Wedding Bars

Wine and dine your wedding guests. Once your vows have been exchanged and the dance floor starts to fill, guests will beeline to your wedding bar — so make sure it stands out.

Wedding bars and lounge areas are becoming more and more integrated within a wedding theme, rather than just part of the venue space. Vintage furniture rentals complete with typewriters and pastel florals create an elegant on-theme lounge space, while multicolored rugs, throws, and pillows form a bohemian lounge area. We’ve seen wedding bars constructed of all mirrors, living greenery, tinsel, tufted materials, and even completely made out of ice.

More rustic bar ideas include wooden structures, wine barrels, and simple greenery. String lights above your wedding bar to light the way for guests at a dimmed reception, or center it in the middle of your space for a hard-to-miss station. Cover your wedding bar in florals, designate with drapery, or offer custom drinks to celebrate the new chapter of your lives.

Lounge areas allow guests to kick up their feet, converse with others, and enjoy their curated cocktails. So raise a glass and make a statement with the creative lounge area and wedding bar ideas found in this gallery.
