Last night, my family & I went out for crabs in celebration of my momma's birthday! So what if it was only February...only the best meal for the best mother :-) While we were eating, one of the waitresses had taken over a table in the back of the restaurant and was creating all sorts of goodies for a baby shower. Her ideas were not only adorable and creative but also very affordable! I instantly started thinking about the next big event my family will be hosting...my baby brother's high school graduation! One thing led to another...and images of a "blue and yellow" themed candy station popped into my head. Something along these lines:
Ever since I discovered who Amy Atlas was, I have been in love with the idea of candy stations for parties! They are fun, eye-catching & delicious. Are you getting inspired? You can bet I will probably be showcasing one of these at my wedding...and possibly every other big event I host. So when my mom & I visited Hobby Lobby the other night, I was instantly drawn to these items:
Candy stations are a great way to add that pop factor to your event. They are the perfect accent to your decor & let's face it...who doesn't like a sweet treat? Sure, you could spend a fortune having an event planner create a table for you...or you could have fun making one yourself! Showcase an assortment of goodies that are all a shade of your favorite color or that go along with a theme and get jiggy with it:
Go Green!
Bold & Bright
Carnival Creation
Now this is where it's at...
I saw your post on 20SB. I recently went to a wedding with a great candy station (looked a lot like the first picture with the blue candy). Everyone loved it!
ReplyDeleteyummmm i love the candy station idea. i have this dream that i will force one of my future children to have a willy wonka themed party...just so i could have an amazing candy station. horrible parenting tactics aside...how cool would the pedestal jar vase be with a colorful cocktail inside?! YUM!
ReplyDeleteOhhh I l-o-v-e that idea! I dig the willy wonka themed party...but since I'm far away from having kids, maybe an adult version for now ;-) I can only imagine the shenanigans that will ensue....
ReplyDeleteLOVE the idea of a candy station!! cheaper than flowers and also more modern/youthful!!
ReplyDeleteCandy Stations are such a great idea. One of my best girlfriends got married a year ago and had one for her wedding. It was so cute and had a winter theme to it. They also had chocolate bars with special "Joey and Erin" wrappers for the place settings. Adorable <3
ReplyDeleteYou're so girly, I LOVE IT! :)
