Wedding season has arrived so this week is dedicated to wine at weddings.  Whether you are planning your own or attending someone else’s,  you bet wine will be part of the celebration.

Brides (& Grooms), why not make it a wine wedding?  We have some ideas on how you can incorporate it before the wedding, during the ceremony, or at the reception.

Before the Wedding:  Sure you can use cork as a place card holder or people can sign a cork for the wedding guest book, but why not use cork for the save the dates.  These ‘its more than a crush’ are beautiful and unique.

The Ceremony:  Instead of unity candles or pouring sand, celebrate your unity with a wine ceremony.  The Rose is a symbol of love and it is the color that will be created when you pour together white and red wine.  The blend is a symbol of the couples love together.

Another idea is a time capsule.  Fill a pretty wooden box with love letters, mementos, a good bootle of wine (& one that ages) and nail it shut during the ceremony.  Keep it in a cool, dry place and open it on a special anniversary!

The Reception: I love, love, love the look of wine barrels used as tables.  You can use them as cocktail tables or tables to serve food and drinks.  Very rustic, chic!

Put wine bottles at each table with a customized wine label.  You can use them for the table number, dinner menu, or just a cute photo of the bride and groom.

Lastly, and maybe most importantly, thank all of your of-aged guests for coming by giving them a bottle of your favorite wine.  It’ll top off your fabulous day for all your guests.
