Lime Drinks
February, 2 2016
When life gives you lemons, trade them for limes and make lime drinks...
As you may already know, wedding planning can be stressful. Things may not go as planned or unforeseen challenges may come to be. When those stressful moments come to play, take a few minutes to relax and unwind. With that in mind, we want to share a few of the Lily & Lime team’s favorite lime drinks. So grab one of your favorite wedding inspiration magazines, sip on a lime cocktail, and let go of your worries (at least for a few minutes).
