1. Embrace the Pastel Rainbow

Colors for candy and other sweet treats span the entire rainbow. Embrace the trendy pastel rainbow palette as you decorate your venue. Maybe add a touch of unicorn themed decorations to create a truly magical affair!

2. Work With Nature

While it’s a great idea to incorporate actual treats into your decorations, you can fancy them up with real flowers. For instance, fill glass vases with waffle cones and top those off with your most colorful bouquets of flowers.

4. Have Some Treats To Go

Having jars filled with treats is a great way to add a colorful decoration and it makes for a great favor at the end of the event. When you’re writing out your shopping list for sweet treats, don’t just go for your top three desserts. Everyone has different tastes, so variety is key. Chocolate, fruity candy, fruit tarts or coconut macaroons–your guests will thank you.

Don’t forget the centerpiece dessert, cake! Get as creative as you can with lots of sprinkles and bright colors. Maybe even add an ice cream cone to the top to add a fun 3D effect.
