Candy tables are becoming more popular at weddings. You can add candy displays to your dessert offerings inexpensively or substitute a decorative candy table for the traditional cake. You can also add your own style to a candy table with relatively little effort at a price you’re comfortable with.
View these examples to get you started. They range from simple to extravagant in a wide variety of styles. Pick out your favorites and then adapt them to the theme and feel of your wedding.
Most candy tables display the confections in clear jars or bowls so that the colorful candy can provide part of the decoration. You can use Mason jars, clear vases, or display bowls. Use variously sized jars and color coordinate the candy for the most stylish appeal. Gather glass containers around your home or purchase them cheaply from thrift or bargain stores.

Homemade paper crafts add a unique charm to party tables. You can use paper or tissue paper to craft creative decorative pieces and embellishments, such as pinwheel or floral decorations for the table. Decorate your jars with tissue paper wrapping or tag the dishes with handmade labels in the shape of hearts or bride and grooms.

Along with your glass display dishes, continue the romantic theme of the wedding with letter-shaped bowls. Fill them with candy and arrange them with a simple word or spell out the couple’s joint last name. The initials of the bride and groom or “Mr and Mrs” are also cute ideas.

Add floral décor to your candy table to incorporate it into your theme or accentuate the colors of the candy. Use real or paper flowers, depending on your style. Place flowers in vintage or rustic style vases and pots for unique charm. Mason jars, decorative tea tins, garden pails, and antique vases are all contenders.
