Downtown Wedding Show

2012-01-07T10:46:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, we participated in a bridal show at the Kentucky International Convention Center put on by the Louisville Wedding Network (which we are a proud member of)! The next bridal show that we will be participating in will be on February 6 at the Frazier History Museum. We were inspired by a vintage photo that incorporated pink, gold, aqua, silver and white. Here's what we came up with!

Baby Boy Buffet!

2011-08-08T22:03:00.001-07:00

This buffet was for a baby shower at a home in Louisville, Kentucky to welcome baby boy Kendahl. There was an animal them along with the colors blue and brown. We used a whimsical combination of prints with blue gingham and giraffe. (Oh, how we love when our clients give us a theme and tell us to just be creative, it's so much fun!). Of course the mother-to-be got to keep the custom sign! The buffet included animal crackers, chocolate covered raisins, chocolate covered almonds, blue raspberry rock candy, Airheads, Gummi Bears, blue raspberry gummi rings, Dove bars, Lindt truffles, taffy and candy coated chocolate.

Black, Pink, White and BLING!

2011-07-27T21:37:00.000-07:00

We spoke with the event designers for this wedding, Fleur de Lis Events (who do FABULOUS work) to make this buffet flow with the rest of the decor. We did pink and white candy on a black damask linen. Some of the candies included Laffy Taffy, chocolate balls, Sixlets, yogurt pretzels, Jordan almonds, Hershey kisses and strawberry puffs. We found some awesome pink rhinestone ribbon to decorate a couple containers with. We also used clear rhinestones to add that extra bling! This buffet went so well with the newly decorated Woodhaven Country Club, it reminded us a lot of Z Gallerie.

Bride and Groom Favorites!

2011-07-17T15:20:00.000-07:00

For this buffet at the Henry Clay it was important to the bride and groom to have all of their favorites represented. The wedding colors were shades of purple so with a whimsical, multi-colored buffet we chose to use polka dot and stripe purple as a backdrop. The buffet included Whirly Pops, chocolate covered pretzels, Swedish Fish, Peanut M&M's, Plain M&M's, Lemonheads, Reese cups, Snickers, Hershey Kisses, and peach and pear Jelly Bellies. We debuted our new Whirly Pop stand at this wedding!

Plum and Apple Green Buffet!

2011-07-11T10:50:00.000-07:00

Tissue Flowers With Blow Pop Centers!

2011-07-10T20:39:00.000-07:00

For this buffet at Huber's Orchard & Winery (in Plantation Hall) we used a pink, purple and red color scheme. The bride also gave us the opportunity to make our first candy toss bouquet! We created tissue flowers with candy centers and used flowers suckers to create a bouquet that would be light enough to toss. We liked the concept so much that we used it as inspiration for the rest of the buffet, which the couple wanted to have whimsical feel with candy options that kids would love (see the giant Pixie Stix?).

Stock the bar... with candy!

Sugar or Snow?

2010-11-30T19:03:00.001-08:00

This buffet was created for the after party for the 2010 Snow Ball Gala, Snow on Ice, at the Louisville Marriott Downtown. We created a buffet that had a modern chic feeling to go with the decor. Of course we loved getting to focus on the snow theme-all white candy, an icy chandelier and a bed of snow-a candy winter wonderland!

Inspired by a peacock feather!

Spooktacular Halloween Buffet!

2010-10-30T16:22:00.000-07:00

We were very excited about the opportunity to do this creepy, fun Halloween buffet for 350 people! The buffet included gummy eyeballs, a marshmallow brain and heart, gummy worms, Reese cups, gummy skulls, candy corn salt water taffy, skull licorice, lollipops, chocolate and orange drizzled pretzels, Monster Mash Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, harvest candy corn, creepy gummy specimen candy in jars and some good old fashioned trick-or-treat candy like Dubble Bubble gum, Lemonheads, Smarties and candy bars! Talk about a ton of candy!!

Out-of-Town Guests Love Candy Too!

