• Your wedding day should reflect the unique personalities and tastes of you and your hubby-to-be, and cocktails are no exception!

• Create a signature cocktail that perfectly captures your coupledom, or concoct a “Bride-tini" and a “Groom-tini."

• Perhaps you’ll let the season guide your choice of drinks: spiked Hawaiian punch in the summer or white Russians in the winter. Or you may opt to incorporate the theme and colors of your wedding into your signature cocktail(s).

• Whatever you decide, we’ve chosen some fun ideas for inspiration.

• If a gruyère frittata with a mimosa around noonish is your ideal way to start the weekend, consider incorporating a brunch theme into your wedding.

• Celebrate friends, family, and good times with a drink commonly enjoyed at brunch: the Bloody Mary.

• A skewer of veggies or the traditional celery stalk are eye-catching and tasty adornments.

If you and your hubby-to-be love to explore the world and experience exotic flavors, why not incorporate your love for travel into your signature cocktail?

Here are a few ideas:

• Caipirinha - Mix it up with Brazil’s tasty and refreshing national cocktail.

• Mai Tai - Perfect for a summer wedding, the classic Mai Tai will have your guests daydreaming about white sand beaches.

• Avocado Margarita - A break from the traditional Mexican concoction, an avocado margarita is surprisingly delish.

• Coming out of the Great Depression and seeing the end of WWII were certainly causes for celebration, and folks of the era didn’t hold back.

• Bring back the understated glamour of the 1940s with Big Band music and appetizers like watercress and grape salad, and stuffed celery.

• A visually-stunning champagne tower can act as the centerpiece of your bar and has 1940s glamour written all over it.

You know you’re a beach bum when…

• You have tan lines all year long

• You don’t need to visit the hair salon for highlights

• You perpetually find sand in your furniture at home

If you and your sweetheart live for the beach, why not serve the Blue Hawaiian as your signature drink? This bright and delicious libation is made with white rum, coconut cream, and blue curacao, served in a high ball glass.

• If the movie “Sideways” is at the top of your movie queue and you’ve racked up an impressive number of frequent flyer miles from your trips to Napa, consider yourself a wino.

• In addition to vino straight up, consider making the San Francisco sangaree your signature wedding cocktail.

• Made with merlot, simple syrup, and bourbon, this enticing drink is sure to delight your guests.

If you love the idea of creating a signature cocktail for your wedding, but can’t decide on one that suits both you and your partner, consider a signature drink for him and one for her.

For Him:

• Old Fashioned - A simple concoction of whiskey, bitters, and sugar, the Old Fashioned is understated, yet distinctly masculine.

• Whiskey Sour - A dash of egg white makes the whiskey sour a unique libation.

Here are some cocktail ideas for her, with plenty of feminine flair.

For Her:

• Cherry-Blossom Tea & Pink Lemonade - Delicate and refined, this non-alcoholic beverage is a delight.

• Rasmopolitan - Add raspberry to the traditional ingredients for a twist on the beloved cosmopolitan.

• Pomegranate Caipiroska - Juicy pomegranate seeds along with vodka, lime, and seltzer make this bright drink a pleasure.
