Make-Up Tip!

Hire your wedding makeup artist to stay throughout the event, and set up a tall bar table with two chairs in the lounge area of the ladies’ room so she can offer touch-ups to your guests.

Like the Mojito’s?

Then you’ll love the Strawberry Jewel! I was visiting a friend the other night, who’s a bartender at a local upscale bar, and he mixed me the most amazing, flavorful drink I think I’ve ever had. It’s called a Strawberry Jewel and its mix of BomBay Sapphire, Strawberries and Basil (yea, I said Basil) was the most delicious drink. I left and went to my local grocery store to pick up the ingredients… went home to my fiancee and poured us some drinks. He loved it so much, his first reaction was, “this has to be at the wedding”. Since then, we’ve decided to create our own selection of drinks for our wedding. We’ve been buying our favorite liquors and mixing our own concoctions. I’m so excited to see all my guests faces when they try my mixed drinks. Well, I have to give James some credit for the Jewel. :)

If you’re looking for something exciting and new to do at your wedding, and a little alcohol testing isn’t a problem, get with your man (or woman) and mix up some drinks for your special occasion. I know I can’t wait to see everyones reactions!
