Not interested in having flowers as centerpieces at your wedding reception? Many couples today are decorating with their tabletops with containers of candy, perfect if you or your groom are known for having a sweet tooth and want to keep a casual feeling at your reception.
Here are some ideas for your candy centerpieces:
- Select candy in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. At her recent wedding, Khloe Kardashian used gummy bears, ring pops, candy necklaces, M&M’s and Hershey’s chocolate bars.
- Use clear glass containers that show off the contents.
- For visual interest, vary the width and height of the containers.
- Besides traditional glass jars and bowls, try filling old-fashion milkshake and soda glasses, martini glasses, and water goblets.
- Provide small scoops so people don’t have to use their hands.
If you want candy but not as centerpieces, have a candy buffet. Set a table full of jars or bowls of candy and provide small cellophane bags for guests to fill with the candies of their choice.
