Summer Weddings and Their Quirky Families

The ever-lovely summer weddings are here! The blissful harbor of marriage beckons many couples during the summer season. The eagerly awaited day is full of joy and love, and at the wedding reception, the celebration goes on in grand style well into the evening. Weddings are known for excellent food and drink, and the tables laden with delicacies offer many opportunities for beverage pairings. The wine menu is polished to perfection for this important day.

Weddings are also famously a great opportunity to meet new people, as guests arrive from both sides of the couple's families and, of course, from their circles of friends. Who's who? Let's take a quick round of introductions!

The Talkative In-Laws

It's important to keep the future mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law happy. They have plenty of life experience and many good—as well as slightly questionable—ideas about various matters. The boldest among them have sometimes been described as rather sharp-tongued, but their well-meaning tips are definitely worth taking to heart! Most in-laws are absolutely overjoyed about their child's marriage and welcome this spouse with open arms into the family. Remember to take the in-laws out for a dance too—they're often razor-sharp on the dance floor!

Baron de Ley Tapas

Baron de Ley Reserva

For the in-laws' quality-conscious taste, we've dedicated the traditional, high-quality, and robust Baron de Ley Reserva from a respected Spanish producer. It pairs excellently with the buffet table—for example, with meats, cheeses, and small savory appetizers like tapas.

Barth Fructus Riesling

For the diverse buffet table offerings, it's naturally worth having a few good white wines as well. The dry Pares Balta Savia Viva Xarello and the semi-sweet Barth Fructus Riesling are the best friends of salads, savory snacks, and white meat. Both wines are fruity, and fans of both dry and semi-sweet will find their favorite among these. We certainly recommend tasting both and being pleasantly surprised!

The Groom Without Equal

Is the bow tie straight now? Yes, indeed. The groom is dressed in his finest with a shared life ahead. The lucky husband has found a wonderful spouse with whom to share all future adventures and happy moments. The wedding day is one of the most important milestones of his life, and we celebrate this all day long with friends and relatives. There are speeches and entertainment until evening, so the groom could use a suitable toast that also pairs well with food.

Parés Baltà Brut b

We've dedicated Parés Baltà Brut b to the groom—a deliciously sparkling cava. Sparkling wines bring a festive feeling, and what could be more fitting than this moment. Parés Baltà Brut b is a versatile sparkling wine perfect for toasting between speeches and entertainment, enjoying with food, and even moistening the throat when the father-in-law's speech runs long.

The Beautiful Bride

The stunning bride is a touchingly beautiful sight. No wonder even TV wedding shows bring tears. She is fortunate to receive the title of wife today and to have her beloved partner as her spouse. The day will include dancing, speeches, and most likely quite a few tears of joy from both the couple and the wedding guests. In between, we'll toast whenever we get the chance, so the bride needs a magnificent and delightful celebratory drink worthy of her. The spouse's glass already has cava, but what shall we come up with for her? Let's see!

Nicolas Feuillatte Réserve Exclusive Brut

Champagne suits life's good moments, so for this grand day it's more than a natural choice. We therefore wanted to dedicate Nicolas Feuillatte Réserve Exclusive Brut to the new wife—perfect for the glass when only the best will do. This enjoyable authentic champagne is luxury in a glass, and it also serves well as a food pairing. It's perfect for toasting with loved ones and enjoying a shared meal.

Bridesmaids and Groomsmen Are the Wedding Dream Team

The bridesmaids have the joy and honor of serving as the evening's masters of ceremony together with the groomsmen. They're with the couple throughout the celebration from start to finish, so there's plenty to do and the day is packed with activities. A glass of sparkling refreshment will certainly provide a nice break in the day's whirlwind.

Tosti Asti Dolce

For the bridesmaids, we've dedicated the summery delicious Tosti Asti Dolce, a classic from the Tosti winery. This lovely sweet sparkling wine tastes heavenly when well chilled. It's worth offering a taste to the thirsty groomsmen as well! At the buffet, this wine is made to pair with cakes and other desserts.

Working behind the scenes at the wedding, the groomsmen bustle about alongside the bridesmaids. The bridesmaids and groomsmen form a true dream team that ensures the celebration runs smoothly and supports the couple on their important day. This fun-loving group gives speeches and organizes entertainment—either as planned or as a complete surprise. There may be plenty of other surprises throughout the day, but no worries—the bridesmaids and groomsmen choir will happily fetch those forgotten wedding rings!

La Sueca Sangría

For the groomsmen, we've dedicated a lovely fruity and refreshing sangria, which can be made from, for example, Metsmaasikas Wild Strawberry strawberry liqueur and red wine using this easy recipe!

Sangria is the hodgepodge of mixed drinks, perfect for pouring into a punch bowl with ice and fruit slices. At its simplest, it only needs red wine, fruit, and a carbonated drink like Sprite. The bridesmaids won't mind a refreshing fruity glass either! Sangrias are summery social drinks that will surely appeal to other guests as well.
