How to Use Antiques in Your Wedding: French Perrier Menu Board (for sale!)

One of my favorite things to see at weddings are signature cocktails - they have the possibility for such creativity, both in the recipes and the presentation. It's a great way to show your personality as a couple and inject your style through the menu. I intended for this post/shoot to line up with the Kentucky Derby but I'm a little late to the party, oops. :( Nonetheless, I love this forest-green French Perrier sign and I've staged it for a deliciously preppy derby-worthy (wow, that's a mouthful!) wedding. Hope you feel inspired and the sign is for sale if you're interested! (details below)

Glass swizzle sticks are the best. So glad my Mom convinced me to scoop these pretties up at an antique shop years ago!

About the French Perrier Sign:
I found this charming French bistro sign at a German flohmarkt on the German/French border while I was living in Europe. I'm a huge fan of Perrier (They have the best styling - we have an assortment of Perrier drinking glasses, too) so I immediately fell in love with the sign, knowing it would be a fun and whimsical menu board for the kitchen (or wedding!).

I especially love knowing that this sign most likely used to grace a French bistro or cafe, letting its patrons know the specials of the day. And the green and creamy white palette would mesh so easily with so many wedding palettes - I especially love the idea of having it for a garden chic wedding. (I totally would have used it in my own wedding if I had sourced it in time!) For this shoot, I styled the board as a cocktail menu but you could just as easily make it a dinner menu or even use it as an escort sign, directing guests where to sit. The possibilities really are endless. I used a white wet erase chalk marker to pen the menu and what's great about using a chalk marker is that you can take a wet cloth and wipe it right off for a new design!

The board does have a few imperfections from use - some of the green color has worn off in a few spots (which you can see in the photos - click photos to enlarge) and there is a small indentation on the upper left portion. Other than that, it's good to go! 

The board measures 22.5 x 35 inches and is made of a thick plastic material.

Price: $148.00 + shipping
If you're interested in the Perrier sign and would like to request a shipping quote, just message me your zip code at theclassicbride@gmail.com! First come, first serve.

ps. If you want to purchase the sign and like how I've designed the menu and would like me to pen your own custom menu or design, I'm happy to do that for an additional amount depending on how involved it is. Just e-mail me at theclassicbride[at]gmail[dot]com and we can chat about it! :)

This awesome Rhum ashtray is for sale, too. Just e-mail if you're interested. :)
