I LOVE outdoor parties and events! Therefore, I try to set up most of my tables outdoors (in our backyard). Since we live in Arizona, the weather for outdoor gatherings and table setup is simply perfect (at least for 6 months).

However, if you do not wish to set up your table outdoors, you can still design and create a similar setup indoors using these easy tips!

I think it’s a great idea if you can set up your candy station or dessert buffet outdoors! Not only will you have more space to work with, but the outdoor setting will provide an ideal backdrop to your colorful treats.

It also gives your guests an opportunity to enjoy the fresh air while they indulge in sweet treats. Plus, the natural light will be perfect for taking beautiful photos of your setup.

When planning an outdoor candy table, make sure to choose a location that is sheltered from wind and rain and has plenty of seating options.

And don’t forget to provide some shade if it’s hot out! I always bring a few extra umbrellas out when I set my tables in the summertime! With some creative planning and attention to detail, you can create a unique and memorable candy table experience for both you and your guests.

#2: Select the Right Candies

When selecting the right candies for your table, you’ll want to consider both the aesthetics and the flavors. Popular pink and gold candy options include pink cake pops, rock candy sticks, gumballs, and gummy bears.

You can also mix in some other colorful treats such as jellybeans or chocolate-covered pretzels for a more eclectic look. No matter what type of candy you choose, make sure that it’s fresh and of good quality.

That way, your guests will enjoy it all the more! If you’re not sure what kind of candy to get, it’s always best to talk to a local confectioner who can help you find the perfect combination for your table.

I personally prefer to choose only one shade for all the candies (pink) as a base color. Then, add gold or rose gold accessories to my table (like gold serving trays, bowls, dishes, jars, etc…). Some people prefer to have both colors of candies (pink and gold) on their candy tables. This is a completely personal choice!

This will give your guests something extra to look at while they indulge in sweet treats! Not only will it be visually pleasing, but it will also add a luxurious feel to your space.

Additionally, you could add elements such as pom-poms, tassels, ruffles, or other textured items to the table for an extra touch of glamour.
