Popular Colour Schemes for Lolly Bars

At Tasteful Delights we have an abundance of Australian lollies and international products to choose from. When planning your candy buffet, consider the occasion and the surrounding décor to create something that will complement the ambience and overall event theme without taking over.

Celebrations and Kids Parties: Single colour lollies are ideal for colour themed events, but for kids’ parties you might like to get creative and mix different colours within the same container to create visual interest and vibrancy. M&M’s, Skittles, jubes and jelly beans are perfect for this.

Formal Events: Black and white is ideal for more formal events, and Darrell Lea liquorice, assorted chocolate bars, Allen’s Minties and black/white jellybeans are ideal for this purpose. If you want to enjoy a wider assortment and subtle pop of colour, you could add some other colourful lollies in separate containers.

Size and Placement

Bigger is not always better, and you don’t want your candy buffet to overwhelm the room. Carefully consider the nature of your event as well as the event space itself, then choose an appropriate sized table and start planning your layout.

You will also need to think about placement, and this will depend on whether you want to make an impact by having it as a centrepiece or keeping it relatively hidden which can be a welcome surprise for guests wandering around the venue. Once discovered, the candy buffet will be sure to draw a crowd and the line will quickly start to grow – so make sure the location you choose remains easily accessible for other guests.

Popular Choices of Lollies for Candy Buffet in Australia

When designing a candy buffet, you will need to keep three things in mind: Budget, Colour Choices and Taste Preferences. Try to ensure a good mix of shapes, sizes and textures to make a lasting impression and ensure every guest finds something to suit their taste.

Alternatively, you could make them into a centrepiece by making your own lollipop tree or purchasing a lollypop holder.
