Holiday Treats

Have you utilized Pintrest for your holiday decorations, gift ides, treats, and so on?? If you haven't.. you have been missing out! 

We are here to help.

Today's lesson is on what kind of treats and goodies you can make for your loved ones this holiday... thank you Pintrest!

Here are some great, cute, fun ideas that can help spice up your holiday spirit, and possibly catch you some compliments from the mother-in-law. 

How about some holiday truffles?

These are called "eggnog truffles": However, there is no eggnog in them. 

Baked them and LOVED them. Be careful though, they are very FILLING!

These look so delicious. Some people may not enjoy the cream cheese factor in the last truffles, but these would probably be a hit with most people.

Plus, they would taste GREAT with a cup of hot cocoa!

Now for some easy baking...

What does this call for...sugar cookie dough and some rollos?! How easy is that!

Rolo Snickerdoodles

And this... 

You know you can't go wrong with chocolate and pretzels! 

It's the perfect blend of salty and sweet.

How about some good eats for everyone?

This edible wreath is so easy to make and a great finger food idea!

How about something for Christmas morning? 

This looks great and probably tastes even better!

 Lastly, to top it all off...
Let's see how many ways we can jazz up our hot cocoa....

Candy canes for dipping

Candy Canes

Or you can really go all out and have candy canes in marshmallows that were dipped in white chocolate and rolled in sugar for hot cocoa dipping... mmmmmmm <3 

These were delicious! 

Frozen whipped toppings that are in different cut out shapes

Winter Wedding Tips

At the Garden Room, we can't wait for our winter weddings!

With the snow falling and the lights up outside, our venue is already wonderful. Add holiday decorations, dim lighting, and a beautiful couple... and you really have a BEAUTIFUL venue! 

Here are some ideas we have seen (at the Garden Room and on Pintrest): 

Idea 1; A hot cocoa bar for your guests!

You can have individual cups that are decorated to fit the theme. Some additional touches might be candy canes, marshmallows, whipped cream, or even cinnamon sticks!

Look at the cute sign for this cocoa bar! 

Idea 2; Pine cones!!!
There are cone place cards! Look at these cute little place cards. How simple and cheap this would be!
You can add cute ribbons, cards, or even some glitter to spice them up.

You can decorate pine cones and drape them around tables.

You can even use them in centerpiece displays or as a candle holder!

Idea 3; Winter branches and baby's breath! 

These are two very winter and very elegant items that can add the "wow" factor to any wedding! 

The branches can drape lights, jewels, or can even be dipped in glitter! 

Baby's breath looks great in table center pieces, bouquets, or put in with little gifts for your guests.

~ Winter at the Garden Room ~

It's that time of the year! 

The snow is falling, the holiday tunes are playing, and the drink of choice has turned to hot cocoa! 

IT'S WINTER!!!

At the Garden Room, we LOVE winter! With our huge windows, we are able to stay cozy and warm while we watch the thick flakes of glimmering snow fall. It's beautiful. 
It is also a busy time of the season. With family in town, holiday parties, and gift exchanges... the Garden Room is where it's at! 

Why not come see the place for yourself! 
With the snow, decorations, and smell of holiday meals coming from our kitchen.... we can guarantee you will have chosen the PERFECT place for your event this winter.
