Dylan Lauren's Candy-Themed Bridal Shower

I came across the most adorable bridal shower party for Dylan Lauren (Daughter of Ralph Lauren and owner of Dylan's Candy Bar) in this month's issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. Not only is the amount of detail that went into this party amazing, it perfectly resembles Dylan considering her creative entrepreneurial spirit and her love for all things sugar. I've shown just a couple of the elements that went into this party:
The Invitation- Dylan invited her guests to the sweet soiree with a strawberry chocolate bar imprinted with D&P for Dylan and Paul.
 
The Drink- A tray lined with jelly beans perfectly showcases the drink of the night, a lemon drop cocktail.

The Welcome- All of Dylan's guests first impressions of the party were full of sweetness as they saw a candy display of love. The heart mosaic in the background was made out of gum, a cheap way to make a colorful and creative space out of a blank one. 

Favors- Every good party has a fun take-home. These candy rings are actually very easy to recreate! Get the instructions here.

The Food- I'm pretty sure that if the only thing served was candy, a major sugar high could crash this party. So some super yummy cuisine was involved. Mini burgers and mini calamari with ahi tuna was just a sample of the delectable treats. 


The Guests-  Considering the theme was so modern and retro,  the guests are wearing a more sophisticated black and white color palette to make up for the child-like theme! That shows their true classiness.
 



The Candy Bar- My favorite part of the entire party is the candy bar. I love the concept of all you can eat candy. Lately a candy buffet is all the rage.

The Guestbook- personalized pencils and notecards made the perfect farewell to the evening so that "sweet wishes" can always and forever be read over and over again. Get the how-to and printable stationary here.
