The knot is officially tied! Time to pour a glass of champagne and enjoy the remainder of the evening. Cocktail hour is a perfect opportunity for the bride and groom’s personalities to shine through the little details.

From decor, drinks, and appetizers, one can truly get creative at cocktail hour and win over your guests with those WOW moments! 

Signature Drinks 

Signature drinks are always a fun way to spice up the original orders at the bar. You can add personality by naming the drinks something special, like your pet’s name, or the city that you got engaged in! Have a custom sign for the His & Her drinks with the ingredients and drink name.

Champagne Wall 

Champagne walls have been very popular, and we love the decor aspect the wall can bring to the overall vibe. People love the look of a champagne wall, and surely will want photos in front of it!

Custom Koozies or Napkins 

Custom koozies are a great way to flair some personality in the decor. Everybody loves a good koozie, so this can also double as their party favor! Napkins are a fun way to add a saying like drunk in love, or customize the napkin with your wedding date and last name.

Fun Snacks or Food Walls 

Ditch the cheese board and win guests’ hearts over with fun food stations like a pretzel and cheese wall, mini chicken and waffles, or queso fountain! 

Pretty Linens & Center Pieces 

Decorating your cocktail tables with a printed linen like floral or paisley, adds some pizazz and can truly elevate the entire room or area. For a romantic touch, add framed photos of the bride and groom as centerpieces, or just stick to pretty florals! 

Couch & Furniture Rentals 

Furniture rentals are becoming more and more popular for cocktail hour, and we sure know why! Adding unique furniture pieces like a pink couch, or a bohemian rug creates a photo worthy,  cozy atmosphere for your guests to relax and grab a cocktail!

Neon Sign or Photo Op Area 

While the bride and groom are taking photos, you can too! Set up a photo op area for your guests to have fun taking photos. Having a backdrop like a neon sign, greenery wall, champagne wall is always a guarantee for a photo op!
