On cold days like today, what better way to warm things up than with the arrival of Sandals marketing materials at the studio. We got our usual shipment of marketing materials today but also received a new magazine from Sandals called Sandals Style! The magazine is amazing and features some really cool trends, ideas and recipes inspired by the Caribbean. Over the next few weeks, I will be featuring some of these neat ideas for brides to incorporate into their summer or spring wedding.

Signature drinks have become increasingly popular among brides as a way to incorporate a personal touch to their reception and/or cocktail hour.  We found some amazing cocktails that would certainly be a crowd pleaser! Listed below are the recipes for these scrumptious concoctions!
