Signature cocktails have become a staple at receptions. Usually it’s a drink that the bride or groom is known for enjoying or something from a favorite restaurant or family club. Not all of them have to be passed or alcoholic, and sometimes its all about making a simple bar display look more customized. Here ares some of our favorite ways to punch up your drink offerings.
It’s Friday which means it’s a traditional evening for guests gathering and rehearsal celebrations. The night before the big event, the last night as a single person, and all of the toasting and anticipation can sometimes be just as fun as the wedding itself…We love getting to help our clients with the rehearsal dinners and playing with more casual hints of the wedding such as variations on the colors or theme. For this bride, we used the classic navy and white colors from the wedding to design a fun and sophisticated nautical yacht club soiree.
After working with Lee Kleinhelter (owner of Pieces, Inc) on her wedding, we were thrilled with Southern Accents (sadly, now gone) asked us to design a baby shower for a feature spread, since Lee was expecting her son Holden at the time it was a perfect pairing! We went back to using her signature kelly green color, and modern touches like a simple font, and Jonathan Adler ceramic accents. The shower took place at the famed Swan Coach House in Atlanta, Ga. so we had fun making such a traditional venue work for this modern maven. Of course, we brought Liz Banfield back to shoot the day for us.
