1. Reflecting Your Personality and Taste
Your wedding day is a reflection of your love story, and your signature cocktails should mirror your personalities and preferences. Start by considering your favorite spirits, flavors, and memories associated with your relationship. Do you have a favorite cocktail from a memorable date night? Incorporating such personal touches can make your wedding even more special.
For instance, if you met in Bloomington, you might opt for a cocktail inspired by a local favorite, Kilroys or Sports Water Long Island. On the other hand, if you're drawn to the vibrant culture of Columbus, a spicy margarita might be a fitting choice.

2. Complementing Your Wedding Theme
Your wedding theme sets the tone for the entire celebration, and your signature cocktails should complement it seamlessly. Whether it's a rustic barn wedding, a chic downtown Indianapolis soirée, or an intimate garden affair at the Inn at Irwin Gardens in Columbus, Indiana, your cocktails should enhance the overall aesthetic.
For a vintage-themed wedding, classic cocktails like Old Fashioneds or Martinis can be an excellent choice. Alternatively, a tropical nod to where you’re traveling for your honeymoon could feature refreshing tiki cocktails or exotic fruit-infused drinks to transport your guests to an island paradise.
