The more fun you have with putting all the elements together, the better it will turn out. I had so much fun putting all the pieces together — I even hired a musician to play for the duration of the party to add warmth and ambiance to the room! Sometimes it’s the smallest detail that completes a party.
In addition to the props and fabrics, food was also used to tie in color and theme.

Grapes, for example, made a great accent to the room décor by incorporating them into an arrangement.

To enhance the vineyard feeling of the evening, I used wine corks as filler in the bottom of a clear vase. Simple, elegant and eco-friendly!

Along the same lines, ceramic baskets were used instead of ice buckets to chill the white wines. Flowers, like roses, carnations and hydrangeas, were arranged to decorate the wine baskets and make them more appealing.

Many of the materials, like the soda crate and barrel, came from flea markets that I love to frequent throughout New England!

One of my favorite elements of the evening were the “wine corsages” that were created as decorative accents to some of our favorite bottles of wine. This would also be a lovely parting gift for guests!
