Decorating for a Wine Theme Wedding
A wine wedding theme is popular among brides living from Napa
Valley to the Finger Lakes Region. Your wedding reception
doesn’t have to be held in a vineyard in order to achieve the
ambiance of the wine regions. Simple elegant decorations at your
wedding reception will leave your guests feeling that they have
been enjoying festivities at a beautiful winery.

Location is important for your wine theme wedding. If you are
able to book your wedding at a winery you have locale on your
side. Other lovely locations for a wine theme wedding are a park
with wine arbor reception areas or a conservatory that lends a
botanical feel to the reception area. You want to create the
feel of a warm afternoon spent in wine country with friends.
Decorating for the wine theme wedding can be easy if you know
where to get your decorations. Table decorations are easy to
make yourself using faux grapes and decorations easily found in
mass retail and craft stores. You can use tulle material and
pool it in the middle of the table then place faux grapes and
grape leaves in the middle either flat on the table or use a
cake platter to elevate it.
Using real grapes for this decoration is great for your
reception goers to nibble on while waiting for the meal to be
served. Pair the grape decoration with cheese cubes and a bottle
of wine and you will have many happy guests.
Other decorations for a wine theme wedding include wine barrels,
half barrels with flowers planted in them, and grape trellis’
with faux grape vines and grapes attached to them. All of these
materials are easily obtained at your local greenhouse or do it
yourself hardware store.
A wine theme wedding cake can be the centerpiece of your
reception. There are many variations on the grape theme from
cascading grapes, white or purple grape decorated cake, vineyard
fantasy and grape vines and leaves. Cake toppers for the wedding
cake can be traditional, faux grapes and leaves or candy grapes
and leaves.
Wine theme wedding decorations for the reception hall and
archway are plentiful. Consider using frosted grape clusters in
glass bowls; use lighted frosted faux grapes for an evening
reception hung in an archway and lay across tabletops. Grape
garlands are popular when used on tabletops as are grape wreaths
surrounding pillar candles on the tables. Grape garlands are
very pretty when wound around archways and columns.
Don’t forget to include wine charms for your guest’s wine
glasses. These come in many different colors and designs from
metal to plastic. They are a fun way for each guest at a table
to remember which glass is theirs when they return from the
dance floor. Grape leaf paper coasters are also a unique way to
decorate your reception tables. Not only are the faux grape
leaves effective as coasters they are also a great way to
display cheese or other canapés on plates at each table.
Wine theme wedding favors can be as elegant as you wish. Popular
favors include jars of champagne jelly, chocolate dipped grapes
given in ribbon tied cello wrap, marzipan grapes given in small
grape vine baskets wrapped in cellophane and tied with a ribbon
and porcelain boxes with tiny grapes and leaves with tiny gifts
for the wedding party members.
If you’d rather leave the planning to the professionals,
consider having a destination wedding. These locations will plan
your wedding down to the last detail with you and they are held
at wineries or vineyards. They provide the food, wine, music,
decorations and sometimes lodging. Best of all, destination
weddings provide the perfect ambiance for a wine theme wedding.
