I love the look of paper Rosettes and they have a ton of possible uses for bridal shower and wedding decorating! They can be made in pretty much any color, pattern and size just by changing up the paper you are using which makes them extremely versatile as well. they area very simple to make. The Broke Ass Bride recently posted a wonderful DIY Paper Rosette Tutorial you’ll want to check out.

See ideas for ways you could use paper rosettes:

- decorate the back if the bride and groom’s chairs
-create a backdrop for your ceremony, head table or buffet table

-decorate favors, napkin rings, table numbers, invitations or other small items with mini versions

Fruit & Vegetable Wedding Buffet

Posted by Crystal in Candy Buffets, Food and Meals

I found this featured on the Austin Wedding Blog earlier this week and fell in love! What a great, healthy twist on the popular candy buffet – and it looks absolutely gorgeous. This would be a great idea for cocktail hour – a light snack for guest to enjoy while they wait for supper. It could also make a great night snack for guests later in the evening.

Crafty Crocheted Wedding Cake

Posted by Crystal in Candy Buffets, DIY Weddings

I found this beauty today on Crafty Crafty. No – it’s not a real cake. It’s a crocheted wedding cake meant to be used to store and protect china dinnerware but if you’re planning a different dessert for your wedding and want a cute alternative for decor and photo opps – this could be it.

This would also be a great decor piece in the center of your candy buffet or dessert buffet if you are opting for that over a traditional cake dessert.

It’s definitely got a Martha Stewart feel to it.

The pattern is available for free from Berroco.

Beautiful, Colorful Candy Buffet

Posted by Crystal in Candy Buffets

I recently had the pleasure of meeting one of this area’s newest wedding vendors – Ashley of Sweetness Buffet. Sweetness buffet specializes in one of our favorite topics: Wedding Candy Buffets. She’s done some amazing buffets which are currently being featured at SteinbachWedding.com. Here’s a sneak peak at my personal favorite:

I absolutely love the bright beautiful colors! Color is huge right now – and the bright fun colors in the candy and on the polka dot table cloth really give this candy buffet a fun, authentic candy shop feel. Plus – you don’t have to deal with finding tons of candy all in the same colors and you can incorporate all of your favorites easily.

L O V E Dishes for your Candy Buffet

Posted by Crystal in Candy Buffets

I got a great question from a reader this week:

My future daughter-in-law and I are planning the candy buffet for her September 19, 2009 wedding. We have seen pics online of candy dishes that were fairly large that spell out the word L O V E. Each dish was separate and I believe was made of ceramic. It really set off the mood of the wedding having LOVE candy dishes filled with brown, orange and yellow M&Ms. Any idea where we could find these dishes? Thanks so much and God Bless! Cindia

So I did some research and found a a great source on eBay that offers them for $30 per set! Great idea Cindia!

I write about candy buffets a lot, and you guys seem to eat it up so I know you’ll love these personalized mini glass candy jars as much as I do! They are absolutely chic, and would suit a retro wedding perfectly. You could also add tags with your guests names on them and use them as place cards, or pile them together on a table for a stunning display in place of a traditional candy buffet.
