Wedding Bar Design – It’s no secret that the bar is the most popular spot at any reception. After your guests down their celebratory flute of champagne, chances are they’re going to make a beeline for the bar, wherever it is.
This is the place where your guests will congregate, taste your carefully-selected signature cocktail, and visit again and again throughout the night. And since this place is obvi going to be popular, why not make it an area to remember?
After all, if you incorporate the bar area into your overall design scheme, you may even save money. For instance, if your bar is covered in flowers, who needs a flower wall?
And if you include signature signage here (think: a monogram insignia!), you don’t need it anywhere else. But with that in mind, there are a few things you must consider first.
One is that your wedding bar should complement your venue’s setting. You don’t want a rustic wooden design if your event is in a ballroom, just as you don’t want a dark circular display at a romantic garden party.
Next, it’s best to think about accessibility—because that’s exactly what you need this bar to be, accessible! Size and shape factor into this, to see what size you can fit in your space without going too big. Your guests need to move around, after all.
Turn Your Bar Into Your Focal Point
“For a tented summer wedding, we like to create a floorplan that makes the bar a focal point and gathering area,” suggests Tracie Domino, founder and creative director of Tracie Domino Events. Whether outdoors or indoors, strategize the design of your event space to fit around your bar setup.
Integrate Decorative Details
“Decorating a cocktail bar facade with a motif pulled from your wedding invitations is a festive way to incorporate a thoughtful detail into your happy hour,” says Aleah and Nick Valley, founders of Valley & Company Events. “Crests and botanical prints are especially fun and unexpected and can amp up the design factor during cocktails,” they added.
Make the Bar Double Sided
“No one likes a line at the bar, so having a double-sided bar allows your bartenders to work more efficiently and get those drinks to your guests quickly,” says Vanessa Vierra, owner and creative director of Vanessa Noel Events. “We also opted for a large bar menu adhered directly to the bar to help guests choose their drink selections before they arrived at the bar.”
Get Resourceful With a BarBack
“Create a summer garden-chic design by adding a little warmth of grey to your traditional white bar and finishing the design with a rustic bar back,” says Jacklyn Dahn of Revel Décor. “In addition to creating more space on the bar, utilizing a bar back provides another surface to bring the summer garden theme to life with soft touches of greenery and candlelight.”
