What better way to tell your Valentine that they’re sweet than with a bouquet full of candy? This Valentine Candy Bouquet is not only a yummy alternative to flowers, but it also makes for a fun decoration for a Valentine’s Day party, or a festive addition to your Valentine’s Day decor. I added this bouquet to my heart-filled Valentine’s Day Mantel, out of reach from those that have little sweet-tooths in my house!

Fill the milk jug vase with hard candies. I chose a mix of pink and red candy hearts, adding them in four different layers.

I love these self-inflating heart balloons and included them to add some height to the candy bouquet. I added three by spacing them evenly around the vase. The candies in the vase will support them and hold them upright.

Next, add a variety of lollipops. You can add height to smaller lollipops like these mini twisty lollipops by sticking them in red-striped straws.

The candy bouquet is such a fun addition to our Valentine’s Day decor. Now the challenge will be to not eat it until Valentine’s Day!
