    im worried, because i have seen some peoples buffets, that are not to my taste....i like the sqaushed together look as shown in the green photo recently posted on this thread.

    Ive got:
    one 40 cm tall vase
    two about 30cm that go in, in the middle then out again
    a square one
    a fish bowl
    one of the asda jars that are about £1.40 with the grey lid.
    ive got x50 bags and x2 scoops and x1 tongs.

    I think i need to get one more of the asda jars, and then a bowl and i recon im done?

    Im really panicing it will look empty or to spaced out....?

    I havent got the sweets yet, and i havent as yet put all the glasses together to see what they look like.. im also going to tie them with ribbon to match my theme...

  • what are you worried about? not having enough or that it wont look pretty??

    I can freely admit that mine was not as pretty as twinks, mine didnt match, didnt have nice tags etc but thats not the look i was going for...
    i didnt want to stick to my scheme colours and i wanted mismatched interesting glass ware, i didnt personally set up the table and there are a few things i would have done differently but in the end everybody LOVED it, raved about what a good idea it was and there were queues for the table several times,
    i had about 75 / 80 people at my wedding and as you can see ALL those sweets went and there were LOTS!

    no offence to sammy but i think if i had only had that many sweets not everybody would have got some, i had about 20 children at the wedding but the people who loved the idea the most were the adults, and i saw near enough everyone fill up a bag or two
    i think i wanted MORE!!! rather than pretty! lol

    I plan to go with these sweets, each one is a kilo

    Strawberry cables x2
    Pink & white mice
    Rhubarb & custard bonbons
    Normal strawberries
    Spin tops
    Fizzy bottles
    X50 Parma violets

    Totalling £47.24 inc delivery

    This is to fill:
    one 40 cm tall vase
    two about 30cm that go in, in the middle then out again
    a square one
    a fish bowl
    x2 of the Asda jars that are about £1.40 with the grey lid (I’m going to buy one more)

    a glass bowl / dish

    I might even buy one more and fill it with marshmallows, but I don’t want to have to many, but id rather have to many than not enough lol!
