Sophisticated Wine Theme Weddings

Sophisticated tastes call for an elegant wedding theme. Brides looking for a mature wedding theme should consider a wine theme wedding, which are great for second marriages or for couples who are a bit older than the average wedding couple. That being said, young sophisticated couples that enjoy wine can also plan a wonderful wine theme wedding.

Decor for a wine theme wedding should be very mature and elegant. Wine theme weddings work wonderfully in the evening. The ceremony site should be decorated much like a vinery. Colors of purple, burgundy, and green should be used in abundance. Brides should forgo using tulle and instead opt for wide wired ribbon for candelabra decor and other decorative additions.

Great decorative accessories for a wine theme wedding are faux grapes. Bunched grapes can be used everywhere to set the theme. Grapes can be added into flower arrangements and into pew bows. They can also be attached to the front of the wedding program.

Brides should use a great deal of green vinery to decorate for this theme. Covering the ceilings and walls with the greenery will help complete the look. Brides can also choose to use strings of white lights in addition to the greenery for a more feminine look.

The reception of a wine theme wedding should be elegant and mature as well. A nice jazz band would be a good idea for music. Decorative bottle stoppers, wine charms, and personalized coasters are great wedding favors for this theme. A fun idea is to set up a wine tasting bar. At the bar wine experts can allow guests to be educated on various wines while enjoying the party.

Food can be buffet style with servers or sit down style. Dishes including fish or steak are appropriate. Appetizers like dip made with wine flavoring are great as well. Cheeses and fondues are other great menu ideas and of course, wine should be served with dinner.

Wine theme wedding receptions should be decorated in a classy manner. One great idea for centerpieces is to use bottles of wine labeled with the couple’s names and the wedding date on them. By placing these bottles in silver wine vases with ice, you instantly create creative table centerpieces. To add to the look, decorate around the wine vases with greenery and faux grapes. Guests can enjoy the wine with their dinner at the table.

Another great idea is to use decorative wine glasses with candles placed in them. Group a few of these together in the center of the table and surround them with about five shorter wine glasses. Fill the shorter glasses half full of chocolates or decorative marbles. The guests will enjoy the scenery as well as the sweets.

A wine theme wedding is a great way to enjoy your wedding day in a sophisticated manner. Couples choosing this theme will have wonderful memories of their beautiful wedding and guests will also have the pleasure of sharing in an elegant event.
