When planning a wedding, there are so many indulgent details to obsess over. Jen and I have had so much fun over the past few months of our wedding planning indulging in private, at-home wine tastings with potential wedding wines. It was great couple-bonding and became a big obsession of mine (though certainly a fun obsession)! Our wedding venue provided its own catering and wine list. We took a look at the list, tried a few, were vaguely disappointed and decided to choose our own and have them order it. We tried to say within the $10-15/bottle price point because the venue will mark it up 300%. This was a fun process and I encourage all my clients to enjoy it as well.
Choosing the right wine for your wedding can be a wonderful theme-related detail. For example, I had clients last year who had a travel-themed wedding. Their custom-designed wedding invitations (above) were boarding passes. Their table names were photos of places they'd been. And so on. The details were great, up to and including their red wine selection, Boarding Pass Shiraz, selected not only because it was thematic but also because they enjoyed the wine.
What kind of wine did you choose for your wedding?
