Candy Buffet Brides

Hi everyone!

For any brides that did a candy buffet - I wanted to ask a few questions:

- Where did you find the best deals on candy?

- When was the candy set up in the RH? Did they bring it out at the end, or was it there the entire time?

TIA!

We purchased most of our candy online from metrocandy.com or from BJs. Originally, JT wanted to wheel the candy buffet out during dessert but I asked if we'd be able to have it out the whole time. They worked with me and we found a spot to have it set up the whole time. I have more info in my review though!

We bought most of it at 'Economy Candy' in Manhattan. It's on Rivington Street - downtown. It has many types of the old-fashion candy. It's a very small store, but has many different types and the prices were very good.

I provided all the bowls & scoopers and the Swan Club set it up for us towards the end of the reception. There are pictures in my review!

Sweet City Candy---you get 10% your first (and probably only) order on this site. It came very quickly and they were very easy to deal with.

We borrowed the jars and scoops from a friend that owned them. So that cost was zero.

We purchased 50 pounds of candy for our 180 guests--had more than enough. Paid about $150 through Sweet City Candy.

Candy bags cost about $30.

We did this extremely low budget...it can definitely cost a lot more!
