Top 10 reasons to hire Day Dreams for your Candy Buffet

10) Hiring a professional ensures candy prices at wholesale & therefore more candy for your money.

9) Jars!!! Sure you can go ahead and purchase 10-12 glass apothecary jars at roughly twenty- thirty dollars a piece but what are you going to do with them after? Professionals have a large selection of jars to choose from at no extra cost.

8) Storage: bulk candy must be ordered in advance and without knowledge of proper storage in warmer months the candy can spoil.

7) Color Scheme/Arrangement: Day Dreams can help add beautiful complementary colors to any theme.

6) Experience/Creativity: Day Dreams has the experience to add many extra touches that will make your candy buffet unique. Extra ribbons, scoops, branches, prop pops and novelty items are always with us on location. We take the time to make sure everything is perfect from start to finish with plenty of extras with no extra fee.

5) No set up/no clean up/no worries: Throwing an event is stressful enough especially a wedding. Why add extra worry for yourself or a family member when you can hire a Professional to take care of everything. We set up and will be back to clean up everything so all you and your guests have to do is enjoy!

4 & 3) This is a big one !!! Accidents happen: Jars break, candy melts, venues forget to set up the table, items are forgotten! Day Dreams always has back up jars, candy & the quick thinking that comes only with experience. We ensure that by the time your guests arrive things will be perfect.

2)Time: Candy buffets require a great deal of time to plan & execute. Sure it sounds easy enough: get some candy & put it in jars but it is so much more. It takes planning to match colors, get jars, scoops, order candy, treat bags, labels, ribbons, packing, setting up, cleaning up and lets not forget all the extra touches that will make your event one to remember.

1) Money !!! Yes, hiring Day Dreams to create your candy buffet will actually save you money. Not only will you have no stress and worry when it comes to ordering candy, buying jars, treat bags, scoops you also wont have to order 100+ favors. Candy buffets are loved by all guests. So skip the desert table & the favors. The Candy buffet is your favor and we guarantee it will be something you always remember.

2011

As 2011 comes to a close Day Dreams would like to say thank you to all our clients who made it a great year. It was so much fun creating candy displays for each and every one of your sweet occasions.I am still a firm believer that things happen for a reason and I viewed every job as a learning experience that helped pushed me to be better and better. I also want to thank everyone who has shown support. You may not think that liking a photo, making a comment on our fb page or recommending us to a friend is much but it does not go unnoticed. The support of family and friends means a great deal to me.With Christmas just around the corner I find myself looking forward to a new year filled with many new ideas. We have some wonderful opportunities coming at us and the creative juices are flowing. Check back with us in 2012... we have only just begun! Happy Holidays ~ Leighann @ DD

It's beginning to look a lot like Kiss-mass

Day Dreams has been working on new products available for the holidays. We took some time to think of a few candy treats that would be great gifts for those "I have no clue what to get" people on your list. Every year I find myself running out last minute to grab a so-so last minute gift for the teachers, neighbors, hostess.... This year we came up with some very cute and affordable gifts that would fit for just about anyone you might find on your last minute list. A candy display that is both decorative & edible sure beats that same old, same old candle or cookie tray that costs double the price. Check out pictures on our facebook page and then contact us to order one of our Merry Moose & Pals custom candy gifts for just $15.95. Stock is limited so order fast.

Top 10 Favorite Halloween Candy

I am very happy to say that Halloween is quickly approaching. I am a true summer girl but there is something about the crisp fall air, the comfy warm clothes and smell of apple pie.It makes me feel alive. As a child I always enjoyed Halloween and as an adult things haven't changed much. I always look forward to coming up with a new costume idea and feeling like a kid again with all my friends. Okay I admit I also always look forward to the left over candy bowl from all the adorable trick or treaters. When it comes to handing out candy to all the neighborhood children (being a self proclaimed candy queen) I feel it is my duty to try and top all the neighbors. Everyone remembers that house that would hand out the king size candy bars, right ? How could you forget ! Here is a list of my top ten favorite treats to get on Halloween. Hope everyone has a happy & safe October 31st ~ Leighann @ Day Dreams
