Welcome to the winery! Vineyard weddings offer rustic elegance and a chic European mystique. Reason why this is your theme? Tuscan-themed weddings are all about the pastoral locale. The natural beauty and virgin surroundings create the desired ambiance without any dressing up from you. With a few bubbly bridesmaid gifts and wine-themed wedding favors, your vineyard wedding can have the grace and beauty of a well-aged Merlot.
The Couple
Richard and Emily. A couple who spends weekends wine tasting in matching togas and debate endlessly about which wine is better -Chardonnay or Riesling. They refer to themselves as oenophiles, registered for things like wine glasses and wine pairing classes. If this couple sounds like you, start planning your Tuscan-themed wedding.
The Locale
A beautiful vineyard in Nappa. Takes place in August or September.
The Inspiration
Watch
Sideways and
Under the Tuscan Sun. Think rambling farmhouses among rolling green hills. Try to capture the ambiance in everything from your bridesmaid gifts to your favors. Look at labels to get inspired for your invitations. Check out these
wine cork place card holders!
The Flowers
When it comes to your wedding flowers, think burnished. Vibrant orange, deep purple, and sprigs of free greenery.
The Menu
It (almost) goes without saying, but you'll have to serve wine. Help guests enjoy their wines by offering a brief description of each on their menu card. Any wine aficionado knows that wine and small plates goes together like peanut butter and jelly. For appetizers, serve tapas of grapes, cheese, and olives, followed by a Mediterranean main course.
Bridesmaids Outing
Your wine-theme does not have to stop at the wedding. Forget the nightclub and go wine tasting with your girls! Give your girls elegant wine openers or
personalized wine glasses for bridesmaid gifts and buy their favorite bottle of wine from the tasting and present it in this
personalized box. This summer
winery tavern sign is another great, wine-themed bridesmaid gift.
The Little Details
Any bride knows, creating a theme starts with the littlest details. Start with wine themed wedding favors, like these
wine art coasters or this
chrome bottle stopper. These
personalized wine favors also make a lovely keepsake of your Tuscan wedding.
