So \u2014 you\u2019ve caught the candy buffet bug.You\u2019re not alone. More and more brides want to see a tower of sweets at their reception.<\/p>\n

Motives differ: some like how buffets allow guests to hunt and pick according to their personal sweet tooth.<\/p>\n

Others like the fairytale flavor. Candyland, Babes in Toyland, Willy Wonka: some of our earliest dreams of abbondanza <\/em>involve forests where gumdrops hang from trees, chocolate runs in rivers and pillars are peppermint sticks.<\/p>\n

But just as with Hansel and Gretel, there\u2019s a catch to the candy buffet. Namely? Pulling off a successful one involves a touch of magic.<\/p>\n

And if that makes you nervous, rest assured you have company. Because a candy buffet isn\u2019t free. Like any other \u201cwow\u201d aspect of a wedding, it\u2019s part of your overall investment. And while the waitstaff might pass the hors d\u2019oeuvres and the venue lay out the linens, you could be on your own when it\u2019s time to design the candy buffet.<\/p>\n

But not to worry: here are some tips from the pros for translating that bountiful delight in your head into a mouth-watering reality at your wedding.<\/p>\n

The Secret to Sweetness<\/h2>\n

\"\"

Scan all those photos of candy buffets throughout the web, and you\u2019ll quickly spot two things.<\/p>\n

One, buffets are monstrously popular. And two, while some are a feast for the eyes, others seem to fall short of the heights their planners must have hoped for.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s the secret?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s number one: buying enough candy. Sounds simplistic, but it\u2019s key.<\/p>\n

Seducing the Eye<\/h3>\n

\u201cThe first thing I tell brides \u2014 you really can\u2019t do candy as a hard commodity. It\u2019s more a decoration,\u201d says Jon Prince, president of online candy giant CandyFavorites.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talk to hundreds of brides. They\u2019ll say, \u2018I\u2019m having 200 guests, and I want to give each guest 3 ounces, so I guess I need about 37 pounds of candy.\u2019 Sounds reasonable, and 3 ounces might be enough to actually satisfy your guests, but visually? It won\u2019t be enough to make a presence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince suggests that instead of seeing candy by the numbers, brides take an aesthetic approach. \u201cYou choose the flowers because they\u2019re beautiful,\u201d he says. \u201cThe candy buffet should be too.\u201d<\/p>\n

And unlike flowers, Prince adds, candy serves double duty as an edible item<\/a>. \u201cStill, you have to budget the candy buffet into your wedding expenses. It doesn\u2019t work well as an afterthought.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

An Aesthetic Equation<\/h3>\n

But what about the wedding planners who suggest buying a pound of candy per person?<\/p>\n

Prince says buffets work best when you plan by the eye, not the numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make it look gorgeous, I\u2019d start with the table, not the guest count. I\u2019d take five to 10 types of candy, and buy 15 to 20 pounds each, whether you actually need that much or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds, \u201cWhen it comes to candy, the more the merrier. If you have a large table overflowing with candy, you have presence. The biggest disappointment I hear is that the candy buffet didn\u2019t look substantial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like a Kid in a Candy Store? Here\u2019s What to Buy<\/h2>\n

Okay, so now you have a handle on those numbers. But between the heaping bins at upscale food markets and the galaxies of candy choices online, which temptations do you choose?<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t any hard-and-fast rules, says Prince.<\/p>\n

\u2026like everything else in weddings, candy buffets are getting more & more personalized<\/b>.<\/div>\n

But are there any trends afoot? Any rush for a particular kind of candy?<\/p>\n

Not really, he says. Instead, it\u2019s the season\u2019s colors and personal themes that are driving brides\u2019 choices.<\/p>\n

Andy Wignall of The Rock People\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0agreed \u201cyou can always get a candy buffet compiling everyone\u2019s favorite\u2019s but people aren\u2019t interested in taste nowadays, they are interested in theming and nothing stands out like personalized sweets.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Theme\u2019s the Thing<\/h3>\n

To illustrate, Prince describes an all-white Miami wedding where the couple set up 20 to 30 pounds each of white candies, placing the unwrapped varieties in jars, martini glasses and other interesting containers, and piling custom-wrapped mint rolls in front. \u201cIt looked fantastic,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/div>\n

