~Signature Cocktails For Your Wedding!~







{The Signature Drink}


Who doesn't love a good cocktail at a wedding?  

Not only will your guests enjoy these yummy beverages that you have chosen, but the drink(s) that you choose could convey your relationship.

This is yet another way to personalize your wedding, to bring out you and your fiance's style, favorite things, to tell your story.

Did you guys have a certain drink on your first date? 
Are one of your fond memories of you and your fiance on vacation sipping on Mai Tai's and laughing the night away? 
Incorporate these into your big day!

There are so many drinks to choose from! If you don't have a drink or two that tells your story, or reminds you of a time in your relationship, no problem! Pick one that goes with your "theme" or color scheme, and pick some of your favorite fruit to garnish them.

One thing that I love to see is a "His" and "Hers" drink.  Options for the fruity drink loving ladies, and the scotch or more "manly" drinks for the male counterparts.

Have your drinks?  
Now to add in a few more details!

#1: Drink Stirrers

These are not necessary of course, but when used they are just so cute and a fun way to further personalize your wedding, and also another place to utilize your amazing "theme" or colors, etc.

#2: The Signage

Your guests want to know what the options are! 
Tell the story behind the drink on a chalkboard, in a frame, painted on a wood piece, whichever fits your style!
I mean these make adorable photos, no?

#3: Garnish/Decorate
You can garnish with some fruit, herbs, edible glitter, chocolate on the rims, rock candy, or fun straws.  SO many options here, pick what works best for you!

~Tips For My Brides #3: Hangers!~

Hello everyone! Hope you are having a fabulous week:)

Today's tip for brides:

***Get a nice hanger***

Oh yes this is SUCH a small detail, but a huge thing for me.  
For serious.

I asked one of my past brides if there was anything they would have done different, any advice to other brides. 
The ONE thing she said was that she wished that she had thought of getting a nice hanger for her dress, or even just using a wood one.

NOW I always tell each and every one of my brides to make sure and have a fun/cute hanger for their wedding dress.  
The "dress shot" is a huge important one, and can be so beautiful. 
 Why would you want to ruin this with an icky cheap plastic hanger?

I can assure you that photographers agree.

Even taking it one step further . . .
Coordinate some cute hangers for the bridesmaids as well.
It can make a cute little gift, a personalized hanger for the maids dresses.

AND make for a great photo
I see photos of the bridesmaid dresses with the bride's dress . . . but there is all these random sizes, materials and colors of hangers.  It kind of distracts from the beautiful dresses.

Ok so you may think that I am being too detailed of picky . . . but that's my job right?! :)

Trust me.  Do it.
