Creative Drink Options for a Dry Wedding
One of the most exciting aspects of hosting a dry wedding is crafting a menu that highlights non-alcoholic beverages. Here are a few ideas to inspire your drink station:
Mocktail Bar: Offer seasonal mocktails like sparkling cranberry spritzers, lavender lemonade, or virgin mojitos.
Infused Water Station: Wow your guests with a variety of infused water options, such as cucumber-mint, berry-lime, and pineapple-basil.
Warm Beverage Station: Perfect for winter weddings, include hot cocoa, spiced apple cider, and gourmet coffee.
Signature Drink Displays: Customize a signature mocktail that reflects your personalities or wedding theme.
Cheers to creativity! Guests enjoy a variety of non-alcoholic beverages, from mocktails to infused waters.
Entertainment That Keeps the Energy High
Without alcohol, your entertainment choices can shine even brighter. Consider these crowd-pleasing ideas:
Interactive Stations: Photo booths, DIY dessert bars, or lawn games encourage mingling and laughter.
Live Music: From acoustic duos to lively bands, music sets the tone for your celebration.
Dancing Under the Stars: With our stunning waterfront backdrop, the dance floor will be the star attraction.
Storytelling Moments: Incorporate meaningful toasts, storytelling, or a slideshow of your journey as a couple.
