If you’ve recently been engaged, that means it’s time to redirect your overwhelming feelings of joy and excitement towards planning your special day! With contemporary trends slightly taking a backseat, more and more people are pushing for rustic, vintage ceremonies — but with a modern twist, making the term “rustic chic” more in line with their vision.

If you’re ready to begin the planning phase of your bid day and are interested in having it at Jonathan Edwards Winery, one of the best vineyard wedding venues in Coastal Connecticut, we have tips that will help you make it as perfect as you envisioned it would be 

Make the Most of the Landscape

One benefit of having a wedding surrounded by growing grapes is that you won’t need to purchase as many flowers. Our vineyard has an abundance of natural beauty that offers the perfect ambiance for your special day. Take advantage of our unique space for your ceremony (and of course, pictures afterward). 

Get the Right Décor

For a rustic chic theme, choose natural wood tones and vintage accents. If they fit your theme, even the smallest details won’t go unnoticed. Use high-quality linens and utensils for tables with natural-tone floral arrangements for a chic and elegant touch. 

Choose Your Caterer 

One of the most common takeaways at a wedding is their food. Be sure to choose a caterer that understands your vision. At Jonathan Edwards Winery, we work closely with three exclusive caterers that have years of experience in providing delicious courses for large events. Before you settle on a caterer, be sure to go for a tasting! 

Pair Food With Wine

Work with your caterer of choice to determine which of our wines best complements your menu. Our knowledgeable staff will also be able to work with you through this process, providing a vast assortment of options to pair with your courses. 

Make a Signature Drink

When guests RSVP for a vineyard wedding, they expect to drink — so give the people what they want with a signature beverage! If you want to keep the theme going, take a look at the infographic below for three creative wine cocktails:
