Im a bridemaid and am trying to help :)

My friend would like to find either blue, white or lavender colored candys that will help complete her provincial french feel to the candy bar/favors. She is planning on using mason jars that are tinted a light blue.
I have no idea where to start looking so any help would be awesome.

Thanks so much :)

    You can buy M&Ms in many colors on their website. I have also seen them in party supply stores, but you get more variety online.

    Jordan almonds. Even though I don't like them.  I second the M&M thing but they can be pretty expensive.

    Try looking at a bulk food store. Many of those stores have tons of candy in assorted flavors.

     My friend did light blue and white candies. She had jelly bellies, rock candy sticks, etc.

    Old fashioned candy sticks! I'm using them to attach my escort cards to and put in a sandbox. There are stores that sell them in bulk and you can get them in your colors.

    We did M&M's in our wedding colors (and bc both of our first names start with M). Like pp's have said, you can buy them online or in the stores. We bought most of ours in the little 7oz bags (and I had coupons) at either Michael's or Party City.

    We ended up underestimating what we needed, so we found a candy store (Fizzywigs or something like that) in our local mall, where we bought the remainder bc the stores were out of them. I can't remember how much they were a pound, but it is something I would definitely check into bc ordering through the M&M website is very expensive. I did all of the cost comparisons before we started buying them.

    I'd browse an on-line bulk candy store to get some ideas.

    I'd go to a bulk candy store, like bulk barn and see what they have.
