Miss Labrador's Picture
Miss Labrador Retriever, Athens Age and Occupation: 24, Student/Soon to be Sports Reporter Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Physical Therapy Assistant Student/Future Dr. of PT Engagement Date: December 31, 2008 Wedding Date: November 2009 Venue: Whitfield Square/Savannah Station in Savannah, GA About Me: I'm working on my second degree from UGA (Go Dawgs!). I'm a self-proclaimed attention-w****. If it involves a camera, I'm in front of it! You'll never meet a girlier tomboy than me. I can go toe to toe with any guy on the subject of college football, and lift more than any girl in my gym, all without chipping a nail. I hope to someday be the only person you want delivering your sports news. My FI and I are the loving parents of three Labrador Retrievers (one of each color) and are planning a "Southern Romantic Charm" wedding in the beautiful, historic city of Savannah. I'm not extreme in anything except moderation... and wedding planning.
About Miss Labrador

I love candy. I have a huge sweet tooth.

But a diet high in sugar doesn’t exactly have a place in pre-wedding body preparation. So I’ve decided to put a light at the end of the wedding fitness tunnel in the form of a candy buffet at our reception! I get to have this night to splurge, so I’m not going to feel guilty about it at all.

One of Mr. Lab’s classmates heard about my candy buffet plan and offered to lend me the jars she used at her wedding! That’s a big check off my “purchases” list. She showed me a picture of the jars and they’re absolutely gorgeous! Thanks Daphne! Here they are at her wedding:

Now I have to decide whether to do a monochromatic theme or variety of colors with the candy.

Adding It Up: Green Candy

March 14th, 2009 @ 1:50 pm by Miss Stiletto

I’ve already posted about the black and white candies I’ve found as possibilities for our candy buffet. I ended up at around $135.50 for 33 pounds of candy and 12 suckers (not factoring in shipping costs). I was also able to find many different flavors, from licorice to blackberry to dark chocolate. But of course, what would our candy buffet be like without great pops of green?

Adding It Up: Black & White Candy

March 3rd, 2009 @ 5:42 pm by Miss Stiletto

Oh, candy buffet - how often I think about you! Stressing about the containers and decor on the table is one thing, but what about the sweet stuff? Since we’re sticking with black, white, and green on the table, there will probably be a decent amount of black candy. Which, of course, tends to be licorice-flavored… not a favorite of many people, including this bride.

To top it all off, candy, of course, is expensive! Candy Warehouse has a wide variety of bulk candy that you can sort through by color, and their shipping rates seem to be pretty reasonable. I’ve also found a few things on Metro Candy & Nut, who advertises 10% off your first order. Their selection isn’t the best, but I’m always a sucker for a deal.

Black & White Cookies

February 26th, 2009 @ 3:50 pm by Miss Stiletto


I’ve been trying to think of different things I can add to our candy buffet for the wedding that will have a “wow factor” without being crazy expensive. Mr. S and I used to share big black and white cookies from a local ’yuppy’ grocery store in our old neighborhood. It was always a great treat and an easy way for one of us to surprise the other. We’d share the cookie, each biting directly down the middle to get the best of both worlds.Back in November I played around with making mini black and whites.

About Miss Stiletto

We’ve been planning to do a candy buffet as our favor since we got engaged. I’ve been approaching it with mixed feelings these days. For starters, candy is expensive. I’m really, truly trying to push that thought from my mind until I have to worry about it this summer. But beyond the cost, I’ve found that it’s hard to do a candy buffet and make it look great! If you don’t give a lot of thought to texture, colors, containers, and varying the heights, your buffet may fall flat.

Fortunately, Flickr has a Candy Buffet Photo Pool, so you can search through example after example with ease. To make the execution of this favor even more accessible, I’ve decided to break it off piece by piece. Let’s start with signage, take away containers, and texture.

Candy Buffet Take Away Containers

I’ve seen different boxes and bags for guests to fill up with candy. Chinese-style takeout boxes are popular, but I have no desire to have a stack of these just asking to be knocked over! The most functional (and affordable) option I’ve seen are bags that coffee is normally stored in, complete with the twist tie top.

Custom Candy Buffet Treats

October 29th, 2008 @ 3:44 pm by Mrs. Spring Roll

As previously mentioned, Mr. Spring Roll and I will have a candy buffet at our wedding. I love candy (with the exception of those gross peanut butter taffies in the notorious orange and black wrappers). While the majority of the candy will be simple, we want to throw in a few customized items. Here are a few of my favorite customized candy ideas:

The Sweetest Addition

October 7th, 2008 @ 4:15 pm by Mrs. Pineapple

When I was a very little girl, my parents used to take all of our Easter candy and put it above the freezer so they could ration how much we ate at a time. Well, there was no fooling me. I would sit in front of the freezer with my arms outstretched making sure no one could get to my candy stash.

I never out grew my obsession for sweet treats, and growing up sometimes my mom and I would sneak off to the mall and hit the candy store instead of the food court for lunch. (In case you are wondering, no she didn’t win “Mother of the Year” that year. I am pretty sure with all this wedding help 2008 is going to be her year though.)

Last week Mom Pineapple and I were at the local greasy spoon eating french fries and ice cream for dinner. It was a couple days after my Sweetest Day post, and we were talking about the funny holiday and about Mom and Dad Pineapple being married on Flag Day. I said “if ever there was a excuse to have a candy buffet, Sweetest Day would be it.” Mom Pineapple put down her spoonful of turtle sundae and said “Wait. What is a candy buffet?” Her eyes got huge as I described a table full of colorful candy and what has to be one of the biggest bridal trends in recent years.

A Sweet Sneak Peek

October 2nd, 2008 @ 9:33 am by Mrs. Shortcake

Perhaps I’ve been spoiling you guys with too many details of our big day, or perhaps you haven’t had your fill of Shortcake quite yet… in either case, I’ve decided to keep some aspects of our wedding semi-secret. :) However, as anyone close to me will attest, I am SOOOOOO bad at keeping (my own) surprises - so maybe I’ll just share some eensy weensy little snippets of our favors. Can you guess what the tag and label theme is?

Under The Boardwalk

April 23rd, 2008 @ 12:54 pm by Mrs. Petunia

To be frank, the connection between our candy table and our Monopoly theme went over some of our guests’ heads (I blame myself entirely for not coming up with a more clever sign for the table). Nevertheless, the candy itself wasn’t overlooked, and in my book, that made it a hit regardless.
