The Perfect Sweets Bar
Well, just in time for the sweetest holiday around!
Whether you’re getting married or throwing your own little Valentine’s party, today I want to share with you my tips for the perfect Sweets Bar.
The Perfect Sweets Bar Should have the following:
2. Theme
3. Pretty Food Labels
4. Proper Signage
5. Candy (of course)
6. Candy Scoops
7. Pretty Containers
Color Concept: For my color concept, I choose white and neutrals since the overall wedding was clean, and modern and my client’s colors were white, ivory, and navy. I did use an accent color of silver and navy in my signage.
Theme: The overall them I decided to go with was clean and modern!
Food Labels: I’m a sucker for a pretty food label for several reasons, it makes your entire Sweets Bar cohesive. It indicates to your guests what you are serving…with all of the food allergies out there this day in age you can never be too careful! Plus it just makes your Sweets bar that much prettier, wouldn’t you agree?!
Proper Signage: Put a large sign up, like I’ve done on the wall or on an easel to direct your guest as to..”Hey, “Look what’s going on over here!” We surely wouldn’t want them to miss out on the Sweets Bar and the small investment that went towards this!
Candy : I choose a variety of white, neutral and silver accented candy. When placing the candy since I was using a square table I wanted a symmetrical look. I choose like containers to use on both sides of the table to keep my balance.
Candy Scoops: I used candy scoops (click the link) They have the perfect little silver scoops that come like 5-10 to a pack! Trust me you don’t want people’s dirty hands picking up the candy. Gross…
Pretty Containers: Last and most importantly, choose pretty containers to place your candy in! I went for a mix of glass apothecary jars and flat silver trays to add height and variety to the table. Think able and plan ahead of time what candy is going where. The type of candy will and should determine what type of glassware you use.
What are your favorite sweets?! Have you thought about incorporating them in your wedding or next holiday party?