2010-10-30T16:15:00.000-07:00

These are some 'Welcome to Louisville' gift bags we made for wedding this weekend with lots of out-of-town guests. The bags included a specialty Kentucky Derby-themed chocolate from a local candy shop, bottles of water, granola bars, pretzels and some trick-or-treat candy since it is Halloween weekend! We also inluded a "Louisville Firsts and Fun Facts" info sheet for the guests to learn a little about our great town. Inquire for pricing on hotel welcome bags!

2010-10-22T07:29:00.000-07:00

This buffet was created for a wedding at Spindletop Hall in Lexington, Kentucky. The bride wanted to have some English touches to celebrate her groom's English heritage. So we did a little research and added Aero bars and English cookies, Biscoff and Digestives, to the buffet. There was also a Shakespeare theme with all of the written items involved in the wedding-table numbers, programs, etc., so the labels we created reflected that, "Sweets to the Sweet."

Zach's Mark on the World Buffet

2010-10-19T19:12:00.000-07:00

This buffet was for a Bar Mitzvah at Standard Country Club. There was a graffiti theme and everything was very white and modern with lots of LED lighting, so we were excited to do something different to tie in with this theme. We used all of the client's favorite candies in modern containers and placed them on (our new!) clear, frosted risers which we used multi-colored LED lights to illuminate. At night, when the room was dark, the buffet glowed!

Custom Candy Favors

2010-10-10T11:42:00.001-07:00

For a client who was looking to keep it cute and simple, we did these custom rock candy swizzle stick favors in lime and grape with monogramed labels. We can also do white or milk chocolate-covered pretzels, malted milk balls, Jordan almonds - any type of candy you would like. Inquire for individually packaged favor pricing!

A little bit country...

2010-08-29T11:42:00.001-07:00

This wedding we did this past weekend at the Frazier Museum had adorable touches. The bride and groom wanted it to have a retro-country feel. We took this theme and created a buffet that was our take on an retro, country candy store. It was complete with burlap, gingham and galvanized pails. We did a little research to find out years that certain candies were invented and used a lot of those including swizzle sticks, Red Vines, Circus Peanuts, unicorn pops, saltwater taffy, NECCO Wafers, M&M's, gummy bears and more. We had a ton of fun coming up with the design for this one.

More about the wedding... the centerpieces included blue glass mason jars with yellow flowers by In Bloom Again, the meal started with a fried green tomato salad by Masterson's, the cake was very simple with raffia wrapped around each layer by Mert's, the whimsical letterpress invitations and other paper items were created by Hound Dog Press, Jessie Kriech-Higdon caught the evening in what we are sure will be amazing photos, and all of this was perfectly orchestrated by Carol Grisanti, Carol Grisanti Weddings. We would classify the soiree as country chic!

Pretty Pastels

2010-05-23T20:10:00.001-07:00

This wedding reception at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center in Louisville, Kentucky had a soft and romantic feel. The florist used mercury glass filled with light green hydrangeas and pink peonies (gorgeous!), so our candy buffet fit right in! This display included champagne bubbles, Jordan almonds, strawberry Whoppers, sixlets, grapefruit slices, 7 UP Jelly Bellies, Hershey Kisses, meringues, taffy and Sour Patch apples. Pastel perfection!

The Illumination Derby Ball!

2010-04-30T23:05:00.000-07:00

The Illumination Derby Ball is the only Kentucky Derby event that is designated for teens. It is hosted by the Steward's Staff (www.stewardstaff.org), so we used this organization's colors in the buffet. And, of course, because the word illumination is in the title, how could we not illuminate the candy? The glass platform appeared to be floating on light! We took this opportunity to create a modern display that we thought teenagers would enjoy. We hope everyone had a delicious Derby!

Orange Inspiration!

2010-04-23T16:06:00.001-07:00

We created this orange and silver candy buffet for an after tax season party. Hopefully all of the goodies contributed to a fun and memorable event for the employees of Monroe Shine, a Louisville firm of CPAs. We were inspired by the logo of the company and used oranges and a mirrored centerpiece. The buffet included Reese cups, orange gummy slices, peach rings, York peppermint patties, Hershey Kisses, Dove peanut butter chocolates, gumballs and orange Whirly Pops.

A Bright Sunshiney Day Buffet!

