Many of us are thinking about the environment today much more than we did ten years ago. We're taking reusable bags to the grocery store, we're recycling more, eating more chicken instead of beef...whatever it may be you're doing to try to help the environment it's admirable because it makes a difference. Even if you are not planning an eco-friendly wedding, you can make "greener" choices as you plan. By buying these Natural, Candy Buffet, Wooded Scoops instead of the metal ones is just one way to save money and be eco-chic at the same time. They are cute and you can find six (6) here at Bragging Bags on Etsy today for $12.99!

Candy buffets are a very popular wedding trend that guests are loving. You can create them yourself with vases and jars you can find just about anywhere. Buy some candy in bulk and create a sweet display at your wedding reception!

Here's some candy buffet displays that I hope will inspire you!

I was planning on creating a Candy Buffet for our reception and quite a few brides-to-be were kind enough to recommend the CandyWarehouse.com. I was surprised to find that they had that many different types of purple candy to match my theme. They had candy in colors I hadn't even seen before which is great since guests would have been just as surprised. I love that they carry some of my old favorites too like striped candy sticks, salt water taffy and raspberry filled, hard candies. It's definitely worth checking out if you looking for candy in a specific color for your wedding, they have a great variety there.

I love this idea of having a candy buffet bar mainly because I have a major sweet tooth. The one pictured above is an easy one to replicate using the different colored candies and hershey's kisses to match your wedding.

You can find everything you need to create this piece at this link at save-on-crafts.com . If you look closely at the photo, the candy are in vases, not the fancier candy jars which cost more. So below I give you some examples of the size and height of vases you can use to give you a great looking candy table.

Instead of the hershey kisses on the table though, use acrylic ice crystals, since we are always going for that wow factor. You can find them in many different colors HERE including yellow, brown and many more.
