How to Make Wedding Decorations With Hersey's Kisses

Sweet Hershey's Kisses make whimsical wedding decor items.

Hershey's Kisses are foil-wrapped, bite-sized pieces of chocolate that are known to symbolize love. Save time and money by creating your own Hershey's Kisses wedding reception table decorations. Hershey's Kisses-enhanced centerpieces will look both sweet and romantic. The chocolaty decor pieces can also double as guest wedding favors and snacks. Creative Hershey's Kisses table decorations are conversation pieces that guests will enjoy both looking at and eating.

Things You'll Need

• Wrapped Hershey's Kisses
• Clear glass vase
• Silk flowers
• Bud vases

Instructions

1. Choose Hershey's Kisses according to the wedding reception color scheme. Use silver-wrapped Kisses, which are easily found, to create elegant or winter wonderland-inspired decor. Look for Kisses featuring specialty colored wrappers such as light pink, green, blue or red.

2. Fill 3/4 of a large clear glass vase with wrapped Hershey's Kisses. Choose silver or gold Kisses for a hint of glamor and sparkle, or brightly hued-wrapped chocolates to add a pop of color to the wedding reception table.

3. Nestle long-stemmed stems of silk flowers into the Hershey's Kisses to create a secure fit. Choose silk flowers according to the wedding theme. Pick traditional red roses for a romantic look, or bright pink and white orchids for a tropical-themed wedding. Place the chocolate and flower-enhanced vase in the center of the reception table.

4. Place a few Hershey's Kisses into bud vases, along with a small faux flower that matches the centerpiece blooms. Set one bud vase by each place setting and instruct guests to take them home as party favors.

5. Finish the look by scattering Hershey's Kisses over the reception table so guests have something to munch on before or after dinner.
