Kernels Southern Gourmet Popcorn Brings A Pop of Wedding Fun via Popcorn Bar, Favors

Wednesday, April 2, 2014

If you're looking for a fun addition to your wedding reception, hoping to provide something delicious for your guests to snack on, or trying to make sure your guests really enjoy their wedding favors, then a popcorn bar or favor bag may be the perfect find for you! Kernels Southern Gourmet Popcorn is a family owned business that originated in Nashville, Tennessee. Based on the belief that their customers' needs are of the utmost importance, their entire team is committed to meeting those needs and providing a stress-free experience. As a huge popcorn fan, I was excited to try some of their mouth-watering flavors, and they did not disappoint! I spoke with Amber, one of the three sisters who own Kernels, to see what this scrumptious snack company has to offer Nashville brides.

What are the most popular options that you provide for weddings?
Our most popular wedding option is the Kernels Mini Bag. These bags contain about one cup of popcorn, include a customized label and a ribbon. Typically, the label contains the couples' name and wedding date. These bags are great to have at place settings to give your guests something to snack on while they wait on the wedding party. Prices start at $1.50/bag.

What can a bride expect from Kernels?
Being a small business, the Kernels experience is very customizable. If there's a flavor (or bag or label) the bride wants that we don't have, we can probably get it. We can deliver to homes the evening before or to the reception the day of the wedding. For popcorn bars, one would just order the bulk bags and fill their jars. We don't provide jars, but we can recommend where to get them.


 
Do you provide popcorn for bridal showers or rehearsal dinners?
Yes, Kernels will meet any popcorn need! And we ask that brides remember Kernels around nine months after their honeymoon for a "ready to pop" baby shower theme!

What flavors are usually chosen? What interesting flavor combinations do you recommend?
Our popular flavors for weddings are Salted Caramel, White Cheddar and Frosty Caramel (a vanilla coated caramel). Flavored popcorn is fairly new to Nashville, so I recommend our Music City Mix. This is our Gourmet Caramel mixed with the Gourmet Cheddar, which gives you a sweet and salty combination that is very flavorful!

Feel free to stop by Kernels at their store front location at 2501B Gallatin Ave in East Nashville to see how you can incorporate their gourmet popcorn into your wedding activities. Make sure to sample all of their delicious flavors while you're there!