2010-04-15T12:08:00.000-07:00

Welcome Spring! This bright and colorful buffet was created for a women's luncheon in Louisville on April 16, 2010. Our client just wanted a colorful buffet to go with her colorful house, so we created a garden themed display! The candy included Hershey Kisses, Lemonheads, Starburst, gumballs, assorted taffy, orange slices, Laffy Taffy, lemon jelly slices, sour gummy worms, butterfly shaped gummies, rock candy and lollipops. Our favorite part of this buffet had to be the little flower shaped suckers that we had 'growing' out of our green grass flower pot. We completed the buffet with sparkly butterflies and polka dot ribbon. It's going to be a sweet spring!!

Spring Blue & Green!

2010-04-10T11:09:00.000-07:00

Thanks to David Blair Photography for the beautiful photos! http://www.davidblairphotography.com/

Congratulations to Bela and Geof whose beautiful spring wedding is at the Louisville Marriott Downtown today! Apple green, navy and light blue were their colors, which made for a fresh and pretty buffet! We did balls of meringues atop vases of green apples for the buffet's centerpiece. Some of the candies included jelly lime slices, light blue Sixlets, apple gum balls, blue raspberry gummies, key lime chocolate balls, lollipops, sour apple straws, blue raspberry Haribo gummies and cookies and cream Hershey Kisses - yum! It's definitely a beautiful day to get married!

Rich Jewel Tones!

2010-03-20T14:08:00.001-07:00

Rich, chocolately and delicious were the themes for Ashely and Daniel's jewel-toned candy buffet for their wedding reception at the beautiful Culbertson West in New Albany, Indiana. The buffet featured lime rock candy, chocolate covered almonds and raisins, various chocolate cookies including mint stuffed Oreos (yum!), sour apple straws, chocolate-covered pretzels, apple gum balls, apple gummy bears, green M&Ms and Twizzlers - the bride and groom's favorite!

Purple, Green & Chocolate Buffet!

2010-03-17T14:42:00.001-07:00

Thank you to Monarch Photography for the beautiful photos. www.monarch-photography.com

Purple, green and chocolate were the theme for this elegant buffet we did on February 20th for Emily & Richelin's wedding reception. The buffet included chocolate covered almonds and raisins, grape salt water taffy, key lime choclate balls, assorted chocolate cookies, green appple gum balls, sour apple straws and grape rock candy. We created a fun floral centerpiece to match the reception decor (we like to pretend to be florists every once in while) which included some bright green ostrich feathers and silver branches.

Young Survivors Benefit and Silent Auction 2010

2010-02-27T12:48:00.001-08:00

The Kentucky Candy Buffet Co. was excited to be a part of helping a great cause this weekend - The Young Survivors Group, a part of the Norton Healthcare Foundation. A friend of ours is a young breast cancer survivor is one of the founding members of this organization which provides special programming for breast cancer survivors age 40 and younger in the Greater Louisville Area. We donated a candy buffet for their annual fundraiser and asked guests to make a donation for a bag of sweet treats! We did a pink and white buffet topped with a fluffy, pink breast cancer ribbon made of feathers. The buffet included pink and white salt water taffey, white chocolate pretzels, watermelon sour balls, strawberry gummy bears, pink gumballs, pink and white lollipops and pink grapfruit slices. All was sitting atop a sea of pink satin and tulle. The donation jar was looking pretty full by the end of the night, which was very exciting! Thanks to everyone who attended the event!

Pretty in Pink!

2010-02-15T06:39:00.000-08:00

Two of the cutest little twin girls ever turned 5 on Valentine's Day weekend and we created a buffet for their party! The party was for 50 guests; friends and family and our client requested that it reflect Valentine's Day. We took this opportunity to make a very girly display in their home with pink satin linen topped with feather boas and pink trees to hang candy bracelets from. We were sure to incorporate some sparkly hearts into the display. We used some of the girls' favorite candies-M&M's, bubble gum, and licorice. We also included caramel Hershey kisses, pink iced cookies, strawberry Milk Duds, candy hearts, giant Pixy Sticks, Starburst, and Blow Pops. The pink cookie stand even lights up, turns and sings 'Happy Birthday!' We had a lot of fun putting together what we think looked like any little girl's dream!

