13 Vintage Wedding Ideas That Are Anything but Basic

Nothing is more chic, sleek, and sexy than a refined cocktail hour—with drinks made to order per guest by servers stationed at antique bar carts. Have various styles of carts (perhaps each one specializing in a different spirit) placed throughout the event and don't stress about them looking completely uniform: The beauty of antiques and vintage is that no two pieces are totally identical. Intimate weddings at home or in the backyard make this cocktail service that much easier to achieve, and guests will appreciate not only your attention to detail in the event design, but in the beverage offerings and guest experience as well.

Take this idea one step further and serve classic cocktails only, like martinis, old-fashioneds, Negronis, and more. Then, purchase your favorite cart for your newlywed home to cherish it as a long-term heirloom. Trust us: You'll think of your wedding day each and every time you craft a quality drink at home.
