DIY COCKTAILS

Cocktails are superseding champagne as the newlyweds’ tipple of choice. “It’s slightly more cost-effective, and signature cocktails can better reflect personal tastes,” says Ruth Lawton-owen, managing director of The Admirable Crichton (Royal Warrant for catering services to the Prince of Wales). Taking a cue from Meghan’s wedding cake, the elderflower martini is a popular choice. The “pimp your own prosecco” trend with well-stocked DIY cocktail stations knows no bounds.