The Brown Hotel's Bridal Experience

2010-01-29T20:53:00.000-08:00

The Brown Hotel Bridal Experience was a fabulous bridal show! We were able to talk to so many brides who shared our love of all things sweet! We created a whimsical pink and green display with giant faux-lollipops as the centerpiece for one display. It felt a little bit like Candyland! For the other display we decided to create an elegant arrangement. We used purple and white candy and the jars were accented with light aqua pearl beads. The white chocolate covered Oreos smelled so delicious! All of the vendors at the show had a great presence, with beautiful displays-great night!

So Fresh and So Green!

2010-01-08T11:18:00.000-08:00

Despite the snow on the ground outside, we loaded up some four wheel drive SUVs and made our way to St. Matthews Baptist Church to do this buffet for 200 for the Festival of Young Preachers 2010 Reception. The event's colors were chartreuse green and red. We didn't want to buffet to look Christmasy so we stuck to mostly greens and whites with a few red accents. We incorporated a topiary made of marshmallows along with some grass and flower pots to give the buffet more of a garden feel than a holiday feel. We used white chocolate pretzels, key lime chocolate balls, green apple sour straws, gummy apple rings, vanilla salt water taffy, meringue puffs, lime green Sixlets, lollipops made of marshmallow, watermelon rock candy and even some white candy crosses!

Ho Ho Ho!

2009-12-17T09:25:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays from the Kentucky Candy Buffet Company! We did this candy buffet for the Camp Taylor Fire Department's Christmas party on Saturday, December 12th for about 70 guests. The theme was a Christmas winter wonderland complete with Christmas trees made of spearmint drops, peppermints and cinnamon discs and topped with crystals. We added some snow flakes and festive Christmas plaid linens, too. The candy included lollipops, giant candy canes, red and green wreath sugar cookies, red and green Sour Patch Kids, strawberry Pull n Peel Twizzlers, Hot Tamales, red and green M & M's, shiny red packaged Kit-Kat bars, red and green Cadbury malted chocolate balls, cinnamon discs, red and green wrapped peppermint patties, peppermints and spearmint gum drops.

Kristin & Jason - Chocolate & White

Thanks to Rosemary and Jonathan Brown of Monarch Photography for the photos!

www.monarch-photography.com

This is a buffet we did on October 10th for 225 guests at the Frazier International History Museum. Kristin's colors for her reception were chocolate and ivory with red accents in her floral arrangements. We did all chocolate and ivory candies and incorporated the touch of red with the customized labels on the bags and jars. Their candy included gourmet chocolate cookies, chocolate-covered raisins, Haribo white grapefruit slices, vanilla salt water taffy, chocolate candy sticks, chocolate-dipped pretzels, chocolate-covered almonds and white gumballs. We also did a tall vase full of silver curly willow branches dripping with crystals and strings of white rock candy as the buffet's centerpiece. If the line at the buffet was any indication, it was a hit!

Sarah & Chris - Romantic Purple

2009-10-28T19:51:00.000-07:00

Thanks to Robert Burge for the beautiful photos!

This is a buffet we did on October 9th for 150 guests at Kyes II in Jeffersonville, IN. Sarah and Chris's reception was soft and romantic with different shades of purples and whites with ivory and blush floral accents. We wanted their buffet to have the same, soft romatic feel. We did all purple candies including grape jelly fruit slices, grape candy sticks, salt water taffy, rock candy, Whirly Pop lollipops, purple fruit twists, purple gumballs and purple and white candy corn (a fun fall find!). The purple tulle and crystal accents on the jars added a fun, whimsical feel to the monochromatic display.

Charise & Ryan - Rustic Autumn Buffet

2009-10-28T17:16:00.000-07:00

This was for a small wedding for 60 we did on October 3, 2010. Charise and Ryan's wedding reception was in an adorable, rustic cabin. Charise picked our deep reds and corals and her main colors but also wanted to incorporate some fall decor to go along with the rustic locale. We did gold Reese Cups, apple cider candy corn, chocolate-covered raisens, red Twizzler bites, peach rings and fall-colored Hershey Kisses. We used some raffia, maple leaves and fall, crystal berries on brown vines to accent the colorful fall buffet.

Tiffany & Thomas - Purple & Green Whimsy
