Well, someone has to have their wedding in the summer months, and it just so happens to be you! But what to do to help everyone attending beat the summer heat? Offer up one of the seasons hottest trends… the drink stand.

Matching your wedding theme

You can get creative with this one. Match your refreshment table to fit the theme of your wedding day. You can go with elegant bulbous clear glass containers, or if you are looking for that rustic charm, incorporate vintage glass containers with ladles and allow guests to drink from mason jars.

Pull inspiration from a childhood classic…

…the lemonade stand! Incorporate a variety of sweet delights like lemonade, iced teas, punches, and even include some bottles of soda pop! An ice bucket would be handy, but a cooler is more likely to hold all the ice you’ll be needing. A cool way to mask an ordinary cooler, rummage grocery stores for unused wooden crates (this time of year a lot of items are shipped in them…especially sweet corn. If not available at your supermarket try a local farmers market).
