3 Candy Bar Alternatives for Your Wedding

Lollipops, sour sticks, gummy bears, and chocolate drops—you can probably guess why the candy bar has become a staple of wedding planning. Everyone loves candy! But watch out—the ever-popular candy table now has some competition. Here are 3 candy bar alternatives for your wedding.

Summer Vibes at the Ice Cream Bar

Chocolate hearts and gummy snakes aren’t exactly the best idea when it’s 30 degrees in the shade. The alternative? An ice cream truck with a built-in cooler! Toppings like sprinkles, marshmallows, and heart-shaped chocolate and caramel pieces are sure to make more than just kids’ hearts race.

If you prefer a healthier option and want to avoid the risk of stains on shirts and dresses, set up a fruit bar. Pineapple, melon, and grapes can also be arranged beautifully: as a fruit tower, portioned into cups, or skewered—this colorful corner with fresh fruit is a crowd-pleaser, especially on hot days.

Donuts on the Wall

Just as sweet as a regular candy bar, but definitely a real eye-catcher: the donut wall! Just place a quick order with your favorite yellow-and-blue Swedish store, and you’re all set: All you need is a large particleboard panel and simple brackets that you attach to the board at regular intervals. Order as many different and colorful donuts as possible and hang them on the board on your big day. Not only delicious, but also super stylish!

Drinks with Style

Not everyone likes things overly sweet—and especially after a wedding cake, you might find yourself craving something more tart or mild. A whiskey bar is perfect for this! Of course, you can also add other drinks—like brandy, gin, or beer. The table will look especially stylish if you decorate everything in muted colors and incorporate wooden elements (such as a wooden chest or chalkboards) along with chic vintage glasses. Cheers!
