- Elegant Ways To Display Popcorn

How To Display A Popcorn Buffet
You’ve got your popcorn…now how to display it? What’s your wedding style…is it classic and very formal or casual and colorful? Do you want your popcorn buffet to follow the style of your wedding at all or just be a fun addition? As a planner, I would advise you to follow your wedding’s style and do your display accordingly. Believe it or not, you can make popcorn look elegant with the table coverings and jars you use, as well as the labeling. Try serving your popcorn in wine flutes lined with a cone of foil wrapping paper or elegant scrapbooking paper. If you’re on a budget, but still like the look, get plastic wine flutes from the dollar store. You could also make your own bags with white paper bags you can get at Wal-mart, dressed up a little with a band of flocked scrapbooking paper and a pretty gold sticker holding it together.,
Popcorn Balls
Make some baseball size or smaller popcorn balls and display them in a pretty bowl or make them even larger and create a topiary with them. For a more casual looking popcorn buffet, wrap colorful scrapbooking paper into cones, fill with popcorn and display in a long shallow container like a galvanized planter. Fill with jelly beans or plain sugar to hold the cones upright. Or you could just fill galvanized buckets with the popcorn and provide brown paper bags with a colorful band of scrapbooking paper wrapped around them and your monogram stamped on it. Use movie type small popcorn boxes for a fun and colorful buffet or even rent a really cool old fashioned popcorn machine
