How to Spice Up Your Bar

July 30, 2013

There are so many different ways to get creative for your wedding. Of course there are the usual things like invitations or floral arrangements, but why not spice things up with one of the most important parts of a wedding reception:  the drinks!

If you are having a summer wedding, what better way to kick off the event than to have jars of colorful, tasty drinks! Served to your guests prior to a sunny outdoor ceremony, they could really useful in cooling down the crowd.

Oh…cocktail hour; the best way to start off the evening! What better addition to delectable miniature hors d’oeurves than petite drinks to go alongside.

Whether or not you decide to have an open bar, adding a signature cocktail is always a unique touch at your wedding. This could be the couple’s favorite drinks or a themed specialty drink to go along with the season.

You are always going to have a few guests not looking to imbibe. A fun way to include the teetotalers would be to create a “mocktail”! Anything from creating a Shirley Temple in a champagne glass to a martini glass filled with milk with a cookie on the rim would be a fabulous and delicious addition to your event.  (My mouth is watering already!).
