You don't have to fly your wedding to Tuscany to get that old-world romance! Virginia has plenty of rolling hills and local florals to transport your party to the perfect wedding vibe. Bringing a European feel to your Virginia wedding is surprisingly simple. Focus first on your venue and then your decor.

With hundreds of venues to choose from, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect spot to say "I do." Luckily, Virginia has lots of unique venues that can evoke a European vibe, minus the transatlantic journey! We will focus on just a few that come to mind when thinking of "Tuscan wedding".

First, The Seclusion in Lexington is, bar none, the closest and most gorgeous example of European romance you will find for your wedding! The venue features large French doors, ornamental planters, and a ceremonial lawn with a beautiful flagstone aisle. The views and venue are unmatched.

Next on the list has to be The Ivy Rose Barn in Rocky Mount. Yes, it's a barn, but it's all white, and the gorgeous staircase sweeps down to mountain views. Designed by a photographer, there are tons of perfect photo ops here. Add in their gorgeous greenhouse, and your guests will be amazed.

King Family Vineyards in Charlottesville must be included for its delicious wine selection and beautiful views. This venue is easy for guests to access, with the parking and venue on flat land but stunning mountain views in the distance. They also host Polo matches here, and horses are often seen near their barn. Indoors, the venue evokes a rustic charm with its oversized fireplace.

All three venues offer indoor and outdoor spaces, air conditioning, gorgeous views, and wonderful hosts. Choosing the venue is an excellent start to your Tuscan dream wedding. Now, to make it unique, select your florals and decor.

Your color palette is a canvas for your creativity. Whether it's classic white and green or warmer colors of the setting sun, natural elements such as fresh florals, rustic china, and pottery will help evoke the easy charm of a Tuscan party. Add olive branches, greenery, and fruit to create an old-world feel!

When arranging florals for your Tuscan-style wedding, a loose, organic style comes to mind. This style is characterized by natural-looking arrangements, with flowers and greenery arranged to mimic how they are seen in nature. It's not too fussy or overdone; it's simply gorgeous and perfectly complements a Tuscan party's relaxed charm.

With the right venue and vendors, you can easily bring your Tuscan dream to life. Creating a Tuscan-inspired wedding is a dream come true right here in Southwest Virginia!
