Whether you have a sweet tooth — or you’re looking to add creative confectionary to your reception tables or party, these delightful treats will add excitement, sweetness and some sugar-coated fun to your wedding day.
Remember giving these cute candy discs to your childhood sweetheart? Or picking a sweet at random to see what fate had in store for your love life? Love Hearts are a fun and nostalgic addition to a wedding — and you can order special wedding Love Hearts with “just married” messages, or even personalise the packets for added kitsch value.

A candy cart adds a fun, fairground-esque vintage touch to your wedding reception — and it’s perfect for sweet lovers. Hiring a candy cart enables you to give the whole wedding a sweet theme, or you can add it to a traditional wedding as an alternative to wedding favours. Candy Cartwheels can bring their fully staffed, beautifully handcrafted Victorian-style candy cart to sweeten up your special day.
