Tuscan Theme Favors

If you or your fiancé have any Italian ties and would like to make your wedding stand out, a Tuscan theme wedding is one of the most beautiful, romantic ways to celebrate your special day. Tuscan or Italian country style is simple but at the same time elegant. One of the key components is the décor. The Tuscan décor provides a place where you and your guest can relax and enjoy one another’s company. Tuscany, a region found in the middle of Italy is world renown for its wonderful food, farm houses, vineyards, olive groves, and beautiful scenery. Try to plan your wedding ceremony/and or reception at a country club, a garden, Italian restaurant, or in an old winery. Use earthy color schemes such as gold and red and shades of purple and green. For centerpieces you can use wine glasses or wine bottles, bottles filled with Italian Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar, votive candles with grape design, sunflowers in pots, decorative bowls filled with grapes, candles shaped like grapes and so on. Include some traditional Italian customs into your wedding such as wedding favor gifts. Some suggestions are beautiful Olive Oil Bottles filled with Imported Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, decorative bottles filled with Imported Italian Balsamic Vinegar, Italian espresso cups in decorative gift boxes, wine coasters, and wine stoppers, One thing you need to include if you are having an Italian tradition, are the imported Italian Confetti almonds with your favors. Make sure that you fill the mesh bags with odd numbers of almonds, three or five. Even numbers are considered bad luck. Five almonds symbolize love, longevity, fidelity, fertility and happiness. For your place card sittings, take a look at the Allure Glass Grape Place Card holders. Adds an elegant touch to direct your family and guest to their tables.
