Avoid Candied Mistakes at Your Wedding Candy Buffet As you plan your sweet table for your special day, make sure to avoid these common mistakes that can detract from the beauty and enjoyment of your candy buffet. First and foremost, keep in mind that candy and their glass containers can be quite heavy. To ensure a sturdy and stunning display, opt for a strong, flat, and stable rectangular table rather than a round one. This will also allow you to arrange a wide assortment of containers for easy access to each delectable treat. Just be sure to keep the jars at least 24 inches from the edge of the table and avoid placing them near the table’s edge.
It’s important to make it easy for your guests to help themselves to the candy. For a clean and symmetrical look, arrange the tallest jars in the back, followed by medium-sized jars in the middle, and smaller ones in the front. This not only adds visual appeal but also makes it easier for guests to reach and serve themselves. Be mindful of the placement of your jars and containers – they should be close enough for a cohesive aesthetic, but far enough apart for guests to comfortably serve themselves. Don't forget to leave space for guests to place their self-serve candy cup while they remove the lid and indulge in their desired treats. Select the right size and style of glass jars and containers for your candy buffet. Tall jars with narrow openings can make it difficult for guests to scoop the candy, while smaller jars can be raised to a more comfortable height for serving. And for a high-end look, avoid using commercial wrapped candy unless it fits the theme of a nostalgic candy bar. When it comes to serving tools, choose wisely based on the type of candy they will handle. Scoops may not be the best option for picking up pretzels or gummy candies, while tongs may not be ideal for small, hard candies. And always ensure that the serving utensil is proportionate to the candy jar. Additionally, be cautious of using metal scoops in glass jars, as they can chip the rim and potentially contaminate the candy. Pro tip: Keep your scoops and self-serving containers small to prevent your candy buffet from being emptied in no time. To avoid any potential mess and to encourage moderation, opt for open self-serving cups instead of bags or closable boxes. Lastly, if you are having a summer wedding, be mindful of the heat and how it can affect candy. Try to schedule your event during a cooler time or provide a shady area for your candy buffet. And if you choose to include chocolate, be sure to select a heat-resistant option. By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure a visually stunning and enjoyable candy buffet for you and your guests on your special day.
