sweetie/candy bar? mismatched jars?

Hi Miss Winter, we are also planning on a DIY Sweetie Bar. Whilst i've not got any jars as yet, When i've looked up sweetie buffet images on google they all look to me like they are different sized jars so that is what we're going for. the Range do nice Giant Martini glass / Brandy glasses for approx £6-8 ....let me know if you find any good, cheap containers.

Where are you getting the bags/tongs from?

Bags.....i've forgotten the site but it was brown paper bags with sayings on them. going for scoops from either confetti or amazon.

i don't mind size differences but some of our jars are patterned (were given some by friends but not enough) and it's a pattern which i can't find anywhere. my mother is looking at buying a few jars with the horizontal ribbing on them, so a second pattern, we have one totally plain jar and looking into two over sized glasses...... so. many. patterns

Oh patterned jars....i'd not thought of that. We were going for plain glass....oooh....would you mind keeping me up to date with how you get on? We aren't getting married till December but want to start getting things as we see them.

I'm going mismatch with styles and sizes. Got some cute ones from tk max the other day with a heart design on :-)

I seem to buy jars in pairs, bit OCD like that...

I'd like it to be symmetrical so don't mind it all not matching but long as the other sides the same haha. Seen lots like that on pinterest and like the look of it so it'll be differenct sized jars, martini glasses, larger vase types and got some love heart shaped red bowls too. Also have a couple of cake stands for muffins and different cakes / doughnuts etc.

Not exactly like this but hoping for it to be almost as nice

I can certainly keep you up-to date. we're probably going to sell ours post wedding infact so that might help you?

anyone got any flash-able pics? really struggling with visualisation :/

It certainly would help, thank you. My Personal email address is ******.******@*****.***.

Don't know if i'm supposed to pass out my email address....but hey ho.

I'd never thought of looking in TK Maxx......fabulous idea!

Totally diying it with a mish mash of jars and bowls xxx

Winter bride 14 I'll probably be putting some jars up.Too after my April.wedding but try places like dunelm and pound stretcher xx

I've been buying jars/vases for a little while in places like IKEA, Ebay and Sainsbury's

I'm not having a sweetie bar but I did see some nice, quite big jars in Home Bargains yesterday at a really good price if anyone is interested.

I saw some nice coloured sweetie jars in bnm homestores for a few pounds and matalan had some very large ones for 5 pounds

Doing a totally DIY table for our wedding which is one month today!!

Need to get a few more jars but all will be different sizes thjough the same on each side... hopefully

We are also using cream cupcake stands on each side and me and my mum are hoping to make tiny tray bakes to pop on them or else get mini cupcakes from a local bakery

no idea what it will look like until i assemble them on our kitchen table and wont see it until the wedding as the hotel are assembling it for us.

got scoops and bags on amazon loads of jars in B&M and ikea

We aren't having a sweet table but I think having mis matched jars, different sizes, shapes etc would look great!

I dont think Ive ever seen one that were NOT mixed and matched. But this one even had the sweets match the colour scheme
