Fall is always a great season, and I love the warm and rich colors that it brings, just like this delicious and inviting caramel apple station that I designed for a fun couple getting married at the Darlington House.

I displayed mini Lady apples and Gala and Fuji apples on my collection of rustic wooden boards, ready to be dipped in hot and decadent caramel or dark chocolate.

The toppings were carefully selected by the bride, Alison for her guests: mixed nuts, crumbled cookies, sprinkles, granola, M&Ms, and edible glitter. I placed these in wide glass bowls marked with double layered tags so guests could easily pick the ones of their choice, just like in an ice cream store. Euro Pastry provided apples, caramel and chocolate, and all the toppings.

I also created a banner made with wooden discs and felt, and it was tied with a burgundy ribbon matching the wedding color palette. This banner is currently on sale in my Etsy store.

My caramel apple station was a big success – not only at the reception but also on other blogs:
