Sweets for my sweet...

Candy buffets have become quite a trend at weddings and are a great way to emphasize your colour scheme as well as providing favours for your guests... and they look great in photos!

However, there are a few things to consider when looking at incorporating a candy buffet table at your wedding:
1) it can, very quickly, look messy as people help themselves to candy
2) empty candy containers aren’t going to be very pretty to look at once the candy is gone
3) you may need someone to make sure the container are continuously filled with candy...and this cannot be left to a wedding guest to do
4) kids are going to be like moths to a flame to this table

So, yes, it’s pretty to look at. But we all know once people start digging in, without any control or supervision, it may soon look like a candy bomb exploded at your wedding. So, if you can plan around the cons of a candy buffet, we say why not? When else in your life are you going to be able to have your very own candy bar? You can either go the option of getting someone to do the whole candy stand for you or you can rent the candy jars yourself and fill them up with your own candy.

Wonderfully Whimsical

I love it when the decor at a wedding reflects the elements of a novel (maybe it's because I'm an avid reader who actually studied Publishing). This one is no exception and is peppered with motifs and items from Alice in Wonderland. Taken by the super talented duo Carolien & Ben of Carolien & Ben Photography at one of my favourite venues, Morrells, this wedding was full of the most darling details. View the full post here.
