Vineyard Wedding Tips
Now that you have gotten venue ideas for your vineyard wedding, it’s time to add the details. Here are vineyard wedding tips you can incorporate for a memorable wedding day celebration.
Décor Ideas
A cask is a no-question vineyard icon. Seeing a piece or two of these barrels will make any guest agree that they are in a vineyard wedding. You can use casks as decors for your vineyard wedding in four ways.
Altar Backdrop

Arrange jewel-toned flowers and white candles on top of them. Afterwards, put them at the altar to serve as a backdrop while exchanging vows.
Wine Wall

Another way to use these wooden casks is to create a wall of casks to elevate the extravagance of your vineyard wedding.
Station Markers

Also, you can use casks as wine-tasting station markers. Atop a rustic barrel, adorn a candle holder with pastel-coloured flowers and lady finger candles.
Ceiling Decoration

Last, use a cask-shaped chandelier atop a boho peacock chair to inject a boho vibe.
Vineyard Wedding Bridesmaid Dress

A vineyard wedding can be a formal, semi-formal, or casual event. So, to ensure your bridesmaids enjoy the benefit of traditional fashion and the comfort of casual attire, you can let them wear a maxi dress. It is a long dress that reaches down to the ankles or sometimes the floor. A maxi dress comes in light cotton or polyester and different colours and patterns. It may be an informal dress, but it still looks sophisticated enough for a wedding.

Attire for Guests in a Vineyard Wedding
It might be tempting to set the traditional reddish marsala hue as the guest attire colour. But for a fresh romantic, and intimate feel, request your guests to come in deep blue or green-blue outfits. Ladies can wear floor-length dresses with or without sleeves. You can recommend a scarf or cardigan to keep them warm in the chilly evening if they go sleeveless. And a hat with huge flowers will complete their look. Then, the gentlemen can wear their suits, favourite blazers, and pants. A navy suit, navy blazer, or grey suit and tie would be appropriate.
Vineyard Wedding Activities
What’s a vineyard wedding without wine-related activities like wine tasting and grape stomping?
Wine Tasting
Image source:Swidrakco
Bring out the inner-oenologist of your guests with an exceptional wine-tasting experience. With every wedding course during the reception, pair each meal with a different wine. Together with your guests, immerse in an enjoyable and informative vineyard experience.
Grape Stomping

Bring in the fun to your vineyard wedding reception with grape-treading or grape-stomping. Traditional winemakers do this to release the juices without crushing the grape seeds and to hasten the fermentation. As a result, people enjoy smoother and more intense-flavoured wines. So, go barefoot with your groom, entourage, and guests during the reception. Stomp on freshly-picked grapes and expect laughter to fill the place.
Wedding Dinner Party
Welcome your closest and dearest guests to an enchanting vineyard wedding party with these romantic details on your big day.
Under the Stars Reception
Image source:Pinterest - Wedding Venue
Set up long tables and slotted chairs under the setting sun or star-filled night sky. Pop in flowers, foliage, and candles as centrepieces, and allow the surrounding greenery and blue sky to create a breathtaking backdrop.
Sparkling Table Details
Top the gold-lined plate chargers with gold-leaf menu markers for an elegant dining experience.
Vineyard Wedding Favours

Express your gratitude for your guests' attendance with wood-top personalized wine stoppers. Engrave your and your partner's names, monogram, and wedding date. These wine stoppers will be budget-friendly yet elegant mementoes for your vineyard wedding.
A Romantic Takeaway
While gardens, beaches, and rolling hills are breathtaking, vineyards also have their unexplainable magic. Even without the grand decors, a vineyard can make an event memorable. The quiet and quaint location can offer an instant dramatic and scenic setting.
