To serve the perfect cocktail, I think small details like a linen cocktail napkin (I like ones embroidered with something custom to you), perhaps a printed stirrer (available on Foryourparty.com), and served on a pretty tray make your game look strong- even if the drinks aren’t. Enjoy our little tidbit below on tips for serving… And see the full length video on our YouTube channel.
We love working with our Lettered Olive team to design custom patterns and or monograms, etc. for our brides to use on their wedding papers and throughout the wedding design. But, if you are looking for some ideas on where you can source some of our favorite design elements like pillows, fabrics, napkins, and papers to use at your wedding, here are some of our favorites! We’re also showing you how we use them!

We love to print fabric with patterns or monograms to cover our bars or even in some small tent ceilings as draping. Or as pillows to use on lounge furniture (and then use in your home after the wedding!) A great source we’ve found for this is Spoonflower.com. The great thing about Spoonflower is that they have amazing fabrics already printed and ready to order. Tarah and Molly from Lettered Olive give us their favorites…

Probably the most affordable way you can really give your event a “custom” touch is by incorporating paper- we use to line the trays that appetizers are served on, to wrap inexpensive cylinders that hold candles, and to accent the welcome gifts/favors/printed materials used throughout the event. Paper Mojo has some very beautiful and interesting designs that easily look as if they were custom printed.

Rossi Botanical Prints– love the acorns on this one for fall
Also, zazzle.com is a great place to print stamps, tote bags to use for welcome gifts, and so many items for favors, wedding party gifts, etc.
