Create Your Own Wedding Candy Buffet

Wedding Wednesday


There are a variety of buffets you see at weddings; cake, cookie, candy and food buffets.


Choosing a candy buffet for our daughter's wedding added elegance, color and fun for the children.


We started out by collecting a variety of containers of different shapes, sizes and heights.



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 !

  5. WOW! Joy!

    I 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!

  6. 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.

  9. Hi there! great stuff, Thanks for sharing a very interesting and informative content, it helps me a lot, keep it up!
    Guests 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.
