However in saying that, money isn't always an issue for all, so I will reccomend the company as there customer service was exceptional, and they provided me with a lot of information when I asked for it, and also weren't pushy when I had to decline for financial reasons. http://www.candybuffet.com.au/ They have some amazing displays, which I am going to try and replicate on my own.
Step 1 I headed off to do some shopping for some jars, stop one was Kmart, I got 5 jars for $2 each! Thats $10 and I almost have as many jars in the above pictures. Then next stop was the local op shops where I found another 5 jars for $8. So thats the jars done for less than $20, great for the budget concious.
Step 2, wash them all in mums dishwasher haha! To give them an extra shine, and to add a bit of pizazz I will be tying some ribbon around each jar. Additionally with an engagement voucher I was able to find a stunning frame which I will be using as the Candy Bar sign! 15m of ribbon off eBay was $5 free postage from China, so far we are totally at $23, already better than the $3k quoted I must say.
Step 3, I will be using the provided table cloths at the reception venue to save some money, and also I have asked the venue to ensure that the candy is topped up as required.
Lastly I will be off to by the lollies, which I won't do until 3-4 weeks before the wedding. I plan on spending $100 on bulk lollies, I have already started researching online wholesalers and getting quotes from local companies. But for arguments sake, lets say I spend $200 on lollies, that brings us to a total of $223 a lot less than the quoted amount! I have added a picture below of the style I am going for, but think yellows and ivories for the lolly colours.
