If you want your wedding to end with a sweet and surprising touch, you can not miss a wedding Candy bar. The sweet table full of doughnuts, sweets, waffles, cupcakes… that all your guests will be expecting.
What is a wedding Candy bar?
The Candy bar is a sweet table that is usually placed at weddings during the party as a snack after the dinner. It is a buffet table with a variety of pastry and sweets decorated in a very nice way to attract all eyes, and palates!
You don’t have to confuse it with the wedding cake presentation table, for the bride and groom to cut the cake, nor with the desserts or cake. The Candy bar is a different table that is usually placed after the banquet and wedding cake, for guests to eat some sweets and treats.
What should a Candy bar have?
There is a variety of sweet tables for weddings, but the most common is that they combine different pastries (donuts, brownies, chocolate lollipops, cookies, muffins, mini cheesecakes, etc.) with sweets and treats (clouds, hearts, cokes, bears, etc.).
You can choose the sweets you like the most, or you can let yourself be recommended by the venue or catering with which you organize the wedding, it is a sure success!
You can also include some personalized detail. A very cool idea is for example, to put cookies with the initials or names of the couple. Apart from being delicious, they are a souvenir for the guests.
Decoration for a wedding Candy Bar
The decoration of the Candy bar is key to its success. If there are some great sweets, but they don’t look good, the table will not stand out.
The pastry and sweets must be placed in very cute trays and jars to create a wow effect to your guests. The most used are trays, high bases and glass jars, but you can also use porcelain jars, baskets or wooden trays.
We recommend combining trays, bases and jars of different sizes and heights. Playing with golden tones, from the trays and bowls, will give the final touch to your Candy bar. And do not forget the most important thing, choose a nice table or cart where to place it, for example, an antique wooden table.
In addition, you can not miss table decoration. Like flowers, candles, a curtain of lights, some personalized sign, or even a neon light sign. It will be one more element of your wedding decoration. For the signs you can play with sweet phrases like “Love is sweet”, or “A sweet ending for a new beginning”. Let your imagination run wild.
Also, if your wedding has a specific theme or style, you can decorate the Candy bar following that style.
When is usually placed?
The sweet buffet is usually placed after the banquet, during the dance as a snack. It is ideal to maintain the energy of the guests during the party. Even so, it can be placed whenever you want, for example during the cocktail.
You might think that maybe with all the food that the guests will have eaten during the reception, they will not be hungry to eat the Candy bar, but you will be surprised to see that there is always room for something sweet… We promise you!
Recommendations for your wedding Candy bar
Here are our 5 best recommendations to create the perfect candy bar for your wedding:
– Offer a variety of pastries and sweets: each guest is different, and we all have our favorite sweet. If there is different variety, there will be more chances that everyone likes it.
– The importance of decoration: place the sweets in trays and beautiful jars and add flowers, candles, decoration… it will be the key to attract everybody’s attention.
– Place it during the dance: definitely, the best moment to set the sweet table.
– Bring take away bags: so that guests can pick up some sweets for the way back.
– Make it easy: sometimes we want to do it everything ourselves and personalized, and at the end, for lack of time or experience, we end up going last minute and the result is not what we expected. If the venue where you organize the wedding offers Candy bar and it fits you, take it! I’m sure they have a lot of experience and know exactly what a Candy bar needs to be amazing.
