brunettes or brown-haired women should choose caramel and milk shades. Jewelry made of gold or dark or beige beads will look good with a chocolate-colored outfit.
Groom image
The groom can choose a dark brown suit, but the shirt should be milky or white. As an addition, there can be a dark brown scarf in the breast pocket to match the suit. The contrast in the outfit will add solemnity and elegance to the look. Shoes, as well as a tie and boutonniere, made in brown tones will help recreate a harmonious look.
Groom image
At a chocolate wedding, the best solution for the groom would be an elegant brown suit. The shirt to go with it can be white, milky or light yellow. A tie, vest or scarf in light colors will help soften the dark color of the suit.
For the cool season, you can choose a brown tweed jacket with a bow tie - to match the jacket or shirt. A boutonniere with brown flowers duplicated from the bride’s bouquet, suspenders, a tie and leather shoes will help complete the look.
Dress code
The guests' outfits will help support the style of the chocolate wedding. Women can choose belts, scarves or hair ornaments, while men can choose ties, bow ties, suspenders or vests in their chosen shade of chocolate.
If the newlywed has chosen a classic white dress, then chocolate, golden, caramel, and milk are used as the main colors for the bridesmaids’ dresses. In the case of a colored dress for the bride, girls wear dresses in light shades and complement them with chocolate accessories. An original find in the dress code for a winter wedding will be brown leather boots on the feet of the bridesmaids. Bouquets for bridesmaids should contain the same flowers as the bride's bouquet , but in the winter season they can be replaced with imitations - compositions of chocolates.
The groom's friends can support the image of the newly-made husband with chocolate-colored suits, shirts, scarves or bow ties.
Cortege
For a classic wedding in brown, a cortege of retro cars , such as limousines or open chocolate-colored convertibles, is perfect.
If it is not possible to order rare transport, then ordinary cars for guests are decorated with brown satin ribbons, chocolates, as well as compositions of dark brown roses, peonies, irises, hibiscus or gladioli. The car for the bride and groom is decorated with yellow-brown ribbons. It is possible to add a pink tint. A composition of wedding rings mounted on the hood on a wreath-stand, which duplicates the wedding floristry, looks appropriate.
Idea! For a ceremony in traditional Russian style, rent a carriage with coachman and horses, or a wooden wagon.
How to decorate a wedding beautifully in brown tones
A brown wedding is a special occasion. Everything associated with a hint of chocolate makes the atmosphere not only solemn, but also elegant. An atmosphere of comfort is created with the help of:
- light textiles;
- atlas;
- tulle;
- paper pompoms;
- garlands;
- chocolate fountains.
Brown is a color that is both warm and austere, associated with the taste of chocolate.
Decorating a room and creating decor will require the use of not only brown, but also beige or cream, white or any pastel shade.
The chocolate tone is ideally combined with turquoise and blue, yellow and lilac. When working on a wedding decoration in a brown shade, use pastel colors to make the chosen color scheme soft and slightly muted.
Expressiveness can be achieved with the help of bright red or turquoise details that will fit well into the overall design of the celebration. Yellow and orange are symbols of the sun, light, joy. They go well with brown and can be used to create some decorative elements, select flowers for the bride’s bouquet or fabric for the groom’s suit and bride’s dress.

Accessories for a brown wedding help create an antique atmosphere. These include invitations in the form of scrolls, and special frames and compositions for a photo shoot.
Scenarios
Like any color wedding, a chocolate wedding requires carefully thought out design , but the chosen color scheme provides excellent clues for unusual scenarios.
Country
A country style ceremony is appropriate at any time of the year. To decorate an autumn celebration, a combination of chocolate with yellow, beige, and milky colors is used. In summer and spring, green, white and pale pink shades are added. Most of the celebration is organized outdoors. An old manor, a wooden country house or a recreation center with an interior in the spirit of a Russian hut is perfect for this purpose. You can rent a roadside inn, decorated in the spirit of the Wild West.
The summer holiday is moved to the edge of the forest or the shore of the lake. To create the desired atmosphere, garden wooden furniture, antique boxes and vases, chests, garden tools, and coarse natural fabrics are used.
Sweet Kingdom
A wedding in the style of a fairy-tale sweet kingdom will require imagination, but will allow you to show 100% creativity.
Chocolate fountains and a candy bar are mandatory attributes, which are complemented by master classes on making delicious delicacies, fun competitions for speed-eating chocolate or finding lucky tickets in handmade sweets, as well as sweet prizes for guests. You can organize a tasting of original varieties of chocolate, but you should entrust Willy Wonka, the eccentric and gambling toastmaster, to run everything in the Sweet Kingdom. Such a holiday is a real godsend for those with a sweet tooth, because in one evening they will fulfill a month’s quota of eating a wide variety of chocolate – bar and figured, milk and bitter, solid and liquid. The main thing is that the children present do not develop allergies, because they are unlikely to be able to resist sweets.
Retro
Brown tones are great for a retro wedding. Turquoise or mint is used as an additional shade. For musical accompaniment, tracks of the corresponding era are selected. Invitations are hand-signed and decorated with lace. The outfits of the newlyweds should also fit into the retro style. For example, the groom might wear a brown tweed jacket and hat, while the bride might wear a short 50s-style dress, fur boa, or veil.
In the spirit of the Middle Ages
A wedding in a medieval style is decorated in brown and golden tones. Invitations in the form of scrolls are sealed with wax or sealing wax. Knights' shields, swords, and flags are used to decorate the hall. The bride's dress is made of velvet or satin. The hair is styled in a high hairstyle. The groom tries on the image of a real knight, putting on a camisole and picking up a sword.
A castle, old cottage or manor is perfect for the ceremony.
