Fountains for Weddings And Their Many Uses
from: Barbara KingI attended a Bridal Show yesterday afternoon with a friend at
the local Friends Community Center. One of the things that
impressed me most was the many ways that you can use a fountain
at a wedding reception. Traditionally, fountains have been used
for years for punch or champagne, but now they are coming in all
shapes and sizes and are being used for all kinds of foods.
The large 3 tier champagne fountain now looks very
elegant with melted chocolate pouring over it's sides, and a
matching 3 to 4 tier serving tray piled high with strawberries,
chunks of fresh pineapple, marshmallows and pretzel sticks. The
guests can help themselves using wooden skewers and let as much
chocolate as they dare to drizzle over their choice of fruit or
marshmallows. I've even heard that at some weddings the
chocolate fountain is beginning to replace the wedding cake. The
large 3 tier was by far the most elegant, but the splash over
was greater as well. If you are considering a fountain of this
size be sure to surround the area with white linen towels that
can be washed.
I saw chocolate in smaller two tier
fountains. By the way, you can choose white chocolate, milk
chocolate, dark chocolate, or just any variation that you can
come up with. I would probably go for this smaller fountain
because it would be just as much fun with a lot less mess.
Punch, champagne and chocolate are not the only things
that you can put in the fountains. Ranch dressing flowing from
the smaller two tier fountain looked great sitting on a table
with fresh vegetable trays or salads, or next to a cheese tray.
What about barbecue sauce in the small fountain next to
a plate of meatballs or tray of chicken or ribs. Even melted
cheese can be used in the fountains. Quite frankly, you can just
use your imagination to see what uses you can come up with.
All of the fountains that I saw were available for
rental by the day. The elegant 3 tier fountains with gold trim
went for around $35.00 to $40.00 per day, while the small two
tier fountains rented for $15.00 to $20.00 per day depending on
the company and how they were made. The 3 tier elegant clear
plastic tray for the fruit display rented for $14.00 per day,
but you get the tray lighted for $20.00 per day.
One
thing you might want to realize is that you will need to
designate someone to remove the leftover chocolate and clean the
items rented and make sure that they are returned in good
condition.
Adding a chocolate fountain can add a whole
lot of fun and elegance to any wedding reception, and as you can
see it doesn't have to be expensive.
