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.

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.

There a a lot of things I LOVE about this table decor set up by Cicely at Life Design Event Planning but I specifically wanted to point out the centerpiece. We get a lot of hits from brides looking for candy buffet ideas and this version is fantastic. First of all – the candy display makes a fantastic, unique centerpiece and if you’re going to do a candy buffet, why not work it into the table decor and eliminate the cost of centerpeices? It’s also completely customizable – just pick candies to match your color scheme!

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!
