Let's get one thing straight. I love doughnuts. Who doesn't? I also love creative weddings, which is why I think it is super rad when couples incorporate doughnuts into their big days. There are a few different ways this can be done. Doughnut wedding cakes can be a absolutely stunning, and make life easier as they don't need to be sliced. Doughnuts as favors are also a great option - again, who doesn't like donuts? Your guests will be happy and it can be a nice way to incorporate a rustic or fall theme into your favors.
One of the coolest way to incorporate doughnuts into a wedding? As the cocktail hour! I was at a friend's wedding last month that had a "cider and doughnut hour" and boy, did I feel the love! It was perfect for this October wedding with an early afternoon reception. And it was perfect for the couple. They love visiting local cider mills every fall, and their wedding cider and doughnuts came from their very favorite mill. Not only was it adorable, season-, and time-appropriate, but it also conveyed a part of the couple's special story.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the cider and doughnut hour at my friends' wedding. Let that be a sign of how good of a wedding it was; I was far too busy crying, laughing, eating, dancing, and crying some more to take pictures! But, here are some ideas I found around the web that could inspire a beautiful alternative cocktail hour...
