Weddings are a celebration of love, joy, and making memories. What better way to add a touch of sweetness to your special day than with a delightful array of treats? Sweets and chocolates not only bring smiles but also bring a sense of nostalgia and fun, making your celebration even more enjoyable for guests of all ages!
Incorporating sweets into your wedding offers a versatile and charming way to delight everyone in attendance. It can also be a cost-effective way to add another memorable aspect to your big day. From candy buffets to sweet wedding favours, or even a themed dessert table, sweets can enhance the ambience and provide a unique experience that oozes charm and is guaranteed to spread smiles.
This is the first question that will spring to mind for most people, and there isn’t an exact answer. Determining the right quantity of sweets depends on your guest count and how you plan to serve them. A general guideline is to have around 100g of sweets per guest. So, as an example, with 100 guests, you'd need approximately 10kg of sweets. It's always better to have a little extra to ensure everyone gets their fill – and perhaps some leftovers for you to enjoy!
Top tip: if you plan to decant sweets into containers or gift boxes, then pick n mix is the way to go! We have a huge range of bulk bags ranging from 3kg, whilst Pick n Mix Station’s 1kg bags are a brilliant way to get more variety.
Choosing the right sweets can add a personal touch to your wedding. Here are some popular options:
Retro Sweets: Bon bons, foam bananas, and other nostalgic treats evoke fond memories and are always crowd-pleasers.
Foiled Chocolates: Elegant and versatile, these can match your wedding colours, serve as delightful favours, and also contribute decoratively.
Swizzels Love Hearts: With sweet messages, these classics are an easy option that adds a romantic touch and are perfect for spreading the love.
Mints and Chewing Gum: Ideal for refreshing after the meal and into the night.
Of course, it is your day, so you can make the rules. Mixing and matching, where it suits your theme, will add even more cheer and character to proceedings because, let’s face it, who’s going to turn their nose up at another sweet treat?!
Presentation plays a significant role in making your sweets stand out. Consider these ideas:
Candy Buffets: Use jars, bowls, or even tiered cake stands to create an inviting-yet-accessible display for guests to help themselves at a dedicated sweet station!
Personalised Favour Boxes: Fill them with your chosen sweets and add magic with custom labels and ribbons to match your theme.
Themed Arrangements: Align your sweet selections with your wedding colours and motifs for a cohesive look. Whether part of your table decorations or spread throughout the venue, this can elevate the décor.

If you're setting up a pick n mix station, providing tongs (or scoops) and bags elevates the experience for guests and also maintains hygiene. Guests will enjoy picking their favourite mix, and having the relevant pick n mix accessories will help make it a seamless affair.
Inclusivity is key to ensuring all your guests feel considered. At Wholesale Sweets, we offer a wide range of sweets catering to various dietary needs that include vegan, vegetarian and halal sweets alongside sugar- and gelatine-free selections. Exploring our diet-specific sweets is the best way to offer suitable options for all of your wedding guests that don't compromise on taste or quality.
One of the advantages of a candy buffet is its self-serve nature. You may want to assign someone to check that it stays topped up later on in the day, but aside from that, a candy buffet runs itself.
At Wholesale Sweets, we’re passionate about helping you create magical moments with the perfect finishing touches. Our extensive selection includes everything from retro favourites to elegant, foiled chocolates, ensuring there’s something to suit every theme and taste. We offer the benefits of bulk buying the very best sweets without needing to be a business, so you can get great value on the biggest brands. With no minimum spend and reliable delivery direct to your door, you can trust us for your wedding sweets, whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a lavish affair.
