This Alice in Wonderland themed wedding is made complete with a hookah bar, dreamy decor and "Eat Me" and "Drink Me" treats. Despite absolutely drooling over all the beauty of the venue, themed touches and colors, I think their dog in the tutu might have come close to stealing the show. Seriously cute.

If you're in the midst of planning the perfect fall or winter wedding I have a delicious treat for you. Hot, creamy, sipping chocolate..on a stick! Treat your guests to this great find from Giver's Log. All you need is your favorite chocolate, ice cube trays, and sicks. Add your chocolate creation to a mug full of hot milk and cream (kept in a warmer), and voila! Heaven. If you want to spice it up a bit add some cinnamon, red hots, nutmeg or even cayenne pepper.  A great plus is that you can make these months ahead of time. Enjoy, and be sure to invite me to your wedding. Thank you.

Wedding Candy Buffets Oh La La!

|

Candy Buffets are one of my favorite wedding trends. Who does NOT smile when they see a huge table full of colorful yummy candy?! No matter your age the word candy brings happiness I say. Jars full of M&M's, banana runts, sticky gooey taffy, and as many chocolate variations as you can find-now that's a party!  In addition to candy buffets being just plain fun, they are also a great decoration.

Make your candy table unique by finding and decorating your own jars of different colors and sizes, decorate your table with petals, flowers, candles and even add childhood and current pictures of you and your loved one. Choose colored candy that matches your wedding theme and colors. Don't forget to add some of your favorite childhood candy like ring pops, candy bracelets and necklaces, lollipops, and even pop rocks.

One of my favorite displays is from Wedding Bee. I just want to dive head first into this table of goodness. I like how cupcakes and amazing little decorated cakes from Bakerella are added to the buffet. Let the inspiration begin.

To stock up on all of your wedding candy needs check out A Candy Store where you can select by color AND flavor. They have all of the old favorites like pez, rock candy, jawbrakers and more. You can also find many of your favorites at the Candy Warehouse and they include a video on how to create your own buffet. Have fun creating and save some goodies for me!
