Let me tell you, you are not alone. There are so many brides and bridegrooms out there who would just do anything to add that fairyland touch to their decoration.

Wedding candy buffets in which candies of different shapes, colors and sizes are displayed separately for the guests to choose their pick, are the perfect way to add that little bit of magic and out-of-world experience to your wedding. So for all those couples who are considering this option in their wedding decoration, given below are some unique ideas, which are sure to add excitement to your wedding.

Containers
For a wedding candy bar buffet, the containers used to hold the candies should be preferably transparent. In transparent jars, the numerous colors and shapes of the candies are clearly visible to the guests, thus increasing the overall visual appeal of the candy buffet. You can either purchase such containers for your wedding or you can consider renting them out from a wedding planner or a florist. Also, see to it that you are using containers of different shapes and sizes such as round, elongated, square, open containers, those that come in the shape of trophies, etc.

Candy Numbers
A candy buffet for wedding is not only meant for your guests to satisfy their sweet tooth, it is a means to beautify your venue too. So when purchasing candies, do not count your guests and buy candies accordingly, instead think of how it will fit in your decorations. A good idea would be to purchase at least eight to ten kind of different candies and about fifteen pounds of each of the varieties.

Colors
If there are just two or three colors that you are using in your wedding decorations, what you can do is to choose your candies in the same colors too. For example, if you are planning on an all white wedding, go in for white candies. If it's a green and pink wedding, go in for candies in the same colors.

Decorations
Ideally, the decorations should complement your other wedding decorations. For example, if you have a particular theme, the same should be extended to the buffet table decoration. A wedding candy buffet should include an attractive table runner, preferably in the wedding colors, decorative pillar candles and floral arrangements. To give your table decorations a unique look, you can add your and your partner's childhood photographs or some pictures of your engagement party.

There are a lot of things that you can do to make a style statement through your candy buffet ideas. Displaying the candy containers at different levels by putting supports underneath the table cloth, matching the candy jars with your centerpieces and keeping some candies in different shaped glasses such as wine glasses and martini glasses alongside containers, are some of the things that you can consider doing.

Candy Do-it-yourself Favor
Nothing can beat the fun of selecting your own candies. So keep some boxes and bags for the guests in which they can take away candies of their choice. To personalize this fun favor, you can get your and your partner's name printed on the bags and boxes along with the wedding date.

When it comes to decorating candy buffets, one can be as creative as possible. For example, you can put up some cute sayings like, "Our love is as sweet as candy" or a famous Mae West saying "Too much of a good thing is wonderful". You can even decorate the buffet according to some interesting themes such as "retro". The main idea is to make them as fun and childish as possible. After all, once you get married, you will have lots of responsibilities to handle, by keeping a candy buffet at your wedding, you are actually saying goodbye to your "childhood".
