Whether you are recreating an autumn vineyard indoors for your wedding or decorating a vineyard for a fall wedding, the color scheme should complement your wedding atmosphere. Because the deep greens and purples of grapes in vineyards go well with fall foliage, you can focus on enhancing the natural colors for an eye-catching decor. Vineyards can bring to mind romance, class and love, which suit a wedding.
Place Cards
Format the wedding guests' place cards to complement the vineyard theme as well as the autumn season. Choose burnt orange, yellow and red stationery and cut each place card in the shape of a maple leaf. Write each guest's name on the leaf. Break a small sprig of red grapes off of a bunch and pin the stem to the place cards. This creates a tasty place card presentation as well as a visually appealing setting that enhances the themes of your wedding.
Centerpieces
Choose a rustic looking bowl, such as a ceramic dish with hand painting or stencil work on the sides. Fill the bowl with water, and place several floating candles in the water. Choose candles with foliage colors of reds, oranges and yellows. Place the bowl on top of a tray and arrange bunches of grapes on the plate. Place a similar centerpiece on each guest table. This also can serve as an appetizer as well as a distinctive display of the autumn and vineyard themes.
Bistro
To add a European feel, create a bistro atmosphere for a wedding that is either indoors or outdoors. Set up small, bistro-style wrought iron tables and chairs, and set the tables with crisp white linens and china. Add a bottle of wine and some glasses to complement the vineyard theme. Create a fall centerpiece on the table to combine the themes. For example, place a small pumpkin, kumquats, purple grapes and squashes in a bowl for a colorful array.
