The Theme

To honor their shared Italian heritage, Renee and Michael decided to give their wedding the feeling of an evening in Tuscany. They chose wine, maroon, and sage hues, a variation on the red and green of Italy's flag. Old-fashioned frames displayed family members' wedding photos and explanations of Italian traditions, and each table was named for a city in Italy. And guests found their places with place cards the couple designed to resemble luggage tags that were displayed beside an old map of Italy and a vintage suitcase.
