Candy Buffet :: A Work In Progress

Candy Buffet to do list:

• Buy containers for buffet - done!
• Buy candy - done!
• Make containers pretty - done!
• Assemble candy containers for guests

I spent a good 4 hours last weekend getting my hands sticky with super glue putting the containers together. But I think they turned out pretty good. 

I also received the first round of candy I ordered, now I have to hide it from myself and TG so we're not tempted to eat it! :)

I ordered half of the candy from Candy Warehouse and the other half from Bulk Candy Store -- which should arrive Tuesday. 

Reception decor inspiration

I always imagined a simple but elegant table setting and I think ours will look a lot like this (actually, it's nearly identical):

...except indoors.

And to top it all off, here is my first inspiration board! Special thanks to Picasa for making it extremely easy to make.

Candy Buffet Inspiration

I'm not going to lie, I really do NOT have much of a sweet tooth. But I know a lot of people do and I love the look of a candy buffet so gosh darnit, we're going to have one!

Here is some of my inspiration...

So many decisions! But here is what I'm thinking...

• Clear containers (in fact, I already started buying some)
• Pink and black candy with splashes of white maybe
• Have the candy buffet available during cocktail hour

But I'm having a hard time deciding...

• What kind of freakin' containers do I get??
• Should the cake be on or near it? What if people knock it over?
• Decor? I'm thinking fresh flowers?
