Online Candy Store Candy Direct Offering Bulk Candy for Popular Wedding Displays

CHULA VISTA, CA, May 11 (MARKET WIRE) --
Wedding candy buffets and other edible arrangements are big trends for
weddings right now, and Candy Direct has responded with bulk candy
available in specific colors and shapes. Wedding planners are
incorporating candy stations and buffets as an edible extension of the
wedding theme and cake presentation. By shopping at Candy Direct,
planners and brides can easily find the specific colors, shapes, flavors
and candy types they're looking for using the Web site's intuitive search
features.

Candy buffets are hot right now, according to event planner Mary Bowerman,
owner of Mary's Elements, who purchases her bulk candy from Candy Direct.
She's planning an August wedding with a pear theme, for example, with
jars full of green and brown candies including pear-flavored jelly beans.
"Candy Direct makes it easy to shop for candy by color," said Bowerman.
"The bride can just go in and see what candies are available in the
colors for their wedding. Even if they just want to do three types of
candy rather than a whole buffet, we can arrange something fun and
festive with a small table of candies in bags or jars."

Everything from jelly beans to taffy to foil wrapped chocolates can be
used in these wedding candy displays. In addition to wedding planners,
bulk candy is being used as an edible design element by event planners,
corporate sponsors, hotels and convention services. Candy is selected by
specific colors or shapes such as stars, hearts, poker chips or coins as
party favors and table decorations for many special occasions.
