The containers were a collection we obtained
from garage sales and clearance items.
We incorporated candy that coordinated with the
wedding's color scheme...green and brown.
A touch of elegance was added by placing some
tulle around the containers with strings of pearls.
The framed note on the table read....
Step up to the candy buffet,
It's a sweet addition to the day,
This is a treat for you,
Using the scoop and choose what you would like
but please be polite and leave some for others.
As you enjoy this bag of treats remember
Love is Sweet!
A green vase held the treat bags.
Long stem candle holders with candles
added romantic lighting.
To keep this cost efficient, candies were purchased
with seasonal sales and frozen until the wedding date.
The candy scoops were purchased 3 for $1 @ the dollar store.
Have a great day and happy wedding planning !

ReplyDeleteI had no idea you could actually freeze candy! Is that ALL candy? For how long?
Great buffet! I love the saying on the table too! You cannot have too much love nor candy :)
Thanks for linking up!

In answer to Birds question on how long the candy frozen. I bought some after Christmas and some after Valentines day. The rest was bought as the candy came on sale and was placed in the freezer. You'll however want to let it thaw a few days before the wedding . This will prevent moisture to accumulate under the wrappers or between the candy.
ReplyDeleteOooooh, you had me at candy buffet! No reason for having it needed ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you were planning a wedding for your daughter this summer--I was, too! Her colors were also green and brown :).
ReplyDeleteHi there! great stuff, Thanks for sharing a very interesting and informative content, it helps me a lot, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteGuests can enjoy the candy throughout the celebration or make their own to-go bag as a special wedding favor. Weddings are truly special events and candy weddings are a great way to make it special and sweet.
