Tea in a Mason Jar

For hot days, offer a variety of iced teas (black, green, and bright pink hibiscus). Decorate mason jars with burlap, ribbon, and colorful straws, and let guests serve themselves. Offer fresh mint, lemon, lime, and orange wedges and flavored simple syrups (like rose, vanilla, and ginger).

Freshly Squeezed Juice

Depending on the season, offer freshly squeezed juices. For Winter and Fall weddings, serve pumpkin juice, and for Spring, opt for something fresh and tropical like a pineapple, mint, and apple juice. Alternatively, set up a juice bar and let guests mix and match their own ingredients.
