As you probably already know, candies buffets are a popular trend that we think is here to remain. All things considered, candies buffets are inviting, thematic, and delicious! So today we’re here to explain how to make a candy buffet in your that is worthy of your weddingday. All it takes is just five easy steps.
Step 1: Choosing Your Theme/Colors
A candy buffet consists of containers and sweets in a variety of shapes and dimensions — therefore it’s very important to pull all of these various factors using a theme or colour story in order to achieve a cohesive look.
Your selected theme will pave the way toward the range of containers, sweets, and decorations so it is important to master this step . An easy way to select your color theme is by considering your wedding colours. For instance, if your wedding colour is purple, then decide on a multi-hued purple candy buffet. The different hues and colors of purple will enhance your wedding colours beautifully while still allowing the buffet to stand out on its own.
Another choice is to pick out a complementary candy buffet colour theme entirely different from the wedding colour. By way of example, if your colours are black and white, consider playing up a golden themed candy buffet. The gold will match the black and white motif without being overly matchy-matchy.
Step 2: Choosing Your Candies
Now that you’ve selected your colors, let’s get to the sweet stuff. Choosing candies may seem like a simple task, given the broad selection of candy to choose from, but have you ever considered how much to get? Exactly how many different choices you should provide? What shapes to select? These are significant factors to think about for a diverse and intriguing candy buffet. To make it easier, we propose the following in candy selection:
- Make certain to include these shapes: small and round (foil wrapped chocolate balls), straight and long (licorice sticks), and whimsically crazy (swirly lollipops
- make certain to include these flavors (something for everybody!) : chocolate, sour, hard candy, and chewy candy
- Strategy on 8 oz of candy per week. Most bulk candy is sold by the pound, with 1 pounds. Equaling 16 oz
Measure 3: Selecting Your Containers
With numerous packaging options available, we believe setting up for this particular step may be the most fun of all. When picking your containers, opt for jars, bowls, bottles, etc. that are inside your theme or color story. For example, is your theme”classic”? If so, shop for mason and apothecary style jars to evoke a nostalgic appearance. But no matter theme or color narrative, be sure to pick jars in multiple sizes, shapes, and heights to get a multi-dimensional look.
Equally as important as your candy containers are the function ware and goodie bags. Be sure to provide enough scoops, tongs, and boxes and bags in order that guests are in fact able to get to the delicious candy!
Step 4: Putting Your Table
Setting the candy buffet is much more than just putting the filled jars and bowls on the table and walking off. You must make sure that each container is available and attractively positioned. Listed below are our rules . Like the class photos of the youth, the tall kids in the trunk, and shorties at front. If you don’t have a lot of tall/large containers, it is simple to make this look by stacking boxes or vintage fashion books (as long as it coincides with your theme) and then placing the stuffed candy containers at the top.
Now that the back is set up, work your way toward the front with falling containers until you have reached just the table top. Here you are able to exhibit small trays, trays, and bowls.
Measure 5: Rounding Up The Décor
This last step is what attracts your entire look together. Now that you’ve set up successfully, it is time to add the finishing touches with decorative accessories. To ensure a beautifully finished wedding candy buffet, include these items in your checklist:
- Matching backdrop (fabric, bunting flags, or paper background )
- Tablecloth (be sure to stay on topic )
- Centerpiece/focal stage (this is a grand candy container)
- Signage (candy labels or motivational quotations )
- Table décor (confetti and cupcake toppers)
