Life Is Sweet ~ Please Take ATreat

Creating a candy buffet, dessert buffet, pie table or adding plates of cupcakes are some fun additions to give your guests something to remember.  I would love to tell you that I have "a favorite", but the truth is, I love all of these ideas!! 



Here are some ideas for your buffet:

1.   Follow through with your color scheme if you choose. 
2.   Go monochromatic for a dramatic effect
3.   Use all chocolate candies or multiple flavors, shapes and sizes
4.   Dress your candy buffet area up.  Add flowers, paper pom-poms, ribbon, signs, or elegant table covers.
5.   Make your buffet whimsical, elegant, simple or elaborate
6.   Use your candy buffet as the "favor" for your guests.  Have some nice bags {or lunch bags dressed up with a personalized label} for everyone to fill up and take home.
7.   Make sure you have scoops for your candies.  You don't want hands all over everything.
8.   Use boxes under the jars to add dimension to your table.
9.   Label your candy jars with some fun names, fun shaped labels and ribbon.
10. If your buffet will be against a wall, put up a backdrop of sorts to make it a focal point.


Here are some of my favorite inspirational pictures of the ever popular Candy Buffet.  mmm...

Theme Thursday: Hot Pink Inspiration

I have seen a lot of weddings that incorporated a number of different shades of pink into their decor.  I have to be honest and say that hot pink/ fuschia was never really one of my favorites...until now.  As I was looking at Pantone's wedding colors for 2012 I thought I'd give it a go with Cabaret {which to me looks very hot pinkish}.  I took some time looking at the colors and getting a feel for the sort of elegant wedding that could incorporate this color and this is what I came up...what do you think?

I gotta say...I like it!

Happy Thursday everyone.
