Eeeeeeeep!!! I am so happy to finally say that I am so excited for christmas!!! Being in Sweden has made me superfestive, the christmas decorations here are so darn cute! I have been totally inspired to have a traditional Swedish christmas this year however todays inspo board is not exactly traditional but was inspired by some of the decor I have found here. Swedes know how to do decor! Honestly Ikea does not do Sweden justice, I have been blown away by just how cool and modern everything is and whilst browsing in one of the little boutiques I came across some pretty baby pink baubles and a baby blue christmas horse and it got me thinking…
I wonder what a candy coloured christmas theme would look and it went a little something like this.

Tips for Planning a Candy Colored Wedding
A Candy colored wedding is like stepping into a dreamy, sugar-dusted wonderland—a celebration so vibrant and whimsical it feels as if it’s been plucked straight out of a fairytale. From soft pastel hues to joyful pops of colour, this wedding theme is perfect for couples who want to sprinkle their big day with a playful, yet sophisticated charm. Here are my top tips for planning your own Candy colored wedding, infused with my DIY expertise and a touch of heartfelt whimsy.
1. Embrace an Irresistible Palette
The magic of a Candy colored wedding lies in the harmonious blend of hues. Think mint greens, blush pinks, baby blues, and sunny yellows—each colour as sweet as the treats it’s inspired by. When I planned a styled shoot with this theme, I found that keeping the palette balanced was key. Too much of one shade can tip the aesthetic into chaos, so use your colours strategically, like a masterful artist with a delicate hand.
For a more cohesive look, tie your palette into everything—your stationery, table settings, and even your outfits. A bride in a pastel pink gown or bridesmaids in mismatched pastel dresses can create a stunning, candy-like effect that’s unforgettable.
2. Add Playful Decor That Pops
Decor is where a Candy colored wedding truly comes to life. Think oversized balloons in sherbet tones, cascading tassels in cotton-candy hues, and floral arrangements bursting with dreamy pastel blooms. When I crafted my first candy-themed DIY project, I created a hanging installation of pastel pinwheels. The guests were enchanted by the cheerful display, and it became the most talked-about detail of the day.
To take it a step further, incorporate nostalgic elements like a candy bar brimming with lollipops, macarons, and jelly beans. Add vintage-style signage with fun phrases like “Sweet Love” or “Love Is Sweet” for extra charm.
3. Choose Sweet Treats That Steal the Show
No Candy colored wedding would be complete without a dessert table that’s almost too pretty to eat. My personal favourite? Ombre cakes that look like edible works of art. During a candy-inspired wedding shoot I planned, we added pastel cupcakes topped with edible pearls, macarons in every shade of the rainbow, and shimmering cake pops.
To elevate your theme, consider adding a signature cocktail in a candy-inspired colour—think pink lemonade spritzers or blue curaçao mocktails served with striped paper straws. Your guests will swoon over the thoughtful, sugary details.
4. Capture the Magic with Subtle Lighting
The right lighting can transform your wedding space into a magical, candy-coloured haven. Fairy lights with a warm glow create an enchanting atmosphere, while coloured uplighting can wash your venue in pastel tones. During one memorable evening wedding I helped plan, we projected soft pink and lavender hues onto the walls, making the entire venue feel like a whimsical candy box.
5. Keep the Mood Lighthearted and Fun
A Candy colored wedding is all about joy and playfulness, so lean into that with interactive details. Set up a DIY station where guests can decorate their own mini cakes or fill jars with their favourite sweets. Personal touches like these will make your wedding not just beautiful but truly memorable.
Planning a Candy colored wedding is a chance to embrace the vibrant, joyful spirit of love and celebration. With thoughtful touches, a dash of creativity, and a sprinkle of sweetness, your big day will feel like a magical confection—utterly unforgettable and delightfully fun!
So what do you think about my candy coloured christmas idea? Ya or Naj? I cant wait to get home and start adding some Swedish touches to our home. I think I have even been inspired to add some baby pink too…who would have thought?
Much Bespoke Love
