candy buffet

We love all sorts of wedding cake alternatives — wedding pie, donuts, and of course… WEDDING CANDY BUFFETS! This is our collection of posts just about wedding candy buffets — but we also have another archive dedicated to candy in non-buffet form.

Kelly & Justin’s DIY vintage Halloween two-day wedding

These two like photobooths — so much so that the groom proposed in one. So what better photobooth opportunity could there be than a costume party? The ceremony was the night before the reception so the couple could go FULL-ON costume for the party. And let me tell you, it was worth it. A ring warming, candy buffet, awesome costumes, and a hint of vintage give us a lot to love in the Halloween week entry.

Abby & Robb’s big family handfasting Halloween wedding

It takes a village to make a budget wedding and this couple had good friends to help. Handfasting, broom jumping, a last-minute Home Depot tie, and a little Doctor Who geekery make for a damn good time. Don’t forget to check out the bridesmaid’s different bouquets too! Just another awesome notch on the Halloween week checklist.

Kerri & Chris’ trick-or-treat Halloween military wedding

A Halloween theme, zombie-themed live band, and a saber arch in one wedding? Hell yes. This rockin’ party had these influences and more, including pumpkin carving, a candy buffet, and real live trick-or-treaters busting in. Even though the bride almost didn’t get her dress in time due to a volcano(!), they still managed to host a kick-ass party, giving us another great wedding for Halloween week.

Jamie & Nick’s self-catered Halloween theater wedding

Fog machines rock until they set the fire alarm off. Thankfully this pair had a great attitude and helpful friends to help them pull of their Halloween-themed DIY party despite that little setback. And you’ll love their paper burning ceremony to rid them of all their skeletons in the closet. Halloween week rocks!
