Al Fresco Vineyard Anniversary Dinner

This romantic vineyard anniversary dinner is inspired by Italy and, of course, love! In turn, it is inspiring us to explore vineyards, celebrate anniversaries, and take advantage of these special moments. Photographer, Sarah Pascutti and Tiffany, of Hart & Co. Events, set the beautiful al fresco dinner table for this couple’s second marriage anniversary. And when it comes to romance, they nailed it. We can’t envision a better way to celebrate such a milestone. What more could you ask for than a dreamy setting, beautiful red flowers, and a bottle of wine all enjoyed with the one you love? It sounds idyllic. The pair donned a killer red jumpsuit and khaki and blue suit, which made it all look even better. (If that was even possible). We hope you enjoy this stunning anniversary shoot as much as we do…

Sarah shares, After my first trip to Italy earlier this year, I came back feeling inspired by everything from their colorful architecture and rich history to their cobblestone streets. And not to mention the fact that Nutella is a staple. (How has this not caught on here?!). I was most inspired, though, by the importance placed on a good meal. I’m not merely talking about delicious food but about who you choose to spend your meals with. And also about the quality of time spent together. So often, we’re caught up in the rush of things that we forget to be present with the ones we love. And to maybe forego time limits and social media for extra dessert and deep conversations, and enjoy a nice, romantic night out together.

When I returned, I knew it was time to put this inspiration into action! My love of, well, true love, vineyards in bloom, and bold, colorful outfits, mixed with the planner’s affinity for bright flowers and antique china, really came together. We think it’s the perfect date with your better half!

If al fresco dining in a gorgeous setting at sunset paired with love notes from the couple’s favorite quotes on marriage wasn’t enough to make my romantic side want to cartwheel all along those rows of vines, the best part of all was that the shoot fell on the couple’s ACTUAL anniversary! What they planned on being a simple night in, turned out to be an extra special date, celebrating their second year of marriage. It was filled with passion, romance, and laughter. (And tons of photos to be cherished for a lifetime).

This was everything I dreamed up in my head and more! It’s not just for the perfect looking set-up and social-media worthy photo, but to truly celebrate love! We wanted to remind ourselves to celebrate not only before the wedding or on the day of. Instead, we want to celebrate this beautiful gift of marriage and unconditional love continuously, in whatever fun, colorful ways we choose! Cheers to many more anniversaries!
