Vineyard wedding: 5 reasons to make this choice

Written by ValdichianaLiving on 13 September 2023. Posted in blog.

For a destination wedding in Tuscany, the vineyard is the location of excellence.

Wine is certainly one of the treasures that makes Tuscany famous throughout the world. And there are so many suggestions that this excellent product comes with: there are those who travel to Tuscany to admire the rows of vines, which create unique landscapes, there are those who, as true connoisseurs, can’t wait to dive head first in unique tasting experiences. But there are also those who come to the vineyards of Tuscany to celebrate their special day. Why make this choice for your wedding? Here are just a few reasons:

A super original venue
If you love to surprise, an essential element of your wedding must be the location, unconventional and impressive. Well, the vineyards of Tuscany certainly respond to these characteristics! The rows of vines are the ideal setting for the actual wedding ceremony, helping to create a collected and intimate moment under the “protection” of the plants surrounding the bride and groom. And for the reception, there is space for a very long table that can welcome and keep friends and relatives together.
Cozy and casual atmosphere
A vineyard wedding, with the correct set-up, can become chic and elegant. But the atmosphere is absolutely cozy and casual. Being in close contact with nature helps make the big day authentic and relaxed. In short, the vineyard is the right location if what you imagine when thinking about the celebration of your union is a real party.
The ideal setting from spring fo fall
Are you still undecided about the wedding date? In the meantime, you can start selecting the location! From April to late September, the vineyards are ready to welcome newlyweds and guests. Of course, depending on the time of year, it will be necessary to adjust the start time of the event. While in the height of summer a wedding at sunset will be preferable, in spring and fall the party can last throughout the day… But pay attention to the harvest season! In September, the opinion of the winemakers will be decisive in establishing the day and time of the wedding.
Chic and unconventional set-ups
A vineyard wedding allows you to fully show off your creativity. There are only a few “rules” to respect and there are many ways to have fun! As for colours, it’s usually best to stick to nuances that recall nature, from green, to brown, to burgundy, without forgetting all the shades of white. As for the rest of the set-ups, the only limit is your imagination. You can use recycled objects and materials, take inspiration from country chic or boho, or opt for a more shabby look: what is important is that the result fully represents you.
Quality wines
Food plays its part, but if you get married in a vineyard in Tuscany, wine will undoubtedly take center stage. And you certainly won’t be disappointed: the many wine regions in this corner of Italy produce some of the most popular labels in the world. In Valdichiana Senese, a wedding in the vineyard means Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Trust the wineries who will be able to recommend the best combinations with typical local products and let yourself be won over by what will be an unprecedented food and wine experience.

Whether it is an intimate meeting or a large event, the hills of Valdichiana Senese are the perfect backdrop for creating memories of a special day.

Crowded and lively hamlets

If the historic centers are particularly romantic in the autumn and winter months, creating the perfect setting for a romantic escape in complete intimacy, it is in the summer that the hamlets become the ideal location for a celebration. Getting married in the historic center will allow you to come into contact with the local communities, who will welcome you among them and wish you well for your wedding. Furthermore, summer in Valdichiana Senese is the season of events: cultural events, historical re-enactments and concerts take place in the most beautiful squares of the area.

Bridal trends 2023: the most beautiful wedding dresses to shine with elegance

Written by ValdichianaLiving on 23 August 2022. Posted in trend.

The dress for the big day is the dream of many women and perhaps, with few exceptions, the most important dress. That’s why when the time comes to choose, it’s important to plan it in good time, face it with the utmost serenity, keep in mind a few “rules” of bon ton and gather as much information as possible on the fashion trends of the moment to adapt them to one’s own physique and taste, so you will look marvellous and impeccable!

According to etiquette, for example, one should not enter the church with bare shoulders and back. If the bride is fond of necklines, a shoulder cover or a fairly opaque veil can be considered. Following, however, the must-have trends for wedding dresses 2022, it emerges that:

1. The slightly daring above-the-knee short dress (finally) conquers the altars,surprising everyone;
2. The boho chic style is very much in vogue and makes the bride more casual, less constructed, without sacrificing sophistication;
3. Flowers are the undisputed stars of this season and decorate almost all the summer 2022 wedding dresses, especially in relief for a graceful and romantic effect. And it is immediately “Botticelli’s Spring”;
4. Pastel colours seem to be the most popular alternative for the less traditional bride who chooses a dress that is certainly original and delicate, but also a lot of fun!
5. The volumes become maxi, à la ‘Lady Diana’;
6. A retro taste pervades the catwalks, especially those of Chanel and Blumarine: flounces, puffed sleeves, fringes and little crowns in the hair immediately create a nostalgic effect and still captivate;
7. Tulle is by far the most widely used fabric and gives the dress breadth and dreaminess;
8. Maxi bows finish dresses and are artfully constructed, becoming the most important bridal details this season;
9. Lace never goes out of fashion and this year we have the proof: just think of Hailey Bibier’s mermaid gown by Off-White. Timeless;
10. Sustainability is the leitmotif of this year’s wedding and is reflected in the choice of ethical models made from recycled fabrics.
