If you’re looking to surprise your wedding guests with something fun and unexpected at the end of your party, a DIY popcorn bar can be fun and easy. Today, I have a creative popcorn bar set up with handmade artisan popcorn balls from The Curious Confectionery.

This post was created in collaboration with several handmade shops. Brenda's Wedding Blog has received payment, trade and/or products for this party styling. All opinions are my own.

Since you’ll want your guests to be able to take home their popcorn ball and enjoy later - I've even found personalized goodie bags and the sweetest bunting ribbon {can be used as decor and to tie off the bags with if desired}.

Now that you have all of your supplies to create this quick and easy popcorn bar - let's get it set up.

You will first want to display your popcorn balls on the cake stands. The flavors sent to me included hummingbird, smoked salted caramel, toasted coconut and happy hipster. These handcrafted artisan popcorn balls are made with all natural ingredients and taste amazing. There is no gluten ingredients in the popcorn balls {but they are made in a facility where gluten is prepared}. However, my oldest daughter who is super gluten sensitive, had no reactions at all. We had truly couldn't even pick a favorite popcorn ball - they were each very tasty and I'm looking forward to their fall collection launching too. Wait until you hear the flavors for the fall season :)

You can can display the printable popcorn bar sign in a 5x7 frame and drape the mini bunting ribbon across it for a fun decor accent.

I scattered some of my color matching Festive Fetti around the table linen and cake stands for a little extra festive fun.

Display your personalized goodie bags on the table so guests can choose their popcorn ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and place in the goodie bag. The bags can be folded over, tied with twine, a twist tie or even some of the bunting ribbon.

Now, it's time to Snatch and Savor the Goodness with this DIY Popcorn Bar. Enjoy the sweetness :)

I've always loved the cake stands by Sarah's Stands - the crispness of the design and the bright colors are so intriguing. Now, Sarah's Stands has released a brand new cake stand collection that features a modern design that will compliment any cake  {or even cupcakes}. In celebration of the release of the Simply Stunning Collection, Sarah teamed up with some of her favorite cake designers who put their amazing talent to work in creating confectionary masterpieces to grace the new cake stands.

​Wedding cake stands by Sarah's Stands - from her Simply Stunning Collection. Cake designers {left to right} are Three Little Blackbirds, Fondant Flinger, Maggie Austin, AK Cake Design, and M. Robin Cakes.

Other highlights of the Simply Stunning Cake Stand Collection . . .

1. The stands are made of carbon steel for strength and durability which makes them easily used again and again.

2. The stands feature a powder coated finish that resists scratches and knife marks.

3. The cake stands come in five lovely colors including white, black, silver, nude and of course my favorite . . . purple. It's a great way to add a splash of color to your cake presentation.

4.  I'm loving the flat top on the cake stand which makes it easy to cut and slide your piece of cake off.​

5. The cake stands are cost-friendly which means that now every bride can have a Sarah's Stands cake stand for their wedding or maybe it's used at the bridal shower and the bride can keep it as her gift. Either way, you'll want to act quickly as the Simply Stunning Collection is available for a limited release so you better snag your cake stand up before they're all gone.

Rustic Theme Weddings are still very popular this year and Daisy Days carries charming wedding accessories that are just perfect for this theme. I think rustic and outdoor weddings are great - they create a casual and fun atmosphere, yet the rustic theme can easily be dressed up with touches of lace, ribbons and other elegant touches.
