Candy bar

rebekahss

For our wedding I was hoping to do all black and white, but was then informed that it would be a little to plain. I began thinking and came up with the idea of a candy bar...since he and I have 9 neices and nephews between the 2 of us, all of which are to be in our wedding. So all of the color would come from the candy and flowers...too much? not enough? Does any one have any ideas?

Sounds great.  You can really do whatever you want.  Black and white is so classic, it won't be plain.  You can do just black and white or add in one or two colors, whatever you like.  There are no rules here.

People really, REALLY do not care about your colors. They are there to watch you get married, then eat and drink and party afterward. If you want to use black and white, use it. If you want to incorporate a color, do it. If you want to offer candy, offer it. Really. You're overestimating just how much people give a darn about the little details. As long as you treat them nicely and feed, seat and entertain them, they will not care about the rest. They're there to celebrate with you, not criticize your decor choices.

Name the complete color palettes of the last five weddings you attended.  Make that the last five weddings you attended BEFORE you got engaged.  No peeking.Can't do it?  Yeah.  Guests won't notice.  Promise.

I'm doing an all white candy buffet and my mock up turned out beautiful (PIB).  I wanted an elegant candy buffet to match my formal wedding.  I think black and white would look great.  But like PP said, no one cares--they're just going to eat the candy.

I know the guests wont care...its me that does, and I cant for the life on me decide on any colors...the FI doesnt care...but just for the kids i thought the candy would be fun...and now I just have no idea! =[ But Stephie if yours came out well can I be nosy and ask what cand you used? =]

It's in my bio.  Coconut and french vanilla jelly beans, yogurt pretzels, champagne bubbles, french mints and jordan almonds.  Go to Candywarehouse.com and you can search candy by color.  That's not the best website to actually buy the candy though--too expensive.  I used Metrocandy.com.  I think black and white would look great!

My colors were black and green, so we made the whole candy buffet that-but also added some silver (hershey kisses) and stuff like that since the green candy mostly had to be ordered and was more expensive. If you don't care about doing one or two colors, you may come out spending less.  Places like Sam's Club were the best price wise, but for me didn't have much of what I wanted to match those colors. It turned out really neat though so I'm glad we did it.  People loved it.  Pix in my wedding bio below!
