12 Fun Ways to Incorporate Straws Into Your Wedding Day

Tie a piece of patterned fabric onto your straws or glasses for a pop of colour. For instance, floral details paired with colourful straws elevate an otherwise simple setup. If you're feeling daring, offer an assortment of styles and designs for guests to choose from.

Let coloured glassware shine with classic lemon slices and white straws. These sleek drinks remind us of a holiday in the Caribbean with their ocean-hued colour scheme, refreshing lemon, and twisty straws to spend the night sipping away. Your drink table has its own vibe, so make sure it aligns with the theme of your wedding (or experiment and choose a unique theme for this area) so that the whole day blends together effortlessly.

Sparkling heart-shaped stir sticks add a romantic touch to a fun cocktail, and they look equally dazzling in the midst of a cosmo as they do a martini. Paired with shades of red, bows, and lace, you've got cocktails even Cupid couldn't resist.

Place the sticks in the drinks or have them placed along the bar for guests to admire. Choose an assortment of colours so guests can select the one they like most, and have extras available because they'll be needed after the first round. We love how this couple placed theirs in elegant glass vases and incorporated flowers into the mix.

A simple striped straw brightens up a lidded mason jar. This one reminds us of childhoods gathering berries in the summer sun; it brings irresistible rustic charm to the table and lets guests sip without worrying about spillage. Wrap the jars in vintage paper for an old-fashioned aesthetic; you can even mix and match patterns so guests can find a favourite.

Spotted straws come in a variety of designs and colours to suit any occasion. Since weddings are all about details, you already know that even the smallest touch makes an impact. These colourful sippers might be simple, but they help play up the love-filled atmosphere. Go rainbow by selecting various shades, or pick a few that reflect your wedding's theme and colours.

Everyone loves a slice of fruit on their drink for a natural sweetener, and there's no rule limiting it to just one. This suggestion can be as simple or as complex as you like, so get the creative juices flowing. Have sliced fruit for guests to squeeze in while they sip, or create a DIY beverage bar where guests can pick from a loaded variety of tropical delights. Whichever you choose, guests will appreciate the refreshment after hours of twirling away on the dance floor.

Have your wedding date printed on striped straws to match your colours. It's your occasion to remember, so leave no stone unturned. These charming sippers were easy to DIY, yet they add a charming touch to the beverage area and incorporate the couple's colours into the mix. Aww.

Have a chain of words printed on your stir sticks to spell out a fun phrase. Make a game and let your guests put them all together and find the solution by the end of the night, or stick with classic favourites (like this creative bride and groom) that'll get the whole crowd chatting.

These spoons aren't exactly straws or sticks, but they're another way to scoop up some sweet treats. Here, they're tied down to some delectable mousse jars, so guests can dine with their desserts on the go — or even on the dance floor. These easy-to-eat goodies make your day all the more magical, as guests can grab goodies while they're making the rounds. We'll drink (or chow down, in this case) to that!

Opt for a personalized monogram for your drink and bar accessories. This day is just for the two of you, so why not let your bar area reflect that? You'll feel like king and queen for a day with a personalized beverage area decked out with goodies, from glassware to napkins and, yes, of course — straws. Even better, these are so cute they can be taken home as reminders of your special day.

Print a selection of fun phrases onto your stir sticks for guests to pick and choose. They can be traditional wedding day favourites, or they can be something entirely different, such as jokes, movie quotes, or quotes from the wedding party themselves! Let guests have fun with it as they pick their favourites while they sip and swirl the night away, celebrating the two of you.
