As much as I would love to talk about all of the songs that Mr. O likes to randomly start belting out (trust me, it's a lot) that's not why I started this post. This is all about the Candy Buffet! At first, I called it a "Candy Bar," but people got confused because they thought I was talking about chocolate.
When the wedding planning first started, the day after we got engaged (hehe, jk... kind of), I started looking in magazines, blogs, etc... You know, the norm. Well, I love candy and so does Mr. O. I don't eat it all the time but that's only because I don't let myself buy it. If I have candy around I usually devour it. You can tell why I fell in love with the idea of the Candy Buffet.
I wanted something that people could take home as favors but it wouldn't just be thrown in a drawer (or in the trash - sad!). I like the idea of people snacking on it on their way home or whatever their hearts desire. I also love the cute, old fashioned candy dishes. Growing up, my family and I would go to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg about once a year and all of the candy shops have them. They are adorable! Must. Have. Candy. Dishes.
The way that I plan to tie it into the wedding reception is a little different than the "wedding norm," in my opinion. As much as I love the color coordinated candy buffets, I don't think they are for us. It would limit our options too much and we don't want to do that.
So, we are embracing the colorful awesome-ness of an assortment of goodies! We are even incorporating some homemade treats from Mr. O's mom and some of my family members -- my mom, aunt, and great gma spend days before Christmas making delish candy). My inspiration ranges, but here are some things that make me swoon.
This mosquito net photo makes me all types of 11 year old "I love Andrew Keegan" giddy!
