Do you have visions of sugar plums dancing in your head?

If so you're not alone. Like so many other wedding trends candy buffets are becoming more and more popular. The real challenge to producing a successful candy buffet is creating that "wow" factor for you and your guests. It is an investment just like your wedding cake and can be the most anticipated part of your wedding reception. when planned and well executed. So many brides make the mistake of ordering their candy using some strange math equation. Though 5 ounces of candy per guest may satisfy your sweet tooth it won't be very visually satisfying for you or your guests. My suggestion, stick with 5 different candies keeping them all within a chosen color palate or theme. Order 18 to 20 pounds. Yes, I did say 18 to 20 pounds of candy. Whether you think you need that much or not your biggest disappointment will be when your candy buffet was not substantial enough to create the presence you were expecting or did not withstand the first wave of guests. We at Grand Volute are here to help you create a one of a kind and memorable candy experience for both you and your guests. We supply you with everything from coordinating linens, containers, appropriate scoops, to the candies of your choice. Whether planning a seashore themed wedding with gummi fish, saltwater taffy, and chocolate seashells or staying with the old and familiar, we can find a candy that represents your style.
