Let’s take a break from our regularly scheduled wedding program for a little, colorful, sea coral decorated cocktail party….aka, the Ostrich wedding cocktail party.

*Cue awesome music - can I get a little Motown up in here??? *

With the big days 70 days away (OMG), I thought it’d be fun to share with the hive what we have in store for our favorite guests after we say our I dos.

Way back when, Mr. O and I put together these little inspiration boards. They’ve been super helpful, keeping us focused on getting the items we want (instead of snatching up and hoarding every new cute thing I find on Etsy- must…not….shop!) and doing the DIY projects that will create this playful, breezy vibe.

Playful chalkboard signs leading the way along the sea…

…to festive cocktails with equally festive DIY cocktail stirrers and striped paper straws.

And mmm-mmm good tasty eats!

Bleached white sea coral and washed aqua vintage jars will be peppered throughout the tables as our favorite people eat, drink, laugh and watch the sun set along the sea.

We’re so obsessed with the cocktail hour details and are not-so-secretly hoping we’ll be able to catch the last few minutes of it…just to get a glimpse of everyone we love having a terrific time.

What are some of the favorite bits of your cocktail hour? I’m excited to hear what you have in store!
