Another fun trend in weddings is to include a mini buffet of snacks on each of the tables, rather than having one big table of goodies. This allows your guests to have a few things to snack and munch on during the night.
And, I’m really loving the Fall feel of these snacks. Would go great for a barn wedding, or any wedding with a rustic, Fall feel.
And, of course I love this one – mostly for the FI, since he loves tomatoes and all.

In our household, we try really hard to remain eco-conscious and buy organic when we can. Which made me think about some great organic candy options for a candy buffet. And, thanks to Sara Snow’s recent blog post, it was an easy search! Plus, after eating all of that Halloween candy, you’re probably looking for a better alternative!
Yummy Earth has great assortment of organic lollipops. The pomegranate one sound delish (I’m on a big Pom kick right now). Dum Dum definitely doesn’t offer that flavor!
The Natural Candy Store features a big variety of organic, vegan, gluten free and other sweet treats. I’m sure many of you may be cringing at the idea of “healthy-ish” candy, but I think it is a fantastic way to make a candy buffet unique and different (especially if you like to be eco-friendly and healthy!
These brightly colored macaroons would be a fantastic addition to any candy buffet.
You’re Beautiful
As much as I know there are plenty of brides out there who like to keep their wedding colors muted, I urge you brides out there to have fun with it. Pick a little color and be bold! Sure, wear your white dress, but add fun splashes of color like those delicious macaroons.
And, now I’m hungry.
If you do not know who Amy Atlas is, I urge you to follow her blog. This is especially the case if you are planning a wedding. Amy is an event planner in NYC, well known for her delectable dessert tables. She started her blog as a way to share her fun ideas and showcase her work. I even featured one of her fantastic dessert bars in one of my previous posts (see here).
For any of you brides out there looking for great candy buffet inspiration, her site is the place to start. With spreads like this, all of your guests will be floored (at least I would if I saw one of these at a wedding) and you’ll be proud of your DIY work!

Obviously, not every bride and groom out there would be able to foot the bill to have Amy design their candy buffet/dessert bar, but the great thing is her table set-ups and color choices provide a source of inspiration and ideas to help you create your own version. And, with lovely wedding classifieds sections like those found on Weddingbee and Bravo Bride, and sites like Bride$hare, you can save a few bucks by creating your own beautiful buffet!
Although wedding planning has been put on hold because work has owned my life, I still have had time to catch up on my favorite wedding blogs.
The other day I happened to be snooping around on Style Me Pretty and came across this fantabulous candy buffet set up. I have tossed around the idea of having a candy buffet at the wedding with the FI a few times and we both really like the idea of it as a wedding favor. We just have yet to really find a set up that we like. On top of that, we both really LOVE the idea of a photo booth (more on that in another post).
Back to the candy buffet. So I was on Style Me Pretty and found this:

How fantastic is that set up? Obviously we would go with colors that complement those in our wedding scheme, but it’s just so fun and refreshing! We’d opt for circular stands, instead of the square stands seen here, but I love how Amy Atlas set this one up. Now, with the size of our guest list, we would need to make it larger, but this is a great foundation (if we really go the candy buffet route). Not only that, this just makes the candy look so appetizing.
Now I want some rock candy!
Have any of you thought about doing a candy buffet? What helped you to make your decision?
