Carrying your colors through to the drinks and food is unexpected and elevates simple refreshments to wedding fare. A display set up either at the reception or before it, lets guests help themselves. Mint limeade and pink lemonade in glass containers are identified with computer-printed labels, attached to ribbon with double-sided tape. The sweets -- iced sugar cookies -- match the plaid trim and monogram on the tablecloth. An airy garland is strung with paper flowers.
