When planning a sweet table, the goal is to enhance the theme of your wedding, not detract from it. For example, if you are having a very sleek and minimalist wedding in muted tones, you don’t want to have a lavish and brightly colored table dripping with candy necklaces and giant lollipops. If your wedding theme doesn’t fit the traditionally nostalgic sweet table, try a monochromatic presentation in white or one of your wedding colors.
Before you determine how many candies and pastries to buy for your sweet table, first decide what you want the layout to be. The goal should be a fairly symmetrical design. I love the look of glass jars in varying sizes and shapes. Remember, sweet tables are not necessarily a buffet for guests. You shouldn’t think in terms of how much each person will enjoy, but rather what will maximize your presentation. Above all, this is a chance to incorporate an extra dash of fun to your wedding reception.

Love the look, love the idea. My mind is running:)
What is the general rule as far as cost of a sweets table versus a wedding cake. It’s for our daughters wedding and we are trying to decide. she doesn’t feel it’s necessary to have a big cake so we are thinking of cookies, cupcakes and candies
We are planning on having a sweets table but where do you set it up. People only get called into the reception room when they are about to have the meal. Should it not be out during the post ceremony drinks reception or what the story.?
