Sauvignon Blanc: Rustic Wedding Style

Your wedding style will evoke a rustic vibe if your favorite wine is a dry Sauvignon Blanc. Sauvignon Blanc is known for its intense aromatics and crisp acidity, which pairs well with any outdoorsy setting. This means we can totally envision you pulling off a laid-back, rustic bash. Exchange “I dos” overlooking an open pasture and fill your reception with soft accents, greenery garlands, and other woodsy elements to evoke the ultimate countryside fete.

Chardonnay: Classic Wedding Style

Chardonnay is a staple for couples with a classic wedding style, since the vino features rich varietals, like vanilla or butter, and is perfect for any type of evening. The popular white wine  echoes a traditional wedding style since its always been an elegant and tasteful option. From buttery Chardonnay to a full-bodied oak, if your drink of choice is Chardonnay, then we know your big day will be filled with sophistication and class.

Pinot Grigio: Whimsical Wedding Style

The sweet taste of Pinot Grigio definitely means you have a playful, whimsical wedding style. You enjoy zesty flavors so we think filling your ceremony and reception space with offbeat details will help match your vibrant taste. Opt for watercolor invitations or a bouquet filled with wild florals and fern, in order to achieve a wedding style that’s as flavorful as this refreshing glass of vino.

Riesling: Tropical Wedding Style

Like the floral aromas of a white Riesling, your wedding style will mimic this fruity wine in a beachy, tropical way. Choose bright and bold colors like fuchsia, teal, orange, and yellow, and pick a setting that overlooks a body of water. Your love for the almost perfumed Riesling means your wedding should also be filled with cheerful and Caribbean-inspired elements, like pineapple aisle markers or citrus fruit centerpiece accents!

Merlot: Modern Wedding Style

If you’re obsessed with this full-bodied red wine then we think your wedding will be minimalist and modern.

In lieu of a traditional cake, opt for chocolate cupcakes or a donut bar for a modern twist. These contemporary touches pair perfectly with your love for this smooth red wine.
