Wedding Blog
Hi everyone!
First we had bugs, then flowers, then fruits and veggies. Now we’re happy to announce that our next batch of characters is…. candy!
Why candy you ask? Candy buffets are a wedding trend that’s been going strong for a couple years now and they show no sign of slowing down. Plus they’ll make such cute weddingbee characters! 
We have a whopping 9 bees getting married in June and July - Miss Bell Pepper, Pumpkin, Bluebell, Plum, Tomato, Raspberry, Hibiscus, Pearl, Lemon. We’ll miss them all, but we need to add new bees like crazy now.
Miss Lovebug and I have come up with the following candy characters so far:
What would you add to this list? (Keep in mind, it can’t be anything copyrighted, which eliminates a lot of possibilities.)

Chocolate!!!! Or Chocolate bar maybe!? Something chocolate for sure!!!! 
we’re trying to stick to candy, because we might do a separate batch on sweets - honey, chocolate, cupcake, etc.
Hahaha, Miss Kiss? Miss pixie stix? Miss Pez? I think Miss Gumball would be better than Bubble Gum, to be honest. Rock Candy? Wax Lips? Cinnamon? Marshmallow?
Oic, ok…next time! I got worried about my chocolate friend being left out! Ha! Thanks!
Kisses or almond jordans,
Kisses or almond jordans,
What about Miss Bon Bon?
juicy fruit (I think it’s actually gum, but thought it’d be a cute Bee name)
This reminds me of my favorite game as a kid - Candyland! How about lifesavers?
fruit drops
truffles! yum!
Oooh! How about Miss Smartie? Miss Dot?
How about Miss Candy Corn for someone getting married in October? Too cute!
we can’t use anything that has a copyright like lifesavers, hershey’s kiss, etc.
conversation hearts are cute too but the name is too long and not cute.
and miss lovebug suggested miss lemon drop, but we didn’t want people to get that confused with miss lemon.
Does Miss Marshmallow count? Is Marshmallow a type of candy?
I forgot one! Miss Horehound! Anyone?….hello…?
Love the cotton candy and candy corn suggestion - they would look so cute as icons. How about butterscotch? Would breath mint be too weird? Yogurt covered Raisins? or something with cinnamon like a Red Hot?
How about Miss Sour Patch Kid?
Or Miss Red Hot–great idea Red!
Me, I’d be Miss Butterfinger(s)–LOL, such a klutz!
How about rock candy? Or jolly ranchers? Or conversation hearts (the necco hearts) for someone getting married in February?
yeah definitely gotta have miss candy corn
What about Miss Sweet Tart? I love how it could represent two conflicting parts of a bride’s personality.
Or Miss Nerds…ha!
Toffee and Cinnamon Heart! And seriously if you use Miss Smartie (although I’m guessing you can’t due to copyright) then you HAVE to let me be the Miss Smartie bee… my surname is Smart and Miss Smartie has been my nickname since forever!
Miss Buttermint
Sprinkles, Nonpareil, ganache, Sours, truffles, Almond bar, Toffee, pop rocks, pixie sticks, caramelcorn, penny candy, starlight mints
There is actually a candy calendar here: http://www.candyusa.org/Classroom/calendar.asp
How about batches of birds (Miss Sparrow, Miss Nightengale) baked goods (Miss Cookie, Miss Tapioca, Miss Parfait) or nuts (Miss Pecan, Miss Hazelnut)?
love cotton candy, candy corn, and marshmallow! horehound would make for some pretty good jokes….. miss lovebug is hilarious.
gumball, mints, butterscotch, Sour Powers (not sure if they’re copyrighted)
I third Miss Horehound!
Candie Corn
i say miss toffee nut—that has a nice ring to it, no? haha
another good one is miss cotton candy~
I’m lovin Miss Butterscotch. And Mr. Lovebug just chimed in Miss Peanut Brittle.
Miss Fudge
Miss strawberry cream
Miss Cinnamon bear
I comment as Miss Popcorn, so please don’t use it
Salt Water Taffy? Or just plain Taffy?
Doh…I guess my suggestions would be copyrighted. I vote for Miss Butterscotch! Too cute!
miss nutty fudge.
Has anyone else had that candy-like snack with cereal coated in peanutbutter, chocotale, and powdered sugar? I don’t know if there’s a nation-wide name for it, but in the Carolinas we call it “white trash” or “puppy chow.” It’s a great candy, but the names I know aren’t that great.
I second Miss Praline. We southern girls need representation!
Ms. Ribbon Candy?? Ms. Taffy??
maybe for this new batch of bees you could have certain requirements so that there is more diversity on the site. i.e., a bride incorporating african-american traditions such as jumping the broom, a jewish bride (or a bride having a traditional jewish ceremony), a south asian bride having a traditional hindu ceremony, or even a bride hosting a traditional christian/catholic ceremony. i love weddingbee as a resource for wedding ideas, but i also view it as a place to learn about the wedding traditions of other cultures. it seems all the focus is on chinese/korean/vietnamese/japanese traditions. there are 22 asian bees on the site, and while they are all quality bloggers who have shared a wealth of information and knowledge that could work for any bride, i think this site could serve it readers better if there was a bit more diversity. just something to think about. keep up the good work!!!
spearmint, circus peanut, cinnamon disks, peppermint patty, conversation hearts, gummy worms, candy kiss, buttermint
mrs. bee you forgot miss poppy! she’s getting marry in june/july too. so that’s a whooping TEN bees getting married
mee!! i’ll address your points in a separate post.
and pohdoh - miss poppy actually decided to retire because she was really busy, but we told her she’d be welcome to blog anytime she liked.
toffee, turtles, mints, Swedish fish, fudge, caramel, nougat, peanut brittle, wax bottles, rock candy, honey sesame (there must be a Chinese name?), circus peanuts, rootbeer barrels, jawbreaker…
gumdrop is good. bubble gum would be kind of weird- would it be a pink ball or bubble? jelly bean has possibilities, though it’s kind of ambiguous. Candy cane and peppermint are both good, although of course, they’re both the same color scheme. licorice is ok. Lollipop sounds good. And a gummi bear would be cute. Caramel and taffy are kinda like bubble gum- they’re kind of ambiguous.
I think candy is a great idea. They all sound so cute!
Sarah — hilarious!
I have to vote for Ms. Praline and Ms. Butterscotch. Those are two of my favs suggested here!

Personally, I like SaltWater Taffy better than just plain ol’ taffy! You could also use lemon drop, peppermint patty, sweet n tart. How about Miss Licorice?
Whomever gets to be (or would that be whoever?) Miss Bubblegum, Lollipop, Gumdrop, or Jellybean is a lucky gal! Love this new batch of names!
aww i wish i had a wedding blog just so i could be one of the candy bees…that’s such a cute idea! i can’t wait to see what the cartoons look like.
BUTTERSCOTCH! anything with butter sounds cute.. like buttercup!
