I went into town today with my mum and we found loads of great bowls to use for the sweet buffet. I want them to be really mismatched rather than organised, so i like really unique looking bowls. We bought a really big one, a large martini glass, a bizzare looking glass container that i fell in love with, and a large brandy glass. Most of them were on sale so really cheap and the brandy glass was 50p in a charity shop, bargain! And best of all, my amazing mum offered to buy them for me as she loves the sweet buffet idea so much that she wants to pay for it all :D How lovely is my mum? Sooooo happy! I know this is really random, but i haven't bought anything for the wedding in months so this made me very excited lol xx

It's quite a large one as well, so i was excited about that and even if i end up not using it, it's only 50p! Charity shops are brilliant, sometimes :) xx

Bought another bowl today :D this one wasn't cheap but i saw it yesterday, fell in love with it and went back this morning to buy it. It's like an old fashioned sweet jar, but huuuuge. It's going to be the centrepiece of our sweet table i think :)

That's wicked, I love how it's unusual Oh blimey, I'm having a sweetie table but naturally presumed that the venue would supply the bowls. Is this not the case?

Joci, i think you supply your own bowls unless they say otherwise. I'd email/ring your venue and just ask xx
