Nothing screams "let's celebrate" at a wedding reception like a bright and fabulous Mojito Bar! And although it may look complicated to piece together, we're here to give you the step-by-step guide on how to create a fantastically delicious Mojito bar of your own. So, put the fruit and rum aside for now, grab your supplies and let's get started!
Because we styled this DIY Mojito Bar for our recent Colorful Summer Wedding, we knew adding bursts of bright color was a must. We started by color blocking 3 DIY Unfinished Wood Hexagon Plank Signs in pink, coral and yellow mixed with gold to serve as the bases for our showcased Beverage Dispensers. We created this effect by first painting the DIY Unfinished Wood Hexagon Plank Sign gold, allowing t to dry and then covering one side of the Sign on the diagonal with Painter's Tape and then adding the pink, coral and yellow respectively.
Once dry, we placed Beverage Dispensers on Jade Cake Stands on top of the painted Signs. We painted 3 Mini Wooden Easel Place Card Holders in the same correlating colors and used them to hold labels for each of the flavors of Mojitos.
We took 3 DIY Weathered Wood Slats, painted them white and then added gold lettering naming each Mojito. We love the classic, yet modern touch this added to the bar.
3 Square Glass Vases were painted gold and filled with either fresh berries or you can use these gold bowls for the Mixed Berry Mojito, limes for the traditional Mojito and diced peaches for the peach Mojito. Each was served with a Gold Metallic Spoon that had been color blocked with spray paint as well. (Make sure to not spray paint the inside of the vase, food safety first).
We added 2 painted Bud Vases and detailed them with a strip of Gold Washi Tape and added a small bouquet of fresh flowers.
We then painted a DIY Scalloped Edge Tray in a fabulous mint blue color and used to house Premium Gold-Trim Plastic Tumblers with Gold Foil Striped Paper Straws for guests to easily access to make their own Mojitos.
Finally, we layered in a few Faux Eucalyptus Greenery Garlands and fresh flowers and placed the DIY Mojito Bar in front of a color blocked backdrop made from pieces of card stock from the Full Color Spectrum Paper Pack. What a simple and fabulous way to have your guests enjoy some delicious drinks at your event!
