5 Signature Cocktails Perfect for Summer Weddings

by

Whether you’re looking for a classy alternative to an open bar at your reception, a non-alcoholic option, or are simply looking to add an extra touch of elegance to your cocktail hour, signature cocktails can be a great way to showcase your personality. You can serve these only during a pre-reception cocktail hour, throughout the entire event, or even in the limo en route from ceremony to reception! Here are a few of our favorite ideas:

1. His & Hers (via Brides)

 


2. Coconut Lavender Lemonade (via Confectionalism)

 

 

3. Mini Rum & Coke (via The Knot)

 

 

4. Sparkling Punch (via Southern Living)

 

 

5. Caribbean Mist (via Something Turquoise)

Rustic Floral Arches

by

Nothing says romance like a naturalistic arch custom-built for your wedding vows. From simple structures of branches and greenery to colorful compositions dripping with roses, there is no end to the creative combinations you and your floral designer can come up with.

These work well both indoors and outdoors, so don’t worry too much about whether or not they’re “in season.” A good florist can make the magic happen regardless of when or where your wedding will take place. Here are some of our favorite rustic arches and structures from the Bride & Blossom archives!

New York Elegance at The St. Regis Hotel

by

Bride Cheryl Fradin and groom Adam Caviezel have one of those old-school New York City love stories that most people will tell you is the stuff of fiction.

“Adam and I met at a mutual friend’s birthday party at Houston Hall. He caught my eye, and we started talking. He got right to the point and asked me if I had a boyfriend. When I said no, he asked if I was at the party with anyone. Adam took me out dancing when the party was over, and we both felt an instant connection. Five weeks later we were in love and inseparable, one year after that we were engaged, and one year after that we were preparing to walk down the aisle! Every day we thank our lucky stars that we walked into each other’s lives.”
