Let them eat cake...and other delicious snacks!

Wedding themes are constantly evolving. From the glitz and glamour of the perfect Cinderella storybook day to a rustic outdoor jeans and boots affair, weddings can take on unique and individual flares. In getting away from the traditional events of yesteryear, wedding receptions have also taken on a new flare of their own: SNACKS. It started many years ago with the do-it-yourself candy bars (which are still crazy popular today) and has turned into themed snack bars more elaborate than the cake and punch you thought you were getting. How about this popcorn bar for inspiration? Perfect for an outdoor wedding. Works great with a country, or circus like theme. Did someone say CIRCUS? This candy bar fits perfectly with a old-fashioned circus themed wedding, or summer event. Guests of all ages will enjoy loading up a goodie bag for the day after! photo by Andrea Sproxton Photography Everyone loves ice cream, right? Even if you choose to have a traditional cake, nothing goes better with cake than ice cream. Make it a party with a build your own sundae bar. Serve up a variety of flavors and toppings! The kids will really thank you for this one. Holiday wedding? No problem. There is always great candy and holiday-centric treats available. For Halloween weddings you know you can load up on bulk candy and have the perfect themed bar! Love the interactive "do-it-yourself" idea? Try hosting a s'mores bar. This a perfect way to allow guests to interact with each other. Everyone loves a good campfire story! With so many great ideas out there, how will you ever choose? Try to go with a theme or treat that matches your personalities but also the weather, and overall feel of the wedding. Just remember, no matter what treat you choose for your guests, make it a sweet day they will never forget!     Sources: http://www.pnpflowersinc.com/2011/10/styling-rustic-popcorn-bar.html http://blog.hwtm.com/2012/06/pub-style-grillers-growlers-party-smores-bar/
