AART Event Planning's Fall Inspiration: Candy Buffets

Happy Friday!! It's so gloomy out so we were wondering what should the last fall inspiration of the week be? We thought of bridesmaids dresses, but there were so many we loved by so many designers that we could do a whole weeks worth of just that! So we decided to end the week with a popular wedding tradition that doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon: Candy Buffets!

Candy Buffets are great. Almost everyone has a sweet tooth and they can double as a favor!

Yes, we love candy buffets but what we love even more....dessert bars! They make for a great send off for your guests or a nice addition to your dessert for the evening. Always super fun and a great surprise for your guests!

Whatever you decide, AART Event Planning can help! Give us a call for your complimentary consultation and check out our candy buffets too!

AART Event Planning's Fall Inspiration: Cakes

We've come to the most delicious of the inspirations: cake!! There are so many wonderful ideas out there it was so hard to narrow it down! We hope you like what we picked out.

We start off with the very elegant of the selections. It's the classic look with the addition of beautiful fall colored flowers. Very sophisticated.

Who doesn't love chocolate??!! Why not try chocolate fondant or buttercream icing with fall touches? A cake to make every chocolate lover envious!

These next cakes are so creative. Tree bark textured! Our favorite is the last picture. LOVE!

And of course last but not least, the risk taking cakes. The pictures speak for themselves.

And to give credit where credit is due: we found many of these amazing cakes on the following sites:

Pink Cake Box

Wild Cakes

The Knot

Is your mouth watering like us! I think we need to go get some dessert now lol. We would love to see what cake you chose for your wedding. Post pictures in our comment section!

XOXO,

AART Event Planning's Fall Inspiration: Favors

Favors are a big wedding decision and can be just as stressful as finding your dress! Do you do something edible? Do you go with the traditional wine toppers? Or do you "forgo" the wedding favors and go with a donation to the charity of your choice (personally one of our favorites). We've compiled some ideas for you and hope you find something that inspires you for your wedding day!

Edible favors are great and not to mention yummy! Some favorites: caramelized apples, pumpkin seeds and the very popular cake pops!

Another great idea, candles. Everyone loves candles and you know your guests will get more than one use out of them.

Colored leaves are the essence of fall. We love this box with the paper leaf attached and the leaf candy dish that we actually own!

 I know we started off with some edible favors and now we want to end with some unique ones (we love saving the best for last!). Think marmalades, flavored butter and maple syrup!

XOXO,

AART Event Planning's Fall Inspiration: Bouquets

One of a brides top accessory is her bouquet. There are so many styles you can do nowadays: simple clutch, a cascade look or even the use of non flowers. Any bouquet is gorgeous especially in the colors of fall. Below are some of our favorites.

Red and orange make perfect fall colors for your bouquet. Adding berries and leaves make the perfect touch to a fall bouquet.

Sunflowers are bright and beautiful and make for a lovely fall bouquet. 

We love all of the reds, oranges and yellows but who said you had to have just those colors for fall? Fall is all about the jewel tones and greens and purples are gorgeous! And of course adding peacock feathers, (my favorite!) incorporate those gorgeous colors and make a stunning bouquet.

We love it when brides think outside of the box and a unique bouquet is no different. Who says your bouquet has to be made of flowers? These apple and brooch bouquets are to die for!!!

We hope you have found some inspiration in these bouquets. Did you have a fall wedding? We'd love to see pictures of your wedding bouquet. Just comment below!

XOXO,
