Have you decided what welcome drinks you're going to serve at your wedding yet? Something lovely and fizzy or maybe you're opting for a signature cocktail? Well, how about doing both?!

We used Freixenet Spanish Cava which is not only inexpensive, but totally delicious and dangerously easy to drink!

I liked her the moment we met. She's warm, she's friendly and she has a wicked sense of humour. In fact some of you will know Kirstin too. I featured her own adorable Nashville elopement just a few months ago!
