 The fall season is one of harvests one part of the season that is not normally realized in wedding themes is wine and vineyard weddings. If you think about it you would be bewildered as to why it doesn’t come immediately to mind. Grapes are fruit also and must be harvested during the autumn season just like apples. This is good news because it allows you the bride to bring a level of elegance and sophistication that would not be normally possible with other fall wedding themes. Here are some great suggestions for a fall wine wedding.
The first thing to consider is the location and whether you are having the wedding inside or outside. The fist location to have a wine wedding is fairly obvious. Have it at a local winery. The interesting thing is that while grapes can grow only under certain climates, California is not the only place you can find vineyards. If you live on the East Coast, the South, or even the South West there are a lot of local wineries and vineyards near you. Just do some research and you will be surprised by the results. If you are in an area where a vineyard is not near enough try bringing the vineyard to you by making the decorations of your ceremony hall transform the location where you exchange vows with your groom an Italian or Californian vineyard. For example you can use trellises laden with grapes and vines as wall decorations and clusters of grapes and small wine bottles as aisle markers. If the wedding is held outside, in either a vineyard or some other location try using a gazebo as an option for where ceremony will be held.
The reception is an important part of planning for a wine wedding. Wine is a beverage associated with feasting so it stands to reason that you would need to pay most attention to the details of your reception. The menu needs to be essentially built around wines. The types you choose will either depend on the winery if you hold your wedding there or your personal preferences in other settings. A great idea is to have wine tastings and provide cheese and fruit that best match certain vintages. Do your homework to make your reception meal a success.
Another aspect of reception planning will be the decorations. Like the location of the ceremony use the grape and vineyard theme but more of it. Use grapes and wickerwork combined with fall blossoms for a dramatic center pieces. Also use other types of decorations for the walls and main serving table. Of course choose theme appropriate place cards.
The piece de triumph for the reception will be the cake. You can have many options to choose from. For example a great idea is a chocolate cake with white chocolate icing to delineate a vine trellis and candy confections for grapes and the vines climbing up and culminating into either a traditional cake topper or a bunch of grapes or confection bottle of your favorite wine. You can go for simple elegance with any flavor cake that has non colored icing and only molded designs of grapes, wine, and vineyard implements. This will present a dynamic option that your guests will surely like and remember always.
