There is something truly special about a wedding. More than a single day, it is the coming together of people, stories and traditions, all woven together to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter.
From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, every detail is chosen with care. The flowers, the tablescape, the menu, the music, and, of course, the drinks all play a part in creating moments that guests will remember long after the final toast.
At Saicho, we believe every celebration deserves something exceptional in the glass.
Celebrating Every Moment
The most memorable weddings are those that feel personal.
A carefully chosen welcome drink as guests arrive. A thoughtful pairing alongside an elegant dinner. A toast shared between loved ones. These are the moments that bring people together and become lasting memories.
As more couples look to create celebrations that feel inclusive, alcohol-free options are becoming just as considered as every other part of the menu. Sparkling tea offers a sophisticated alternative, complex, celebratory and crafted to complement exceptional food without compromise.
Whether enjoyed by those choosing not to drink or simply looking for something different, every guest deserves to feel part of the celebration.
An Evening with Nadine Merabi Bridal
Earlier this month, we were delighted to join The Wedding Edition and Nadine Merabi Bridal for an inspiring evening celebrating confidence, style and modern bridal fashion.
Hosted within the beautiful Nadine Merabi Bridal showroom, the event brought together brides-to-be, industry experts and creative voices for thoughtful conversations around dressing for every wedding moment, from the engagement party to the evening reception.
Alongside inspiring talks from Sabrina Percy, Xana Marlene and Cassie Capuozzo, guests enjoyed beautiful floral installations by Kathryn Josey Flowers, elegant stationery from Charlotte Willmore Design, hair and beauty by Bobbi Brown UK and Neville Hair & Beauty, with the evening captured by Alexandra Moss Photography.
Throughout the evening, guests were welcomed with chilled glasses of Saicho Sparkling Tea, offering a refreshing, alcohol-free way to toast the occasion.
Crafted for the Wedding Table
Every bottle of Saicho begins with single-origin tea, sourced from renowned tea-growing regions before being cold brewed for 24 hours and gently sparkled.
The result is a drink with the complexity of fine wine and the refreshment of sparkling wine, making it an elegant choice throughout the wedding day.
Whether served during the drinks reception, paired with the wedding breakfast or poured for the evening toast, sparkling tea brings a sense of occasion to every celebration.
Our collection offers something for every menu:
-
Jasmine: A refreshing aperitif with delicate floral notes, pairing beautifully with fresh seafood, light canapés and citrus-led starters.
-
Darjeeling: Bright and elegant, complementing grilled pork, roasted poultry and beautifully spiced seasonal dishes.
-
Hojicha: Rich, savoury and deeply umami, perfect alongside mushroom risotto, truffle dishes, charcuterie or perfectly cooked steak.
-
Osmanthus: Fragrant and softly fruity, pairing effortlessly with stone fruit desserts, buttery pâtisserie and delicate wedding cakes.
Celebrations Without Compromise
Today's weddings are about creating experiences where every guest feels included.
Choosing an alcohol-free option no longer means compromising on flavour or presentation. Instead, it is an opportunity to discover something crafted with the same care, complexity and attention to detail as every other element of the day.
Served in a champagne flute, Saicho Sparkling Tea offers a refined alternative that feels every bit as celebratory as the occasion itself.
Here's to New Beginnings
We were honoured to be part of an evening that celebrated not only beautiful bridal fashion, but the creativity, craftsmanship and community that make weddings so special.

Here's to celebrating love, bringing people together and creating unforgettable moments, one sparkling pour at a time.
