Wedding Planning Details: Drinks at the Reception

The Sheffield School's Complete Course in Wedding and Event Planning gives us a great excuse to keep researching the latest trends in weddings. I'm noticing that many weddings are starting to feature one or more "house cocktails" that guests can indulge in at the reception. The venue is usually well stocked with serving stations that contain signage explaining the drink choices and attractive displays of ready-to-serve selections. It's easy, convenient, and gives the wedding planner an opportunity to tie in the overall wedding theme with the beverages. Example: a Mexican-themed wedding gets an assortment of South of the Border cocktails.

From our friends at 100 Layer Cake, the top wedding and inspiration blog, I've selected a few reception drinks tables that illustrate this trend. Remember that today's weddings are all about good styling and details, and even drink signs will carry out the details found in signage, invitations, and other print throughout the wedding and reception venue. Click on each photograph to see more photos from the wedding.

    I like a lot the last image with blush champagne!
    In a wedding reception it is good to have a lot of drink selection for guests to choose from.

    I really love the color of that blush champagne. I think I now know what color motif we'll be using for our own wedding. I can probably get http://www.nextdayflyers.com/invitation-printing/ to replicate this color and use it for our wedding invitations as well. The color just looks real elegant without being too formal.
