Unpopular opinion: wedding season can be fun even if you’re single. Yes, love is fine and dandy, but forget love – let’s talk about booze. The best part about weddings is alcohol. It prepares you to get through everything else – group dancing, speeches, and the massive amounts of food you’re obligated to consume. In addition to the common requisite open bar, a lot of couples choose signature cocktails.
While we’ve seen plenty of couples go the boring, outdated traditional route (stout whiskey cocktail for the groom, some sort of vodka concoction for the bride), we’re bigger fans of original creations. We subjected ourselves to hours of ruthless Instagram sleuthing to bring you the best wedding cocktails. We curated this list based on originality, beauty, and seasonability. As it’s springtime, we searched for fresh, garden-inspired treats as opposed to heavy ciders. Feast your eyes on these fifteen lovely drinks.
