A trend now in weddings is to go with an Italian theme. Italian food, beautiful music, and Jasmine flowers. In Italy brides often wear Jasmine in their hair during the wedding for good luck. The Jasmine flower symbolizes grace, elegance and joy.
Your table decor should be simple yet elegant. If you are going with Italian food you can have baskets of bread with cruets of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. A simple decorative bowl with fresh flowers and Italian candles should be on each table. The bowls can be just white or in a pattern of color that coordinates with your chosen wedding colors. Bella Lume makes beautiful candles that you can use on your table. They are named and fragranced after cities in Italy and can be set on each table next to the bowls of fresh flowers. Have the waiters light the candles just before dinner.
The most important part of your decor will be in the lighting. If it is a night wedding use garland with battery string lights to create an alluring feel. You can do this indoors or in a tent setting. If you are lucky enough to have a venue that has a water fountain you can add fresh flowers to the fountain. You can use garland swagged in front of the bride and groom's table with soft string lighting wrapped around the garland. Look for ornate paper lights to hang through the room. Between the candlelight, the sting lights and the lanterns, the mood in the room will be magical and romantic.
Your background music for seating and through dinner should be light classic. Light classical music is relaxing and romantic and will do a lot to enhance feeling that you are creating in the room. Imagine the soft lighting, the amazing separation from your Italian candles, and the beautiful romantic music in the background.
Italian food can be served buffet style, or even family style where platters of pasta are served to each table. You already have your bread on the table. In addition to your pasta dish you would only have add an amazing salad and the meal is complete.
The choices are endless for your cake. You could even serve tiramisu which is an Italian dessert consisting of layers of sponge cake soaked with coffee and liqueur layered with mascarpone cheese. Another option in addition to a cake would be to have the waiters serve a small platter of cannolis to each table. A cannoli is a fried pastry roll with a creamy filling.
Italian wedding themes are becoming so popular because the Italian culture is all about family, food and beautiful music. What more could you ask for on your wedding day than to incorporate all of this into what will be one of the most important days of your life.
