Take advantage of your wedding theme color select candy in colors that will match the theme that you have already choose you could do a mixture of colors or just go for one shade perhaps a shade that matches the bridesmaids dress.

For an overall uniform look incorporate your wedding table centerpieces and table linen on to the buffet table.

Use clear glass containers which will show off the candy colors and don't be afraid to decorate these containers with matching ribbon.

Use containers that vary in size and shape, but do make sure that the neck opening is wide enough to allow the use of a scoop.

For visual appeal display the containers at different height levels. To do this, place the containers on sturdy boxes which have been hidden by a decorative cloth.

Make sure that you use a table which is suited to the size of the buffet that you are trying to achieve, for example a small candy display on a large table would look empty so you would be best using a smaller table to create the look of abundance.

Have the candy table placed away from a wall if possible to allow smooth access from all sides.

For hygiene purposes cover the containers containing any unwrapped candy with plastic wrap until needed as well as scoops and tongs.

When purchasing scoops make sure that they fit the container openings.

Make you candy choice on the season and location of your wedding, for example if your wedding reception will be in summer and outdoors you may like to avoid candy like chocolate as these will melt.

It is always nice add a label to the container stating the contents. This could be very beneficial to any guest who may have allergies.

If you want a display to look full use more wrapped candies as they take up more container space than unwrapped candy and have these spill over onto the table.

Use fillers to add bulk to the candy table such as mini cookies, nuts or fruits such as strawberries and grapes

Be creative in the way that you display your candy. Bundle lollypops to look like a bunch of flowers or make mini topiary trees with candy.

Depending on the size of display you want to create purchase 5 - 10 types of candy each weighing 15 - 20lbs (6 - 9kg) this may seem a lot but it will help make the candy buffet table look plentiful.

Keep the cost of the candy buffet in mind when planning the wedding budget as it all can add up quickly. To keep the cost down purchase candy in bulk and keep an eye out for those end of holiday sales and only use about five different candy types.

Complete the look with favor bags such as organza drawstring bags, Chinese takeout boxes, paper bags or cellophane bags matching your theme colors. Personalize these with a wedding favor tag or wedding favor saying.
