RECEPTION Cocktail Hour 14952 views
Serving guests coctails as they arrive at your wedding reception is a hot new trend. Why not save the Champagne for the toasts and enjoy some cocktail fun to get the celebrations underway.
Perfect Pudding
At Pearl Bar (pearl-restaurant.com, 020 7829 7000), cocktails are not only the new toast of the season, but are so good they are doubling up as desserts. Why not finish the wedding breakfast with a flourish and drink to the health of the bride and groom with a favourite British pudding in a glass. The British Dessert Cocktail Menu at Pearl includes Bramley Apple Pie, Strawberries & Cream and Sherry Trifle (£11.50 each).
Just You Two
Cocktail lounge experts K-Events (thekenilworth.co.uk, 01926 779473) work with a top team of mixologists and suggest creating a bespoke cocktail for the big day. A 'Mr & Mrs Special' is a good way of making your day really individual and is a great talking point amongst the guests!
So Bubbly
For summer weddings, Champagne cocktails are a popular choice, such as Bellini and Kir Royale. Or pick a Cava or sparkling wine and make it a bit different by serving it with a raspberry or strawberry on the side. For drivers and non-drinkers, serve pink lemonade!
