Y’all already know that I am all about the details when it comes to wedding decor, and when it comes to winelands weddings, there are a couple of details that can really add an elegantly rustic vineyard ‘theme’ to complement the venue. We’ll be rounding up a whole lot of these ideas soon, but for today, we’re focusing on one of my favourites: wooden wine barrels. I never get tired of seeing these at real weddings – I don’t know why, but there’s something so romantic about them as a feature piece, maybe because they bring to mind the French countryside, or a vintage cellar. Whatever the reason, they’re lovely, and the good news is that they’re also pretty versatile in terms of how you can use them. Here are 15 of my favourite ideas from around the web.

1. Bar or cocktail station

2. Escort or favour table

3. Cake stand

4. Dessert table

5. Cheese or charcuterie station

6. Flower stand

7. Table for ceremony programmes & favours

8. Aisle decor (foot of aisle)

9. Aisle decor (head of aisle)

10. Recycling bins

11. Signage

12. Escort card display

13. Cocktail tables

14. Guest book alternative

15. Drinks ‘bath’
