Planning your wedding is one of the more sweat-inducing (and if I’m being totally honest, stomach churning, terrifying, and holy-crap-is-this-over-yet) aspects of getting married. As a matter of fact, I recently learned that of all the things a couple goes through over the course of their relationship, aside from the death of a family member, the toughest are: having a child, planning a wedding, and buying a house. In that order.
So to put it another way, wedding planning is just slightly less painful than delivering a baby.
I think on some level we already knew this, especially since wedding planning and giving birth have so much in common—but now we just have the science to back it up. So for all you newly engaged ladies and gents out there who are stressing out about planning your wedding, this post is for you.

I think we could all use a cocktail today, no? With all the feelings this presidential election has brought, I’m pretty sure we can all agree that healing (as individuals and as a country) is in order — and what better way to come together than over a pretty fig thyme cocktail. Because alcohol makes everything better.

If you’re having a fall or winter wedding, then you need to make this Spiked Apple Cider one of your signature cocktails. It’s an upscale twist on classic apple cider, spiked with orange liquor, sliced apples, a sprig of rosemary and a dash of champagne for bubbles. And did I mention it’s delicious?
One thing I love about weddings this time of year is all the warm, homey touches that really bring the festivities to life. While blankets, bonfires and hot cocoa bars can all help cozy up your gathering, I’m a big fan of adding some extra special touches that really embrace cooler weather while still adding a personal touch.
And one way to do that is through cocktails! Especially this light and sweet spiked apple cider.