Then there was the bride with an Emilio Pucci theme, who ordered her candy in a stylish palette of brown, pink and green.<\/p>\n

Mark Kingsdorf of The Queen of Hearts Wedding Consultants<\/a> concurs: it\u2019s the themes that shape candy buffets. \u201cAnd like everything else in weddings, candy buffets are getting more and more personalized, with more and more variations.<\/p>\n

Retro Revivals<\/h3>\n

\u201cOf course, \u2018Everything old is new again,’\u201d he adds. \u201cSo you see things like retro candy buffets. At one wedding we did the candy bracelets and necklaces on the elastic cords; the little waxed bottles filled by sugar water.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are very few themes you can\u2019t do with candy. Beach weddings are fun, with all those boardwalk choices: saltwater taffy, caramel apples, fudge, peanut brittle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amplifying Your Style<\/h3>\n

\u201cI like to focus,\u201d explains Prince, \u201cbut the focus can be anything. Candies you personally like, or a theme, or a texture. If you\u2019re having an all-white wedding, you\u2019ll want an all-white candy buffet. If you\u2019re having a destination wedding in an exotic location, you could choose dramatic, Caribbean types: Island Punch Jelly Belly beans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, you want \u2018presence.\u2019 Mies van de Rohe once said \u2018Less is more,\u2019 but he definitely wasn\u2019t talking about candy buffets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

Fashion a Feast for the Eye<\/h2>\n

You\u2019re set. You\u2019ve narrowed down your choices\u2026 and you\u2019ve got the goods. Now how do you add those visual touches that turn your buffet from \u201caww\u201d to \u201cjaw-dropping\u201d?<\/p>\n

\u2026to make the look pop, raise some of your containers<\/b> on a rack \u2026 or a milk crate.<\/div>\n

Regal Crystal<\/h3>\n

For starters: choose cool containers. \u201cOne of the more striking displays I\u2019ve seen put the candy in William Yeoward and Baccarat,\u201d says Prince.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically \u2014 and this is a good idea \u2014 the couple matched their candy containers to their floral vases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Affordable Alternatives<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t have quite that much fine crystal waiting in the wings? Here\u2019s a budget-friendly alternative from Kingsdorf. \u201cFind some interesting containers: different shapes, different heights. Personally, I\u2019ve used a dozen different containers from Ikea, and the most expensive one was about $10.\u201d<\/p>\n

He adds that clear containers are best, to show off the contents, and that container mouths should be wide enough for the scoops.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/div>\n

Pro Planners\u2019 Tricks for Better Buffets<\/h3>\n

\u201cTo make the whole look pop, raise some of those containers on the table.\u201d Kingsdorf explains an old catering trick is to take a catering rack or a milk crate \u2014 \u201cthe kind that restaurants and supermarkets get their milk delivered in\u201d \u2014 turn it upside down on the table, and cover with a cloth.<\/p>\n

\u201cA nice bunching fabric gives you spill and texture. Put some of your containers on top of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final touch? A floral arrangement. Or more cheaply, some complementary pillar candles in your wedding colors.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget the Take-Away<\/h3>\n

Kingsdorf adds that your most personal touch could be the candy bags. \u201cAt one of the weddings I did recently, the couple went to a dollar store and got a bunch of takeout containers in red, one of their colors. \u201cThey personalized each container with a little sticker, which was inexpensive and very cute. Anyone could do the same thing: use a tag or little rubber stamp, or stickers.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust find a way to add that custom touch.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (for Candy)<\/h2>\n

\"candy

So why are candy buffets so sizzling hot these days, anyway?<\/p>\n

Simple: they\u2019re a huge hit with guests. \u201cFavors can be a tough choice,\u201d points out Kingsdorf. \u201cDepending on your guests, you might find yourself picking up a ton of personalized CDs or bottle stoppers at the end of the night. But when it\u2019s edible, people eat it \u2026 or take it home. I think a lot of brides are cueing into that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prince adds, \u201cIt\u2019s just a trend people are enjoying right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when you really dig down,\u201d he muses, \u201cit\u2019s not about the product at all. It\u2019s about nostalgia.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a lot of weddings, two people are taking a major step toward adulthood. The candy buffet lets them connect back to any fond memories they have of childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cCandy is powerfully reminiscent,\u201d he concludes<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
