Reception Drinks, Part...Two. Also: Harry Potter.

We'll just call it two and be evensies.

Today, we bring you an interesting and wonderful list of drinks and wedding decorations from the Harry Potter series.

First of all, you have to be a different level of cool to have a Harry Potter wedding. Especially one that's not cheesy, but beautiful, like the one in these photos. Second of all, if you happen to be this cool, I'm not entirely sure you need to get married, because your marriage may be so awesome it causes things to spontaneously combust.

With this in mind, we take you through a visual tour of Harry Potter drinks, and Harry Potter wedding decorations, simply hoping that we can endeavor to reach the level of awesome that this couple has so exquisitely achieved. 


"The Avada Kedavra"


1 part Goldschläger
1 part Schnapps, sour apple pucker
1 part tequila, gold
1 part whiskey, scotch
1 splash lemon juice
2 dashes Tabasco sauce
    "Mix all ingredients. Serve in a shot glass." 



       "The Gryffindor"




      1 part Liqueur, raspberry (Chambord)
      1 part cranberry juice
      1 part orange juice
      1 Maraschino cherry
      1 twist (of peel) orange

      "Mix juices and Chambord with ice, strain. Garnish with an orange twist wrapped around a cherry with a sword-pick through it. Serve in a hurricane glass."


        "The Severus Snape (served in a test-tube shot glass, of course)"



        1 part Schnapps, blackberry (Black Haus)
        2 parts vodka, pepper

         "Combine ingredients in a shot tube."









         Now, onto the beautiful Harry Potter themed wedding, which I am taking from the delightfully geeky website themarysue.com.

        Their Own Hogwart's Express. Where? How? I know not. Awesome? Definitely.



        Extra Wands! And Very Quaintly Dressed Guests.



        Everyone got their own personalized wand. And had been sorted into a house.



        Each House had its own little placard.



        A Hogsmeade-Esque Teeny Village.



        Classy invitations with an owl embossed seal.



        Clever knick-knacks and a scrumptious-looking cake!
