December 12th, 2011, by Brooklyn Bride

  Papabubble was a fabulous find I discovered years ago near Little Italy, and I've truly been obsessed every since.  The candy flavors are totally unique, and they can customize the sweets to have your names, initials, monogram or really, whatever your heart desires!   They're great for bachelorette parties and bridal showers too, especially if you get their jumbo candy rings.   Will you incorporate custom candies into your I Do's?
