Personalized wedding winePersonalized wines might just be the perfect final touch to your Bay Area wedding celebration. You can use personalized wines as part of your centerpieces, pour personalized wines at your wedding reception or use personalized wines as bridal party gifts.

There are independent wine consultants at WineShop At Home, who will work with you to put your wedding photo on bottles of sparkling wine, cabernet, merlot and chardonnay. You can order personalized wines by the case (12 bottles) or by the gift box. And the turnaround time is usually a matter of days, but plan ahead just to be sure.

Here's how it works: Wedding couples can put their photo and/or names on wines that they have available and use the wines for centerpieces, attendee gifts or bridal party gifts. You can choose a personalized wines, such as a chardonnay, a merlot, a cabernet or a sparkling wine. If you don't schedule a tasting you can actually do it in a matter of minutes. Basically from their web site, you click on the wine you want for your wedding reception, you create your label and say okay. Your wine gets delivered in days.
 
You can order as little as one case of personalized wines for your wedding unless you get the gift boxes which don't seem to have a minimum.
 
The cost for personalized wedding wines is fairly reasonable. It's not that much more than your normal fine wines you'll get at the typical wineries in Sonoma or Napa.

They can also schedule wedding-related wine activities.

There are in-home wine tastings good at a bridal shower, whether it be a woman-only or a couple shower. You can also get stemware and other wine-related gifts.
