Have a Wine-Country-Themed-Wedding Anywhere!

Let Napa Valley come to you. With a little help from your wedding planner and wedding designer you can create a vineyard-like setting in any venue. Incorporate an outside reception and it’ll be even better. Here are some ideas and tips:

• Integrate the color of your favorite wine in the colors of your wedding (blush, red, greens, white, cream, and beige).
• Get your guests wine bottle openers or wine bottle stoppers or bottles of your favorite wine as favors. These days you can find vineyards that can custom print the labels for your wine bottle.
• Because a vineyard themed wedding is more laid back, you might want to try a linen suit on your fiancé.
• Try sparklers for a super romantic touch and pizzazz to your photographs.
• Have a wine tasting counter at your wedding.
• Set up little areas with food that compliments different wines.
o Veggie Pizzas, Mini Desserts, Assorted Breads and Cheeses, Antipasti Platters, Pasta Station, Breadsticks with Dipping Oils
• Use wine barrels to display food or your guest book
• Set up an outdoor dance floor where guests can dance under the stars
• String Italian bulb string lights across the trees to add an iridescent light to your evening reception
• Use square tables with wine bottles as candle holders to illuminate your table scape.
• Try using a wooden arch to be married under with vines intertwined throughout the wood.
