Wed. Ed. Signature Drinks

  Signature Drinks 101


1. SIGNATURE STYLE Signature Drinks are a fun and unique way to show off your wedding style as a couple. A signature drink can say a lot about the newly-weds, for example; Is a towering Vodka Lemonade Fountain (as featured right) your style? Or are you more of a sassy Strawberry Champagne Martini? Maybe Classy Cosmo speaks more to you? Signature drinks are popular because they appeal to a broad range of guests without being too over the top, and it adds an extra memory to the wedding experience.

2. GO SEASONAL  Get inspired by the seasons when choosing party elements like reception cocktails. Many specialty drinks are based on the time of year - Sangria is great for summer weddings with fresh fruit medleys and refreshing chilled wine. Keep the Spirit of the season throughout your event - Bright colored fruits in summers, natural textures in fall and in-season florals like tulips and daffodils in spring time.

 3. BUBBLY BARS The latest reception trend is known as a "bubble bar" - a bar equipped with sparkling wine and champagne and a choice of two or three infusions. A favorite is Champagne Azelea - A surprisingly flavorful blend of bubbling Moscato D'Asti with a splash of cranberry and orange juice. This Signature Drink setup is a perfect way to get guests up and mingling while they mix and match to create their own explosion of flavor. "With multiple levels of synchronized table spotlights and gorgeous fresh fruit garnishes, you get the perfect collision of flavors as well as a bright punch of color for the guests to gush over throughout the event"   ----Marcella Christiani
4.COMPLETELYCUSTOMIZED Naming your signature concoction can be just as fun as drinking it! You can get fancy with personalized "last name cocktails" like the Parkins Pomegranate, or the Aggie's Appletini, or you can even go as far as customizing the color of your signature drink. This years crowd favorite has been the Champagne Slushies- a sweet icy cocktail with a splash of champagne and our secret ingredient now with unlimited color combinations! Take your color coordination up a notch by choosing a bright pink slushie to match your floral accents or a cool blue to go with your bridesmaids dresses. The sky is the limit and with an easy non-alcoholic option, even the smaller guests at your wedding can enjoy your custom signature slushies.
