A Candy Themed Bridal Shower

I guess when your surname is Lauren, style comes as given, and when you own Dylan's Candy Bar, you don't need to think too hard about a theme. So, is this what you would expect from Ralph Lauren's daughter, Dylan?

The invitation
Welcome to the party!
A Lemon Drop cocktail?
Or ... a Bubble Gum cocktail?
* Candy shaped cards for guest messages
* and an over-sized vase to put them in
 * Caviar gems atop cracker rings
Savoury filled cones
Burgers!
And fries!
Who doesn't LOVE macaroni cheese?
* A chocolate disc with bride & groom on top of a cupcake
* Mini milkshakes served in shot glasses with pretty straws
and choc chip cookies
The shower cake - Dylan & Paul
Guests by the Candy Bar
* The Candy Bar from above
* Favours - Jelly Beans to take home

* Favours - Collect your own from the Candy Bar
* Another favour - candy necklaces, tucked into jewelry boxes.
The packaging makes it special

An elaborate bib necklace made from dragees is a candy
masterpiece too good to be eaten
* A crown-shaped form, covered with glittering hard candies,
A bouquet of sugar flowers  - don't you just love it?

If you notice the images where the caption has a * at the front, I don't think they would need to be done professionally, although you'd need to be quite 'crafty' . The other thing that really hit me what how effective the candy bar looked with shades of a colour. I'll look through my craft sites and see if I can find the basics and do another post with the links.

This shower was featured under Planning & Tools on the Martha Stewart website.
