Buy Candy Jars Online for Your Next Event

The dessert tables at weddings and events have evolved over the years. It used to be that these tables were just a place to serve elegant and traditional wedding cakes. Nowadays, though, some brides and grooms are dispensing with tradition and putting their own twist on the dessert table.

While many weddings still feature the traditional wedding cake, it's also become common to see various assorted bite-sized desserts as well—from cookies to cupcakes to chocolate truffles and beyond. Some weddings—and other events as well—even have candy jars on the dessert tables, filled to the brim with the bride and groom's favourite candies.

Add Presentation to Your Dessert Table Designs, with Candy Jars Online from Holstens

At Holstens Pty Ltd, we offer a place for wedding venues and event halls to buy candy jars online, precisely for this kind of innovative dessert table set up. Our philosophy is this: with the right presentation, a jar of candies can look every bit as elegant on an event party dessert table as individual plates bearing wedding cake.

From colourful gumdrops and candy-coated chocolates to toffees or chocolates wrapped in shimmering metallic foil, candy can add a splash of youthful colour to the dessert table. Achieving this unique and flattering look all depends on the container in which you choose to serve these candies.

The first reaction may be to just put the candy in a bowl (or in several bowls) so that guests can grab pieces easily as they go by. The problem with this set up is that candy in a bowl screams 'Halloween party.' As such, unless your venue is holding a late October party with an All Hallows Eve theme, this kind of arrangement might not be optimal. You can at least bet that most brides and grooms will want something a bit more elegant.

The natural solution is glass candy jars. These elements are decorative in and of themselves and can show off the colour and aesthetic charm of the candy itself without pulling away from the classy feel of the event.
