Despite attending the same high school, Bailey and Justin’s love story didn’t start until they happened to bump into each other at a restaurant in their hometown years later. They started chatting and agreed to go on a date at a local fishing spot, which was a special place for Bailey as her father used to take her there as a little girl. Naturally, when it came time for Justin to propose, there was only one place to pop the question! Bailey said yes, and the pair immediately got to planning their engagement party. Hosted at Bailey’s family’s vineyard, Tuscan Rose Vineyards, and captured by Nikki Golden Photography, an Italian Market theme felt like a fitting way to create the energy of a place where community gathers!
Theme inspo: “Off the Market”
Guests were welcomed with a sign featuring the same watercolor Italian-inspired fruit and vegetable imagery used for the “Off the Market” themed invitations.
Creating your own Italian market
Inside the indoor reception space, guest tables were set with vibrant centerpieces made up of red, yellow, and orange flowers. Greenery crept up umbrellas that stood between tables for a true terrazzo experience. Each place setting featured a gold-rimmed plate with a red linen napkin and a menu of “market offerings.”
