Five Tips for Designing a Vintage Tuscany Themed Wedding

Have you ever dreamed of having a Tuscan themed wedding in the Tuscany countryside but don’t have the resources to travel all the way to Italy?  Well, you don’t have to travel half way around the world to make your dream wedding a reality.  Here in California there are so many great wineries complete with rolling hills and sunset views that you can have your wedding at and the great thing is you do not need a passport!

The following are six tips to help you get started in creating a Tuscan vintage themed wedding:

  1. For us here at Inspirations by Gina when we think of the word vintage it makes us think of soft lace, beautiful details and rustic abandonment.  Also, we envision Tuscany with rolling hills, wine barrels, Italian cypresses and sunflowers.  When creating your Tuscan vintage theme, make sure that you mix earthy rough elements with softer fabrics and vintage pieces so that your wedding doesn’t look like a bad garage sale.
  2. Pick venue a that has an Old World vibe to it; it can be a winery, a hotel that is near a vineyard or even a private estate.
  3. Don’t overdo it with florals. Remember to have balance and that your venue’s landscape will probably speak for itself in terms of beauty so why over compensate?
  4. When you are figuring out how to decorate for your wedding, you don’t need a whole lot to get the look you want. Every detail doesn’t have to match exactly; it’s called mismatch perfection! You want to pair your décor with the surroundings.  Try pairing your tables with flowy fabrics and mix them with materials such as rustic wood, metal and/or brick to have contrast and texture.  Too much of a good thing makes everything look overdone and harsh.
  5. Pick a range of colors and don’t feel like you have to choose a maximum of three colors. Look at what the venue offers both interior and exterior, you will be surprised by what inspires you. Don’t be afraid to experiment.  You will know what is right when you see it.

We contacted Gina to provide a Dallas Cowboys themed flower arrangement for a large pedestal table located in the vestibule of the venue we were holding our loved one’s celebration of life service. With very little input from me Gina created the most beautiful arrangement and it was a show stopper! We appreciate Gina her professional attitude and creativity in our very difficult time. That arrangement put smiles on our faces all night long! Thanks Gina!

I've had the opportunity to work with as well as utilize Gina's floral services and design skills. This had been mostly when designing events for the Sacramento chapter of NACE. She has always delivered on her commitments with class, consistently, efficiently and with a flair of creativeness. Trust and invest properly and you will be more than pleased with your decision.

Gina is the kind of florist that you come across once in a lifetime. She is talented, thoughtful, and has the gift of conveying emotion through her work. A group of friends and I reached out to Gina to help us show support to a friend whose grandmother had passed away. She was incredible to work with and created a stunning arrangement that she delivered with great care. I can't recommend Gina enough!
