{Inspiration} Candy Buffets


If you've chosen a less formal affair with a fun edge, this trend is for you!  Instead of a plated dessert that may not cater to everyone's taste, a candy buffet offers a variety of sweet treats that guests can pick at.  Candy matching the colour scheme of your wedding can add to the look of your day and extend your decor beyond just overlays and flowers.  It is a good idea though, I believe, to keep it simple.  Unless you're planning on having a rainbow coloured wedding, stick to a few colours  that will compliment your decor, or it could end up detracting from the overall effect!


This idea can work well in place of savoury welcome snacks while you get your photos taken.  And it will be especially popular if you've decided to allow children at your wedding!  (It is perhaps a good idea to have their parents keep an eye on how much they eat though, or you may end up having rowdy kids roaming the hall while speeches are being given.)

There is a downside, however.  If you're working with a smaller budget, this idea can become quite pricey, especially for larger weddings.  Remember, you need to be sure you cater enough for all of your guests.  The food is one of the aspects of a wedding that everyone remembers, and if you run out it can leave a sour taste in your guests' mouths.  Buying in bulk can remedy the cost problem to a degree, but it is also perhaps an idea to go for popular local products rather than fancy imported products if you are working with a tight budget.



Until next time!
Peace and Love!
