3 Sweet Tips to Creating a Retro Candy Bar

1. Decide how you will present your candy wares. Will you choose candies matching your color scheme?  Possibly a monotone display. All purple? All blue? Do you prefer to let the candy speak and include vintage choices with wrappers in every color?

2. Display your candy so that the overall look of the candy bar doesn’t appear confusing or a bit overwhelming. Choose large, vintage glassware for storing your candies, and arrange your table with varying heights to draw their eyes upward and away from the flat table. Added height to glass jars at the back of the table will help the vintage look not be lost in a sea of options. You can add height with some vintage milk cartons, or go for a few wood blocks covered in fabric of coordinating colors and patterns. Be sure your base is sturdy before adding too much height.

3. Choose a creative take-home container. With the recent rebirth of the Mason jar, a mini Mason is always appropriate. However, if you’re ready for something different, try a Chinese food take-out box in transparent plastic or even color-coordinated paper. Don’t doubt the effect of the “plain ol’ paper sack.” You can also add the date and title of your event to add to the charm.
