Since opening CandyShopBuffets this year, I have interacted with a lot of brides who have questions about what kind of candies to choose for their weddings.
The primary candy that every bride wants is ....can you guess?? Chocolate :) I love chocolate myself and had a lot of it in my own candy buffet in the middle of July! However, there are a few things you need to remember whether you are doing your own candy buffet or hiring a professional to do it for you.
1. Outdoors or Indoors?
Middle of July would seem, to most people, a horrible time to have chocolate as part of your candy buffet. An indoor reception though can make it really easy to keep the chocolates cool. If you have an outdoor reception anywhere between the months of May-August I would recommend getting hard candies, and wrapped candies. Remember though, that even hard candies tend to get "sticky" when left out in the heat.
2. Order ahead of time!
One of the biggest charges with shipping candy and candy quality is expedited shipping and ice bags for your candy during the summer months. Most candy stays good for at least 6 months after you purchase it. I would recommend calling your candy buffet planner earlier than later and discussing early ordering of candy. If your wedding is in July, you can order your candy in March or April to maintain freshness and to combat the heat!
3. Matching colors
Make sure your candies match your colors. If you do not want to go this route, have a "fun" looking theme, such as lollipops, and swirly colorful candies! Candy Buffets are expensive, there is no doubt about that, so you do not want it to fall flat. The guest will appreciate wacky and crazy candy as well as color-coordinating themes on your day.
