Tuscany, a hilly region near the middle of Italy, is renowned for its red wines, magnificent scenery, and simply sophisticated cuisine \u2026 not to mention the medieval charm of its walled towns, castles and fortresses. Then, there are the olive groves, vineyards and rambling farmhouses, and that dreamy blue sky.<\/p>\n

\"Tuscan

If you or your fianc\u00e9 have Italian ties, a Tuscan theme wedding is a great way to celebrate them. And even if you don\u2019t, the Tuscan or Italian country theme is a great way to make the most of any outdoor setting.<\/p>\n

The cornerstone of the Tuscan theme is simple elegance. Often, this theme shows up in vineyards, country clubs, and manicured gardens. It\u2019s also a good choice for Italian-theme banquet rooms or restaurants (especially those with arches, columns or warmly-colored stucco).<\/p>\n

Decorating for your Tuscan-Theme Wedding<\/h2>\n

Start with the signature colors of Tuscany: gold and a color actually known as Tuscan red, which leans toward brick. Olive makes a great (and traditional) accent. But you can choose any color combination you want.<\/p>\n

After that, simply think about what makes a vineyard romantic. Hanging lanterns let your reception linger into the evening. Parasols give your bridal party a graceful, old-world look. Tiered fountains add gallons of ambiance.<\/p>\n

How you go about the nuts and bolts from here really depends on your tastes. For a relaxed look, draw on the graphics of vintage Italian wine posters, or old-world maps. Scan in your favorites and use these to turn out one-of-a-kind table cards or invitations. Display your table cards over wine bottles topped with a slotted cork.<\/p>\n

You could also create (or buy) rustic cork placecard holders. For whimsical look, light up key tables and focal points with grape cluster string lights.<\/p>\n
