There are other things that you can do with your cool cocktails that will not only keep your guests comfortable, but help you create amazing wedding memories.

Make sure the drinks are ornately adorned with beautiful tropical flowers or skewers of fresh fruit and a paper parasol. Ask your photographer to go from table to table and take a photograph of each table, with all of the guests holding up their cocktail in a toast to the newly married couple!

Photo Ideas ” gotta have that drink “
Photo ops that might incorporate your tropical coolers include having all of the groomsmen standing with the groom, offering him something cold and colorful to drink before the wedding. Not only does it make a bit of a humorous photo, but it also looks striking to have brightly colored cocktails pictured on a background of either black tuxedos or white linen shirts and pants. You could do the same with bridesmaids, only choosing a drink color that complements their color scheme.
To give your guests an added “cool” bonus, consider having one of your tropical drinks poured into glasses through an ice luge. You could have a tropical martini (made with coconut rum and almond liqueur) mixed and then served down the ice luge, giving this tropical treat a nice chill before it hits your guests’ glasses.
