Pumpkin Pie Martini


I know I should be blogging about Valentines Day and Spring and Summer weddings, but since I'm also working on a fall wedding for a client, I wanted to post this recipe for a great fall signature drink:

Pumpkin Pie Martini
Mix 1 oz. Vanilla Vodka,
1 oz. pumpkin liqueur,
½ oz. Bailey's Irish Cream,
a splash butterscotch Schnapps and ice

Shake, then pour and sprinkle with ¼ tsp. pumpkin pie spice.
For added "pie" effect,rim the glass with fresh lemon juice and crushed graham crackers.

S'more Station for your Wedding

I love interactive stations for weddings. Not only do you get to share some of your favorite treats with your guests, but your guests get to move around and have some fun at the reception. So when we saw this latest idea we were really excited about the potential of this idea.

We also love the idea of sending guests home with their own S'more kits to continue the fun at home!

Wheatgrass

An economical yet beautiful idea to incorporate into your wedding centerpieces or even your cocktail tables - wheatgrass. Incorporate this with a few flowers and you can see how beautiful it can look!

Beyond the Candy Bar





I'm a huge fan of the candy bar but LOVE these ideas from Brides.com. Now we have the sweet's bar, the s'mores bar (yummy!) and the ice cream bar! How much fun would your guest have making s'mores and ice cream treats at your wedding. While cutting your cake is fun for you and your husband, these ideas will have all your guest entertained!

Worried about line ups? Have your caterer set up a few stations around the room for easy access!

Now I need some ice cream!

Champagne Toasts


With NYE just around the corner our thoughts turn to sipping bubbly and celebrating with friends and family as we ring in a new year. Not too different then when we think about upcoming weddings! Looking for ways to throw a fabulous wedding without breaking the bank? How about a cocktail wedding reception?

Cocktail wedding receptions are formal events and, typically, call for formal attire for women and black tie or business for men. Since wedding guests stand for most of the party, these parties encourage mingling. You can add cocktail tables and stools and even funky couches for guests, especially grandma and grandpa, to rest. Why not throw in some late night dancing if your venue has the space.

Cocktail receptions are perfect for newlyweds looking to have an elegant affair, without spending a fistful of dollars. How about holding it at an art gallery, on outdoor terraces underneath the stars or in garden surrounded with patio lanterns.
To keep the bar tab low many couples choose to limit the number of types of drinks serviced, choosing only champagne, wine and beer and maybe a few other specialty or signature drinks.

Some d'oeuvres may also be served by waitstaff or on buffet tables at a cocktail reception. The wedding cake is cut after the wedding ceremony. This way guests can enjoy a piece of the wedding cake along with their drinks.

Need some help finding that funky reception venue for your upcoming cocktail reception in Calgary? Call Cornerstone Events today!
