Wine Theme Wedding
Wine theme wedding is a good idea for all couples who are about to get married and are both wine lovers. Choosing the right option when it comes to a wine theme wedding is not easy because it changes many things. For instance, a wine theme wedding is best conducted at a winery because most wineries are located in tranquil and beautiful places that offer wonderful views to all your guests. There are many wineries that have made it a specialty to offer themselves as a venue of a wine theme wedding and you must look around to find the one that is closest and convenient to you and your guests. Some wineries are even big enough to offer indoor weddings if you prefer.
The next big decision with a wine theme wedding is the food that you choose to serve. As a wine lover, you must know that different wines go well with different foods and you must make provisions accordingly. If you plan to server red wine at your wine theme wedding then you must include red meats and marinara dishes. Seafood and salads are a must with rosé wines. Similarly, white wines go best with white meat and seafood. For that extra-special touch, the time before the reception could be used for wine tasting. After all, you are already next door to a winery. In case you are not serving dinner then your wine theme wedding should include dessert wine that goes well with your wedding cake.
Designing invitations for your wine theme wedding is also a fun activity. Make sure you set the tone right from the invitations so that everyone knows they are receiving invitations to a wine theme wedding. Use lots of vines and grapes and follow a color scheme that matches wine colors, like burgundy and purple on off-white paper. Similarly, make sure that the napkins, favors, tablecloths, bouquets, bridesmaid dresses, and if possible, even the bridal dress includes the same color themes in different ways to keep it interesting but without reaching saturation point.
Speaking of saturation, a wine theme wedding need not become a wine festival. There are several different routes that may be taken to achieve the final effect but it is not necessary to do everything from a wine perspective. You could have a regular wedding with the wine theme playing along in a more complimentary rather than dominating role. So just a touch of the right colors might be enough. To go one step further you might have grapevines for decorative purposes. In case you are not having your wine theme wedding at a winery then you could arrange for artificial vines.
Another advantage of having a wine theme wedding at a winery is that they can provide you with experts who can introduce guests to new vintages while the conversation can remain lively as the intricacies of various wines and their qualities are discussed and explained. If your guests are as keen about wine as you are, then rest assured that a wine theme wedding is the one wedding they will always remember and talk about.
