Having trouble picking the perfect color combination for your upcoming wedding? The table below includes popular wedding color choices for the upcoming seasons:

The colors you choose for your event set the style and tone for your entire wedding day. Color can be highlighted in your bridesmaids’ dresses, decorations, flowers, invitations, cake, and even grooms’ outfits.

Choose colors that have meaning to you, but also consider the following:

1. Where is the wedding and reception located? Choose colors that complement both settings. Consider the carpeting, furniture, decorations, etc. for all event locations.
2. What mood do you want to create? Vibrant colors can add drama and flair, while soft or muted colors evoke a more light and romantic atmosphere.
3. What time of year is your wedding day? Seasons or even specific days may influence your color scheme. Spring and summer colors tend to be lighter and less dramatic, while fall and winter colors are generally darker. The placement of holidays may also influence the colors you choose!

Whatever colors you choose for your big day, remember not to get TOO hung up on this detail. Go with colors you like that will complement your event, but don’t go overboard. Try to limit your main colors to two or three so as not to look too “busy,” and once the colors have been chosen, stay consistent.

Why are candy buffets so popular these days?

It’s simple—candy buffets serve as an inexpensive party favor and provide a “wow” factor for the guests.

When it comes to candy buffets, it’s all about the nostalgia. Two people are joining as one to enter into adulthood together. The candy buffet allows couples to reconnect to fond memories of childhood by choosing treats and candies they enjoyed when young.  Candy is powerfully reminiscent, drawing the bride, groom, parents, and guests together around feel-good food and memories.

Buffets can also accent the reception or event by providing a fun opportunity for color coordination. For example, if the wedding colors are red and yellow, each candy variety can be easily matched to one of the wedding colors and tie in the overall theme. No candy buffet is ever the same—they are easily tweaked to fit the personality, tastes, and theme of each couple.

Candy buffets are big hits at events like weddings, birthdays, baby showers, and other celebrations. The possibilities are endless when it comes to this current and extremely “sweet” wedding trend.
