A couple’s wedding will be greatly influenced by their own style, whether it be the attire they don, the hair and makeup a bride decides to sport, right down to the cocktails they choose to serve.  Your wedding is an extension of who you are as a couple and personal touches are the way to express your style.

This list of Rock ‘N Roll Themed Cocktails is specifically for the couple that is all rock ‘n roll.  This couple will definitely be sporting some serious ink, at least one leather accessory, studs galor, someone will likely rock some pink hair maybe a mohawk, and a skull or two will make an appearance.  This couple breaks all the rules when it comes to the typical wedding protocols, because they rock to the beat of their own drum.

This edgy couple looks to rock ‘n roll icons like David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Joan Jett, Mick Jagger (just to name a few) for style inspiration. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to embody the style or live the rock ‘n roll lifestyle of these incredible icons?! Even for just one day.

Enjoy these cheeky cocktails!
