Wedding Inspiration

The spectators are back!!!! I love the inspiration of the 80′s updated for a modern version of Classic….. Ok, I really don’t get what that means but I must say that I just love this look and the colors are just funky enough to be unique!

One of the most romantic and elegant ways to create an ambiance for your wedding is to consider candles….. LOTS of candles. Give your guests their first glance by highlighting entrance areas with candles. This is a great way for your guests to know exactly how special your wedding is going to be!

How about creating an aisle of candles and skip the cost of flowers! Gorgeous but make sure your guests (or your dress!!!!) dont knock over the candles or it will be one heck of a celebration (unless you have always wanted firemen to escort you down the aisle lol.

So if you are looking for the idea of romance and maybe saving a few flowers, candles are the most versatile element of decor to consider.

Instead of offering an open bar at your reception (which can get really expensive), just serve one or two signature cocktails along with a selection of non-alcoholic beverages.

 

Choosing a Signature Cocktail

• Choose a drink that coordinates with your wedding theme or color scheme… it’s a lot of fun and will look great in pictures.

• Think about the time of year you are getting married and choose your cocktail(s) accordingly… cold and frothy for warmer weather, warm and spicy for cooler weather.

• One fun idea is to pick one signature drink for the bride and one for the groom. Don’t forget to give them fun and creative names that personalize them for your wedding.

• Try to choose cocktails that will appeal to a wide audience and are not too strong.

Drink Recipe Ideas

Keep the ingredients simple. Recipes that require only one alcoholic ingredient will save the most money.

Blushing Bride

  • 3 oz. Pineapple Rum
  • 3 oz. Cranberry Juice
  • 3 oz. Orange juice

Shake ingredients together, chill, and serve straight up or over ice in a glass.

The Nervous Groom

  • 1.5 oz. Whisky
  • 5 oz. Sour Mix
  • Splash of Grenadine

Shake ingredients together, chill, and serve straight up or over ice in a glass.
