Lollipop Stand and Candy Buffets

Sister 1, who was a DOC for her best friend's little sister's wedding, swears by cupcakes and a candy bar. She said the hit of the night were the cupcakes and the candies, and that the guests couldn't help themselves the minute they entered the reception! While we will probably have the cupcakes, I'm still uncertain about the candy bar because of the cost and set-up.

But how cute is this lollipop stand?? It looks relatively easy to make (tutorial here) and really dresses up the lollipops. Cheree Berry designed these for her ADORABLE wedding. Omigoodness, so adorable! I'm excited because red is our dominant color and it's nice to see it "in action".

While we're on the topic of candy buffets, did anyone see this amazing candy buffet on Weddingbee by reader msBlossom?

Seriously amazing. I would have gone NUTS if I was at her wedding and saw this spread of sugary goodness.
