Any ideas or advice for getting married at a vineyard?
Any personal recommendations for vineyards you’ve worked with in Oregon or Washington? I was thinking jewel or sherbet colors and local flowers and herbs for the bouquets and arrangements. Are there any special considerations I will have to make because of the location? I want it at sunset with appetizers and wine afterwards…but I need:

I would absolutely do personalized wine for your favors.
I am not getting married an actual vinyard, but having a French theme so the local winery is bottling wine for me and affixing a custom label on each bottle. We are giving 1 full size bottle per couple or single guest.
It is a little pricey, but will be a nice touch. I am getting them at $6.30 per bottle since I am buying 100 bottles. The labels are a seperate cost and are $5.00 per sheet of 6. so another $83.00
I would stick with the jewel colors for a vinyard. I always think of deep violet or a dark red when I think of vinyards. Maybe apple green would look nice. Sage and ivory?
We are having a cake kinda like this one ( scroll down in the link until you find A7A) but our cake is 4 teirs.

Good luck.
Time Of Year:
Spring & Fall are beautiful at vineyards.
Colours:
Any colours would be BEAUTIFUL as long as you like them!

I prefer Washington State
Appetizers:
A lot of wineries will have a list of caters you can use and they will have there own list of appetizers, but here are some examples..
- Goat Cheese on Crackers
- Local Fruits
- Salmon on Baguettes w/ cream cheese
- Shishkabobs (spelling?)
Invitations:
Order them online or make them yourself, maybe have a wine bottle on the front or ivy looking photos or grape bunches.
Ideas for Favors:
- Wine Glasses (bought in bulk) filled with candies
- Cork Screw Sets
- Wine Bottle Stop (reusable corks)
- Candies in a Bag
- Cookie Cutter w/ a recipe for your favorite cookie.
- Pamphlet with recipes that use Wine.
