How better to get ideas on your Tiffany themed wedding than from the company itself? Following a screening of the movie Bride Wars at the AMC Lincoln Square, over 200 guests headed to Tiffany & Company’s Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York for a reception full of all things ‘blue.’

These are so cute, I would never want to eat them! These tiny cakes or cupcakes in Tiffany’s blue were served on silver platters.

Blue drinks were served to guests. But if you’re wondering how they made it, you’ll have to keep wondering. Tiffany’s isn’t telling.

I know there been a lot of hype about the new movie, and I know I’ve been part of it. Sorry! I’ll be watching it this Saturday with a bunch of girls and I hope I won’t be disappointed!

Golf fanatics will get a kick out of these cute golf clubs which are actually silver-plated sitrrers for your guests’ drinks. This would be a perfect item for a golf-themed wedding or for your groomsmen.

Everyone knows that part of the fun in getting a Jones Soda is to check out the label on the bottle in addition to enjoying a tasty refreshment. In fact, there’s often contests for getting your picture on the bottle for any new flavors.

Well, turns out you can get your own personalized Jones Sodas made to order which will be perfect favors for your wedding guests. All you have to do is choose the flavor, submit your design and figure out how many you want. Lucky for us Canadians, they now ship to Canada.

My favorite? Green apple or root beer.

There’s something refreshing about this combination and it all stems from the lovely green color of the cymbidium orchids in the bride’s hair. To avoid a very ‘green’ looking wedding, I chose a champagne colored bridesmaid dress pulled from the color of the table cloths and an invitation that incorporated the two colors beautifully. The signature drink is an impressive “Summer Solstace Sake Sparkler” that will be unexpected by the guests, but sure to be a pleaser.

Below are the instructions on how to make the signature drink:

Summer Solstace Sake Sparkler
1 fresh basil leaf, chopped
6 fresh mint leaves
2 lemon twists
2 orange wedges
1/4 English cucumber, seeded and diced, very cold
1 1/2 ounces orange flavored liqueur (recommended: Cointreau)
Ice cubes
250 ml bottle sparkling sake

Put the basil, mint, lemon, orange, cucumber, and orange liqueur in a cocktail shaker. Add the ice, cover, and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, the drink is ready when the shaker mists up.) Pour into a chilled Collins glass and top with the sparkling sake. Drop in a pair of chopsticks to pick out the cucumber and oranges, if desired. Drink.

Simpson told PEOPLE on Friday that she was never the type to dream about her wedding when she was growing up, but changed her tune once she got engaged. “Now that I’m doing it, I definitely have that big dream. It kind of went more fairytale than I thought. I got really into it.” Added Wentz, “She has this amazing imagination and to watch it take place is an awesome thing.”

However, no alcohol for Ashlee because she announced she was pregnant at the reception!

Congrats to the happy couple!

More couples are choosing to have their own signature cocktails to add a nice personal touch to their wedding. The signature cocktail can serve as a representation of the bride & groom’s personalities - light, tangy, or sweet with a twist. However, with the prices of weddings skyrocketing, more couples are choosing to offer signature cocktails at their wedding receptions instead of having an open bar. Whether you decide to go the route of signature cocktails to save some money, or have them just at cocktail hour, here are some suggestions you can use for your wedding:
