Make Your Wedding The Sweetest Day Ever With A Candy Buffet!

Alex Gambardella on Aug 26, 2009 2:19 PM PDT

Forget picture frame magnets, mixed CDs, and those other gimmicky favors you've been considering doling out to your wedding attendees. Get on your guests' sweet side with a spread of sweet treats! Candy buffets are a fun, colorful reception trend nowadays that are used in place of favors (no, not in place of dinner!) and look gorgeously festive when matched with your wedding colors. With overflowing tiers of homemade goods, trays of colorful truffles, or decorative jars full of your everyday favorite goodies, you can arrange a beautiful table complete with cute candy scoops and personalized to-go boxes and part with guests on a sweet note! You can even ditch the color scheme and stick with a theme, like a fireside s'mores bar for a rustic reception! Check out Wedding Bee's Candy Buffet Wiki page for some advice on setting up your own, complete with example pictures and links to all the sugary supplies, and don't forget to take a look at the slideshow for some more cute ideas!

Hot In The Hive: Molave Ring Vase

Anna Yu on Apr 10, 2009 6:24 AM PDT

When I look at decor magazines or even the Ikea catalogs, it seems that stark minimalism is everywhere. I'm talking about bare walls, white lacquer furniture and really uncomfortable looking sofas. While I can definitely appreciate the simple and clean lines of modern decor, I like some organic shapes too. Then again, I don't want my living room to look like a ski lodge or hunting trophy room either. That's why the Molave Ring Vase is perfect for nature lovers with minimalist tastes. The vase features sustainable Philippine molave wood and a recycled glass cylinder. They even kept the bark on for a authentic rustic look! Best part is, you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for it (it's doubly guilt-free!). So keep your walls bare and set this vase down on your glass side table to create a room even the Swedish have to appreciate.

Price: $59

Hot In The Hive: The Call-To-Dinner Chandelier

Anna Yu on Jan 8, 2009 1:25 PM PST

The rustic look has never been my cup of tea when it comes to interior design. While there's nothing wrong with wicker furniture and distressed wood, I have a more sleek and modern taste for home decor. So I was pleasantly surprised when I came across the Call-To-Dinner Chandelier and really liked it! A great look in an open kitchen, the dangling forks and spoons would glint in the light as well as cast interesting shadows throughout the room. If you're anything like me and love a healthy dose of modern design, maybe it's time to bring a little bit of the rustic countryside into your life.

Price: $249

Nest Pick: Warren Hile's Slat Sofa Table

Lisanne Silverman on Feb 25, 2008 1:16 PM PST

There's something about an antique-looking oak table that adds so much to a living room or bedroom. Thing is, they usually cost so much, which is no fun to find out after spending so long looking for that otherwise perfect piece! We're loving the clean lines and delicate design on this sofa table from Warren Hile's studio, but at around $1,800, it's suddenly not so ideal. Lucky for us, Stylehive makes it easy to find great deals on furniture that's just as unique. We've come up with five pieces with as much (if not more!) personality, and best of all, they each carry a price tag that's well under $1,000. Check out the slideshow and see what we have in store, and tell us which is your favorite!
