Fabulous Signature Cocktails

Fun cocktails are one of our favorite ways for a couple to inject a little extra personality into the wedding. There are a lot of places to take inspiration for your signature drink from – your first vacation together, your hometown(s), your favorite colors, your favorite flavors, or even where you’re headed on your honeymoon! The options are limitless, but ultimately, if it’s tasty, who cares how/if you’re connected to it! You can choose to serve the signature drink as a welcome drink when your guests arrive, during cocktail hour only or throughout the entire night. Some couples choose to serve a few signature drinks along with beer and wine for the duration of the wedding, instead of having a full open bar, which is a great way to give your guests an option outside of beer/wine without breaking your bank buying Tons of types of alcohol.
