Personalization tips: Wedding beverages
Any good wedding planner will tell you that the only fool-proof way to make your wedding unique is to personalize it! Put a little of your heart and soul into it and make it a representation of who you are – as individuals and as a couple. Oahu Wedding’s planners search constantly for the little things that will make an event special; things that brides, grooms and guests will remember and love.
We are noticing a new trend in personalizing these events – through food and drinks! A meal is obviously necessary for any reception, whether it be a fully served multiple course meal, or fun hors d'oeuvre and finger food. Why not weave this necessary activity (and expense) into the theme of your wedding? We have come up with a couple of ideas to make your culinary experience fun and save a little money while doing it!
Today we will discuss beverages. The expense of an open bar for your guests can be quite overwhelming when hosting an event such as a wedding – especially when your guest list is large. To avoid this, try providing a certain amount of alcohol at each table (maybe a bottle of wine and champagne service). Then, incorporate a special mixed drink of your choice to be served as well – choose one of your favorite drinks, or maybe one that has a story behind it (like the drink that the bride ordered on your first date, or the bride or groom’s absolute favorite drink). Don’t forget to post the significance on the wall near the display, or maybe on a small note attached to each drink.
Another great idea is to choose a drink that matches your color palette. For example, Cosmopolitans might be an awesome display of color for a wedding using deep red and pink hues. Mai tais will be an adorable addition to a Hawaiian wedding or one with a neutral palette of browns and greens. Create a decorative setting for the display of your drinks – everything is a part of the décor!
TIP: While you are being creative with cocktails, don’t neglect children and non-drinkers! Include a specialty non-alcoholic drink in the same display (try lemonade with fresh mint, or Shirley temples with cherries on top).
Choosing one drink to share will deplete your costs drastically, and also give you a way to incorporate one more element into your theme. If your guests don’t particularly care for your drink of choice, they can always indulge in something a little more standard, like beer or wine.
Here are a few examples of charming implementations of beverages in these inspiration boards from Abby Jean’s inspiration board contest!
Bright colored cocktails are an edgy accompaniment to a modern wedding - especially one in a tropical setting!
The stir sticks make all the difference in these flirty little lemonades by Soiree. This is a perfect example of personalization!
These beverages go hand in hand with this bright-colored palette.
