Sweet Tooth?

Lolly Bars, Candy Bars, Lolly Buffets, Dessert Buffets... whatever your preferred name for them, they're a great addition to any special occasion. Be it a wedding, engagement, christening, baby shower, bridal shower, or birthday party, lolly buffets are a cute alternative to individual favours for your guests (or you can do both!) and you can have a lot of fun creating a visual feast for the eyes!

Below are some images to inspire you! The first few are courtesy of Party Perfect Orlando who specialise in events planning for bar and bat mitzvahs - not a common event here in Australia, but nonetheless, I found their photographs to be impressive and inspiring! Party Perfect Orlando also have a cute blog called Mitzvahlicious (I just LOVE the name of their blog - so cute!). There, you can download some fun signage in pdf format for your lolly buffet display... Remember Augustus Gloop from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? If you do, you might like these quirky signs thanks to the folks at Party Perfect Orlando!

I recently discovered the work of Amy Atlas and oh my goodness, her dessert tables are amazing! You simply must check out her website and blog. Here's a little taste of what you'll find there...

Finally, a big thank you to Wemsical Cupcakes for providing us with these pics of a lolly buffet created for a family member's kitchen tea! You too can get creative at home just like this, for your next event!

Enjoy!

Lolly Buffets

I'm a little fascinated with lolly buffets at the moment. I've come across a few brides recently who are intending to have these at their wedding receptions. Sometimes called a candy buffet, candy table, or dessert buffet, a decorated table of sweets is a cute alternative to traditional bomboniere for your wedding or any special event. Your guests can select their favourite goodies to take home. I'm even considering this idea for my upcoming 30th birthday :)
If you happen to have tried this concept for yourself and have any gorgeous photos of a lolly buffet, I'd love it if you'd share them with me. I need some inspiration and I'm thinking of doing a blog post with a collection of piccies, if you're willing to share!
Feel free to email info@veryspecialonline.com.au and I'll have a go at sharing as many as I can!
Until next time...

I'm loving our range of gorgeous frocks and cute suits for babies... perfect for christenings and weddings. We've just taken on a new supplier so there's even more to choose from than before!

Unique Wedding Cake Toppers

A couple of days ago I mentioned the work of Angela from Cowboys and Cupcakes. I thought I'd continue the theme by featuring these delightful little bride and groom wooden, hand-painted wedding cake toppers. Angela is supplying us with these little gems exclusively, so we're proud to say we're the only store in Australia with these particular creations! If you like the look of our in-store samples you can take a pair home, but the real fun in these is that you can order your cake toppers to reflect elements of your bridal gown, your groom's outfit, and your hair colour. These personalised products make wonderful keepsakes and are truly unique!

Expo Recovery

Well, we survived our first bridal expo! I've just spent the weekend at Brisbane's Ideal Bride and Formal Expo with the much valued help of my parents and husband! I'm exhausted but thrilled to have been involved. It was wonderful to meet so many brides and other wedding providers. These pictures show a small part of our display, including a new product for Very Special Celebrations - a fun wedding plate created by Angela of Cowboys and Cupcakes. These cute plates can be personalised with names and caricatures of the bride and groom, as an interesting wedding keepsake.

We have so many other new products in-store that I'm really excited about... more news to come!
