The vineyard wedding theme is one of my favorite wedding themes. Think of a romantic wedding in Napa Valley, Sonoma or your local winery. Or the wedding celebration in a Sicilian vineyard in the 'Godfather'. I think I'm partial to this theme because both of my grandfathers had grape arbors and both make homemade wine. The wine press was a part of my life, but I preferred to pick the grapes and eat them off the vine. I remember sitting under the grape arbors and enjoying the smell of the grapes and the beauty of the leaves and their curling tendrils. You can even recreate a winery atmosphere in your own back yard.
Vineyard weddings and receptions can take place inside or outside. Vineyard weddings feature mounds of fresh food artfully arranged on tables and of course, wine. Drinking wine at weddings goes back to biblical times and is used in many wedding and religious ceremonies. The grape has always been associated with good luck, love and abundance, which makes it a perfect wedding theme. Since grapes and vineyards seem to spell romance, I see the bride in a romantic, lacy dress. The lace is traditional, the styling contemporary. Both dresses in my collage are by Casablanca Bridal. The maids are by Raylia Designs. Think about adding grape leaves to your wedding bouquets and to your floral centerpieces. I envision multi colored flowers intertwined with grapes and grape leaves in the centerpieces and accents. Naturally, everyone envisions purple as a color to use with a vineyard wedding because we think of grapes as being purple. Concord grapes are purple, but grapes come in shades of burgundy reds and light green. If you decide on any of these colors as your color palette, you can accent with any other shade of grapes, the burgundy, the purple concord grape color or greens including lime green. Your bridesmaids can wear long dresses or tea length dresses. If you have an outdoor vineyard wedding, choose a dress that will make it easy for you to navigate the outdoors. And don't forget the wedding door gifts for you to say thanks to your guests. You may find a lot of favor ideas nowadays and you should choose those that can match with your wedding theme and please your guests at the same time.
