Italy, I’m sure you agree, is a country of passion, romance, dreams, and love. More and more couples are opting for a Tuscany wedding, a location where you can quickly fall in love with its green rolling hills, tall cypress and olive trees, and grapevines that produce the most exquisite wine.
This location is well-known for its old buildings and exquisite art treasures, which may provide a wedding setting that is almost fairy tale-like. If you’ve only recently begun to consider this location for your wedding, the photos in the gallery below will provide you with a good indication of what to expect. Look around and be inspired!
Tuscan Theme Wedding Ideas
Most of us (at least I did!) fantasize about being married in Tuscany. However, the cost of making that a reality can cause you to wake up very early.
While a trip to Italy with your family and friends may not be in the cards for your wedding, that doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate some of the best aspects of the wine country into your celebration here in the United States.
You can easily create a Tuscany wedding theme without paying the price of two roundtrip plane tickets to Florence, whether you’re being married in a backyard, patio, restaurant, or other rustic wedding site.
The style details that will help to change the venue and create a great atmosphere for guests to enjoy are one of the most significant factors in arranging any wedding.
You’ve come to the correct place if you’re looking for some Tuscany wedding styling ideas. Keep reading for some of our favorite styling ideas to help you bring your Italian party to life, from color palettes to flowers and decor.
Tuscan Theme Wedding Decorations
Tuscany is exceedingly beautiful and hospitable in and of itself, so you won’t need much in the way of decor; simply take use of and highlight the venue’s charm. Choose an olive grove for your wedding ceremony, a flower or greenery wedding arch, or no arch at all – who needs one when there are so many beautiful Italian gardens nearby?
Depending on your wedding style, your wedding tablescape might be more elegant or more informal and comfortable. Greenery, such as foliage and olive leaves, lemons and peppers, tomatoes in bowls, and even spaghetti, should be used to decorate the tables.
Blooms and foliage are too typical, but if you want a highly sophisticated wedding reception venue, you can go this route as well. Don’t forget to illuminate the spaces with plenty of candles and perhaps sophisticated chandeliers over the reception.
Our recommendation is to consider the type of ambience you want to create, as well as your location and personal taste. What do you want the overall appearance and feel of your wedding to be?
For a relaxing farmhouse wedding, for example, a rustic, earthy appearance might be ideal. Combine long wood tables with wooden chairs, wine barrels, and terracotta pots to produce this aesthetic.
Mix metal and wood decor for a sleek modern industrial effect. Soft linen tablecloths, white dining chairs, and decorative dinnerware such as gold silverware and crystal glassware can be used for a more sophisticated and romantic look. This style is ideal for a wedding in a private villa, a garden, or a medieval castle.
Color Schemes Inspiration
The first step in planning a Tuscan wedding is deciding on a color scheme. Take inspiration from our natural surroundings and the colors you see in the Tuscan environment for a truly authentic Tuscan wedding style — olive green, earthy woods, terracotta, beige, and soft greys are all ideal natural colors for a Tuscan wedding.
Romantic pastel tones such as blush pink, white, peach, dusty blue, and lilac can also be used to create a pop of color (or for a winter wedding in Tuscany, darker colours like burgundy and plum work beautifully). Add a touch of bronze, silver, or gold to your color palette for a refined, timeless style!
Flower Arrangements
Greenery plays a big role in Tuscan wedding styling. Olive leaf is a must-have for a true Tuscan style, and it may be used in a variety of ways. Olive leaf can be used in bouquets, table runners, and even a small sprig on each napkin.
To keep things simple and classic, combine your greenery with lovely pastel flowers in white, blush, and peach tones. You might also add seasonal fruits such as lemons, grapes, or figs for a more rustic and realistic look.
Lighting
After sunset, mood lighting is one of the most effective ways to create an intimate and romantic atmosphere. Strings of glittering festoon lights strung over guest tables, or statement chandeliers for something more dramatic, are ideal for Tuscany wedding styling.
Table lanterns, votives, and dispersed candles complete the scene, adding charm and a gentle, enchanting glow to dance the night away in!
Wedding Food Ideas
To be honest, I can’t think of a more wonderful, fantastic, or mouth-watering dish in the world than Italian cuisine. Allow your visitors to partake in all of the great local appetizers, dishes, fruits and vegetables, meat and cheese, and olive oil as favors.
Make great wedding food bars and stations, such as an olive and olive oil sampling bar, a cheese and grapes tasting bar, a little pizza bar, and a fantastic grazing table with various meats, cheeses, nuts, and berries.
Make a millefoglie wedding cake or a lovely cheese wheel wedding cake with grapes and adorable Italian wine. A gelato bar is also a good idea, especially if the day is hot and the guests need to cool off. Enjoy!
