With the sunshine, warm weather, abundance of great honeymoon locations, and summer breaks it's no surprise that the months between May and September are so popular for weddings. Sometimes however the summer heat can pack quite a punch. Take a look at some of these COOL drink ideas from Bell The Magazine. Looking for a fun way to tie in your colors, or a classy way to serve your favorite beer? These would be great to offer pre-ceremony as guests arrive, for cocktail hour following the ceremony, or at the end of the evening as a sweet frozen treat. Cheers!

Cutting your cake as husband and wife and serving it to each other is a moment your guests wait for at your wedding  just like the first kiss as bride and groom. These personalized cake forks from Beach House Living found on Etsy.com are a whimsical way to memorialize and personalize this special moment.

These would also make a perfect addition to your wedding or shower gift for the bride to be to use on her wedding day.

Have you ever noticed as you are leaving a wedding reception that the monogrammed favors marked with the wedding date of the happy bride and groom are left scattered on the tables instead of in the hands of the guests? As an event manager at the Courtyard on St. James, this is unfortunately a common occurrence.

If favors are a way that the newly weds share their gratitude to their friends and family, why not send them off with something they will truly appreciate. Late night snacks and edible goodies have become a popular option for wedding favors. It is a great customizable option that can reflect the personality of the couple, a favorite childhood treat, wedding theme, local setting, or cherished memory.

With an experienced onsite chef, the Courtyard on St. James offers a variety of fun edible treats for our brides that are usually butler passed towards the end of the wedding reception or set out on display. Some of the recent choices have ranged from breakfast tacos to beignets, banana pudding, and sweet potato cakes.
