Our First Guest Blog with Alera of One White Dress! : Take Me to the Candy
Hello, lovelies! We're very excited here today to introduce you to Alera Kingham, of One White Dress. This is her first monthly guest blog for Vermont Vows and WellWed and we're thrilled to share her in depth wedding knowledge with all of you! Read about Alera's thoughts on wedding day candy bars after the jump.
2. Presentation, presentation, presentation: The very best candy tables are presented with a little flair and plenty of preparation. Take your time prowling for interesting glass jars, vases, bottles and serving dishes to showcase your chosen confections. Varying heights is important to ensure your table looks inviting and exciting and don't forget spoons and scoops too. For added punch make sure you label each treat... A cute hanging tag on each jar or a sign in coordinating colors is a great option.
3. It's in the Bag: Make sure you provide a portable container or bag for guests to laden with their chosen candy to take home. It could be as inexpensive as a clear cello bag or as deluxe as a rattan basket for each and every guest. Some will pick and nibble throughout the evening whereas providing a take-away option is always a crowd-pleaser.
4. A trip down Memory Lane: Research candies popular in past decades and treat guests young and old to a trip back in time. Your grandma would adore seeing those nostalgic treats such as Caramel Cubes and Licorice Bites and your high school best friends will really get a kick out of seeing Skittles and Sherbet on the menu.
