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.

Erin & Ryan’s Northern Ireland roadtrip and homespun Appalachian handfasting

This pair likes to take the old proverb “you can’t have your cake and eat it, too” as both a personal challenge and an individual goal. Therefore, when they were planning their wedding and couldn’t decide between two drastically different affairs (a free-spirited private destination wedding adventure versus an intricately detailed small community backyard handfasting), they decided to have them both!

Star bouquets, ray guns, and a moon landing cake

Trish and Al took the Wayback Machine back to childhood for a wild day playing in the snow, posing with their wedding crew, and of course, getting married! Plus, who can resist a bride in glittery Converse, leg warmers, a cape, hot pink crinoline, and a star bouquet? The reception looked out of control with a space theme including robots, ray guns, astronauts and superheroes (and Doctor Who!) photo booth, and their hilarious moon landing cake. Like their favors said: “it was a blast!”

Nicole & Kyle’s punk rock and skulls wedding

These two heard a lot of ideas about what people thought their punk-themed wedding would be like… but they were all wrong. This shindig had all the awesome trappings of a punk-loving party: awesome bands (including one who shifted into an ’80s hair band!), The Misfits playing during the ceremony, and colorful skulls everywhere. But with a gorgeous and floofy pink gown and a classy venue, this was a total traditional-meets-punk mashup.
