1. 3-D Drama
Evolve past the straight bar counter and build a rectangular bar with a backdrop of giant playing cards to bring eye-catching symmetry and a hint of danger. This wedding bar will not only be a treat for your guests’ eyes but will pull in the crowd at your grand reception.

3. The Flower Power Bar
Indian weddings are always adorned with fresh florals in all the ceremonies. Why not extend the floral theme into the bar and add blooms and bouquets and posies to attract your guests like bees to nectar.

4. Old World Charm
Maybe you want to create the sophisticated exclusivity of a vintage gentleman’s (and woman’s) club. For those who like to savor the complex flavors of blended scotch like the Johnnie Walker range, adding some posh cigars will create an old world charm for your guests.

5. Tapas Bar
Add a touch of European panache to your wedding bar by devoting half of it to serving drinks and the other half to serving bite-sized tapas. Guests can drink and snack while standing around and having fun.

6. Bar Al Fresco
Go green. Simulate the deep, dark, relaxed environs of a forest when you suspend leafy streamers and freshly cut weeping willow fringes from the ceiling. Add some lanterns on top to let the light dapple through and transport your guests to another world.

7. Oktoberfest Style
You’ll have them talking about this for ages after. Offer an on-tap craft beer selection to your guests. Not only will you introduce some of them to different kinds of beer, they’ll be in high spirits trying out new flavors and the free-flowing taps will add a touch of the exotic to your party.

8. His and Hers
Just because you got hitched doesn’t mean you need to have the same taste in cocktails. How about dividing the wedding bar into two sides with the bride’s signature cocktails in one and the groom’s signature cocktails in the other half?

9. A touch of the Arabian Nights
Add a sheesha/hookah corner as an extension to your wedding bar where your guests can lounge around with their drinks and flavored smokes. It’s a little decadent, a little exotic and a whole lot of fun!

10. Shot o’ clock
Get the MC to announce Don Julio tequila shot line-ups at regular intervals at your bar and get people to ‘clock’ in to add a fun element amongst your younger crew at the wedding.
