How to Plan a Wine Wedding Theme

If you and your partner are looking for a unique wedding theme and you both happen to love wine, a wine wedding theme would suit you best. Wine themed wedding is not only very elegant, but it also contains three main ingredients for a fabulous party that your wedding guests will long remember – great wine, delicious foods and good friends. For a successful wine wedding theme, consider the following wedding planning details:

Location

Choosing the location for your wedding ceremony and wedding reception comes first and foremost. A winery or a vineyard is the best location for your wedding and reception. If you are planning to have your ceremony and reception outdoors, consider an alternative plan in case it rains. Most wineries have both indoor function halls and outdoor gardens intended for special occasions such as weddings. Do not hesitate to ask the wineries near you.

Reception Menu
Choose a wine wedding theme menu that will complement the wines you will be serving. If you are serving seafood and salad, rose wine will be the best compliment. Red meat will best compliment red wines. White wines are good with white meat and seafood. You can even offer wine tasting during the cocktail hour served with scrumptious hors d’oeures. If you plan not to serve dinner on your wedding reception, you can still use a wine wedding theme. In this case, choose dessert wines that best compliment your wedding cake or dessert.

Wedding Favors
Complete your wine themed wedding with wedding favors that will delight your guests – a rich, hearty Petite Merlot gel glass candle with a harvest grape scent. The wine wedding favor is a real petite wine glass filled with transclucent gel and adorned with a cute heart charm and elegant satin ribbon, packaged individually in a clear display gift box with wine and grape design. What a perfect way for saying – “thank you for sharing this happy moment with us!”.

Wedding Invitation
Part of your wine wedding theme is your wedding theme invitations. Cute wine wedding invitations will help you bring the drama you want to project in your wine wedding theme. You can design your wine wedding theme invitations by shaping them like grapes or wine glass image. You can also use the colors of wines like deep red, burgundy, and off white. You can adopt these colors in the bridesmaids dress, bride’s wedding gown, napkins and tablecloths. Your wine wedding theme invitation will give your guests hint about your wine wedding theme.
