All about this blog...

Hi- My name is Quiana and I am the owner & designer of Chocolate Brooms and Bouquets (www.chocolatebroomsandbouquets.com), a collection of handmade & custom designed wedding items made especially for the unique bride.

I design & create wedding decor & accessories including placecards, bouquets, and cardboxes just to name a few of the many things I love to make. After studying art & design for 20+ years & getting married myself , I decided to launch a wedding business that allow me to create wedding items that will truly reflect the beauty of the couples commitment to each other.

Knowing that there are countless wedding blogs out there- I wanted this blog to be one in a million- offering BOTH wedding style & marriage substance. In a time where there are countless brides-gone-crazy shows, divorce rates being high as can be and wedding cost going through the roof- I thought to myself what happened to being/ acting/speaking/listening/breathing in LOVE. Isn’t that truly what your wedding should be anchored in?

So inside these pages you will find REAL TALK about real love, marriage & of course weddings ­ exactly in that order! On a bi-weekly basis, you can look forward to
