Candy Color

Here are some Do’s and Don’ts about color coordination that will make your candy buffet POP at your event!

1.       Do coordinate your candy buffet colors with your season. 

a.       Example: If it is a fall event opt for more earth tones for the buffet, such as brown, orange, maybe a dark green in there.

b.        If it is a spring event you should go with more pastels.

c.       A winter event should have “icy” colors such as light blue, silvers, and crème’s.

d.      And last, an event held in the summer should have more tropical colors.

2.        Do select your candy buffet colors based on your event theme.  If you are having a very formal setting, bright vibrant colors might not be suitable.  If you are having a luau, bright and vibrant would be perfect! 

3.       Do, if you’re having a wedding, plan an all-white theme.  This approach can be easier and less time-consuming than finding your individual colors.

4.       Do pick your colors based on the color theme for the wedding or event.  This can be hard to do, as not all colors look the same as they do in the pictures, however if you have the time and ability to do the research, then this can be the added “sweet!” factor your party needs!

5.       Do not just have chocolate or matte colored candies. It will end up looking flavorless and dull. 

6.       Do not, for a very formal affair, have all bright colorful lollipops and crazy wild candies.  The guests are expecting the candy to match the event.  If you have a kids birthday party for example, you could definitely create a colorful and purposely mismatched display and it would be appropriate for the event!  This is not to say that you cannot have “fun” candies at your event, just make sure the color scheme is taken into consideration.
