Signature Drink ideas


One of the ways we always tell our brides and grooms to get creative is to make signature drinks for the bar. It’s a great way to infuse your personality into the wedding, without spending too much or doing any extra work! Here’s a few signature drink ideas to get those creative juices flowing!

1. French Quarter Cocktail: maybe your best trip together was New Orleans and this French Quarter Cocktail is the perfect way to remember that vacation.

2. Tequila Sunrise: Did your man propose at sunrise? This is a perfect drink to remember that magical moment.

3. Blueberry Lemonade Fizz: Perfect for a wedding on a hot summer day, this cocktail could even match your yellow and blue decor!

Feature Friday: Soap the Earth


We were recently introduced and fell in love with Soap the Earth, a small family business in Malibu dedicated to making quality vegan soaps and vegan skincare products. These soaps are PERFECT for wedding favors, gift ideas or just for you!

Soap the Earth hand makes, hand pours, cuts and wraps their soaps, with love and care, right on their California ranch. Unlike some other soap makers who pour in huge containers and cut their soaps in squares, they believe in making a soap that not only looks beautiful, but feels right too. That’s why their vegan soaps are poured into smaller, rounded molds that feel comfortable in your hand.

We are SO excited to let you all know that we’ll be doing a GIVEAWAY of one fabulous Soap the Earth product next week! Stay tuned and we’ll let you know how to enter!
