What We're Loving Right Now

Burlap and.......

Burlap is popping up everywhere. While it was formerly considered to be a primitive fabric, pairing burlap with with softer fabrics like lace or with classy crystals makes it one trend that we are loving right now.

The juxtaposition of the burlap and lace can take your event decor to the next level. Burlap and crystals give the feel of elegance. We predict that using this trendy new touch in your wedding decor or any other event decor for that matter will prove to be a great decision.

Add a Signature Cocktail to Your Wedding

Wedding:  a day of Celebration, Joy and Love surrounded by those close to you. You spent months looking for THE dress, the one that is "just you", the venue you chose most likely is of significance to you and your future hubby and you have found a way to incorporate photos of the two of you in the centerpieces or decor. These are just a few ways to add that personal touch to your big day.

But what about a Signature Drink? This can be your favorite drink or a wedding cocktail with your favorite liquor or that fits your color scheme. 

Our Top 3 is definitely:

The Blushing Bride

2 oz passion-fruit nectar
3 oz Champagne
1/2 teaspoon grenadine

The Something Blue
2 oz Hypnotiq
2 oz White Wine
1 oz Ginger Ale

  

The Caribbean Bride

1 oz Light rum
1 oz Triple sec
8 oz Fruit juice
1 tsp Grenadine

1 tsp of Dark Rum on top
Crushed ice cubes

 

A signature cocktail at your wedding not only brings a personal touch but it can also be cost-saving. Just think about it: Instead of offering an open bar, which let’s face it, can be quite expensive, just serve two or three signature cocktails along with a selection of wine, beers and non-alcoholic beverages. 

Enjoy!
