To fully embrace the personality behind their drinks, many couples go the extra mile and spice up their unique libations with memorable add-ons, like monogrammed cocktail napkins and straws. As for another one of our favorite drink decorators? Custom stirrers, which are also known as swizzle sticks. Swizzle sticks serve a purpose that goes beyond a garnish—they can boost the taste of cocktails by ensuring the ingredients are well-mixed and their customization potential can further pull your wedding theme together. Much like your signature cocktail, these stirrers are a reflection of your personality and are yet another creative way of making your big day unique. Luckily for you, some of our favorite real weddings have featured chic swizzle sticks, which means there are plenty of options out there that can inspire your own. Not only do your custom stirrers say something about you and your fiancé, but also the overall vibe of your day. Whether it's a black geode swizzle stick for your modern event or a sweet bow or monogrammed option for a more traditional look, there are so many different ways to interpret these drink accessories.
