Tuscan Farmhouse Wedding


Feel like having an Italian wedding? Why not decorate your tables like a Tuscan farm feast? Bread sticks, heirloom tomatoes, olives....the three varying heights entrance the eye and the colors and scents make everyone feel like they are in Tuscany, (even if they're really in Chicago!)    Serve with some hearty Tuscan fare for dinner and you are set!  A destination wedding without ever leaving home!  Photo courtesy of Martha Stewart.
