Sweetie Buffet.Table - Good Idea - Bad Idea

I've seen quite a few sweetie tables and i think they look sweet (sorry couldn't help it) even better if you choose sweet that match your colour theme ? x

Well my coloir scheme is Fushia Pink so pink sweeties will look sweet he he - couldnt resist

Im really excited about it, cant wait to start collectiong sweet - the trick is not to eat them before the wedding he he

Oooh i don't envy you with that one, i'd buy sweets i don't like just so i didn't eat them lol x

Personally I don't like the idea for a wedding. I'd say it's more suitable for an 18th or 21st birthday or a kids party, but not generally for a wedding.

Having said that, some of the shabby chic and tea party spreads have looked good and fitted well with the theme. So if you can make it look good and make it fit your theme then go for it, but personally I'd avoid these pic'n'mix people that do a supermarket stand thing - I think they look tacky!

I think they can look good, if done right. We aren't having one at our wedding but there are loads of ideas out there if that's what your thinking of Lots of people on hitched are having a 'sweetie' buffet table.

Many brides have done them here and they have been a hit, I personally dont like them as I am not interested in eating sweets at a wedding....I dont think booze n sweets go......

if it were nuts and bombay mix however, I'd be interested!

I'm having one, but I think there is very much a right way and a wrong way to do it.

The wrong way is any kind of way that looks like it belongs at a childrens party. Though there is nothing wrong with catering for children if like me you'll be having plenty at your wedding.

I was very much inspired by this image on my wedding photographers blog - http://www.photographybyriddell.co.uk/WeddingsBlog.htm

There is a great photo of a sweetie table there, just scroll down a bit.

We are taking this a step further and making it a real centrepiece, we plan to have lots of clever, conceled lighting that makes a real burst of colour. Then as well as sweets we'll also be adding lots of fruit (I have a number of diabetics on my side of the family) and we'l also have cakes on the table as well.

Like the photo in the blog and the one on this topic, we'll be using different sized and shaped vases and jars. The sweets will be chosen purely for translucency and vibrancy of colour, so when lit they should look stunning.

Teehee are you trying to start a new craze?! ?

We're having a sweet table so I guess it's a good thing we decided to cut back on the alcohol.

Not a bar on the premises AJ?? I dont think flumps go with bourbon but thats my personal taste and heaven forbid a flying saucer fell in a pint of lager, imagine the mess that could make?? lolol (think mentos and cola)

give me hot nuts any day.......

theres my 'nut buffet' lolololol....

with one of those.... mmmmmmmmmmmmm

We are planning on having one too. My h2b is a big kid when it comes to sweets so i've left him in charge of it! x

Ours went down an absolute treat!

the adults loved it more than the kids lol, everyone knows I am a big kid so there had to be sweets at my wedding
