As I have been planning for the last few events, one trend has emerged...the candy buffet. Not only does the candy buffet take us back to childhood where we are standing in the candy store trying desperately to decide on the one candy that our parents will let us have, but it also is a beautiful centerpiece.
The variations of this popular trend are endless. It can be simple and include brightly colored candies or it can can be a chocolate bar. The jars can be decorated with ribbon and pictures or left plain.
You can also customize the containers your guests will take the candy away in. You can have small favor boxes, you can have little bags or you can simply put little bowls nearby...the possibilities are endless.
If you consider yourself a creative person, or even if you don't , this trend is great for everyone. It makes a great centerpiece, saving on floral costs. It makes it fun for adults and kids alike. It can be fun and whimsical or elegant and classy....
The best thing about the candy buffet is that you can customize it any way you want and it will look great!
So for your next event, consider the candy buffet. It adds a little fun, cuts down on floral costs and everyone will love it!

Cheap or Chic?
It's no news to any of us that the economy is impacting everyone and everything; this includes weddings. The days of grand ballrooms and extravagant food spreads have turned into quaint and intimate affairs.
While for some, this will seem like cutting back, for others it will make the occasion even more special, having only close friends and family near on their special day.
In 2010, I expect you will see a lot more backyard weddings with modest food and lots of fun! Having a small wedding in a place that is personal to you will allow you to get creative! When there are no rules to follow (like in some venues) you have the opportunity to design a day that will reflect you and your bride/groom.
You can make a backyard wedding an elegant affair, with white lights, lace and lilies or you can make it a casual wedding with BBQ, beer and a great band!
Just because you are not spending a lot on your wedding, doesn't mean it won't be perfect and memorable. If anything, having a small wedding really helps to showcase the bride and groom's personalities.
If you are planning a small, backyard style wedding, make it yours! Take things that reflect who you are and incorporate them into your special day. If you are "one of the boys", have a keg! If you are the life of the party, have a great band and a big dance floor! If you love fireworks, have a fireworks show! This is your special day!
Personalize, personalize, personalize!
