Candy Inspired Weddings

With the emergence of the candy bar and cupcakes as modern wedding trends, the only logical next step is an entire candy theme wedding.

A candy inspired wedding can work for any season, and this is one theme that will appeal to the sweet tooth in all of your wedding guests.

Since candy comes in many shapes, colors, flavors and sizes, you may want to fine tune your candy themes wedding just a little further. For instance, select a theme such as peppermint for winter weddings or bright candy colors for summer events.

The Candy Buffet – of course no candy inspired theme wedding could be without a candy buffet or sweets bar. Fill large glass containers of varying shapes and sizes with a selection of candy and sweets in complimentary colors to create an eye-catching candy display. Provide paper bags imprinted with your names for wedding guests to fill up and take home.

Candy Theme Centerpieces – fill a large vase with inexpensive candy such as conversation hearts or colored marshmallows and inset a smaller vase inside with candy colored flowers. You could also purchase mini topiaries and wrap the stems in white satin to look like a lollipop stick; attach candy to the branches and cover the soil with jelly beans, or other candy. For a DIY idea, Styrofoam balls, silk flowers, candy, wooden craft dowels, ribbon and terra cotta pots can be made into handmade centerpieces.

Wedding Table Numbers – purchase pre-printed numbers for your wedding tables. You can then stamp candy inspired designs onto the stock. Attach to dowels, and insert into a tall glass filled with candy.

Candy Theme Table Decorations – use candy bracelets or necklaces to wrap around linens for napkin rings. Or select mini candy or cupcake place card holders for a sweet touch.

Candy Theme Wedding Cake – Have your wedding cake cupcake tower decorated with your favorite candy, or accented with candy. Imagine a white cake dusted with coconut as snow and topped with striped peppermint candies for a winter touch. Or picture your wedding cake or cupcakes jeweled with jellybeans! A yummy way to bring forth your candy theme.

Candy Theme Drinks – create a signature candy inspired drink such as cotton candy martini’s. Or jelly bean margaritas.

Wedding Reception Music - play songs such as “I Want Candy”, “Lollipop” or “Candy Man” to create a candy driven dance floor at your candy theme wedding!

Candy Theme Wedding Favors – candy, candy and more candy! Whether you select something modern for your wedding favors such as personalized mint tins, something personalized such as chocolate bars, or something traditional such as candy coated Jordan almonds, all that matters is that you put the finishing touch on your candy theme wedding with a sweet edible favor.

As fun as this theme would be, you don't have to be over-the-top with your decor - keep a lot of your decor neutral and use your candy for your color pop!
