Candy & Dessert Buffet

I'm crazy about candy.

And everybody Loves desserts.   

That's why I think having the Candy & Dessert Buffet at parties make it extra special. 

 They are amazing to look at, and give your party a beautiful theme & focal point that says, 

" Wow, This IS a Celebration!"

Creating this look is easy when you can rent the glassware, vintage touches
even the venue from Make it Special!

Mint green was the Bride's Favorite color and set the theme with other retro candies.

Guests can help themselves to 

the gorgeous candies & treats that double as party favors.

Add some twinkling lights, honeycombs, garlands or bunting and you've got a party

Using a color palette that is different shades of just one color creates an elegant look 

perfect for baby showers & birthdays

Holiday themed candies & desserts

I enjoy collecting and ordering all the different kinds of candies for a look or theme.  Deciding which size apothecary jars and how many to use depends on the space or your budget.  Then arranging them in a pleasing presentation with the addition of a few vintage touches makes for an interesting and sweet vignette to be the focal point of the party.

Halloween Theme Weddings & Parties

I absolutely Love Halloween!

Last Halloween, I styled this spooky  fireplace mantle display at a venue downtown for a Halloween themed wedding using all these nifty vintage items available for rent from Make it Special.

 It was the focal point for their theme and the backdrop for their ceremony.

You may kiss!

On October 31st, we have a party and hang out on the veranda watching the Trick or Treaters, handing out candy and maybe giving some a spooky scare.

The old house on the hill is really spooky.
