It’s an especially happy Friday around here since we get to talk about cocktails + florals with you. In June we shared these summery drinks, so we wanted to keep the series going by pulling together a few cocktails that are both the perfect colors for fall and delicious, and floral arrangements that would make any fall wedding dreamy. Who knows, maybe one of these could be your signature wedding cocktail + bouquet (wink wink), or they could just be something you shake & stir tonight!

We love the idea of plum being the dominant color in fall weddings. Paired with gold and vintage elements, like in this vintage wedding inspiration shoot, it looks gorgeous!

We’re having a hard time deciding which cocktail/floral combo is calling our name. They kind of all are!
Happy Friday, Cakelets!
