A rustic wedding is perfect for the gal that loves all the beauty that the country has to offer. The color palette that Mother Nature offers a bride-to-be can create the foundation for a country wedding. Colors such as gold, sage, blue, lavender, rust and coffee are colors used in country weddings. There are several ways to create the country wedding of your dreams.
Wedding Themes
Build your rustic wedding on a theme that is often associated with country living. Some possibilities include themes such as butterflies, lady bugs, bees or dragonflies. Or use a favorite flower such as black eyed-susans, yellow sunflowers, daisies or lavender. Or go with autumn colors and the color pallet found in fall leaves. Use the colors found in your theme throughout your wedding to create a sense of unity.
Country Wedding Venues
Choose a venue that matches this wedding theme. Some good choices include an inn, an old country church, log cabin or a barn. Or if you want a more natural location try a garden, campground or cornfield. The timing of a country wedding needs to be considered carefully, especially if you want to hold it outdoors. A late spring wedding is a good choice because you avoid annoying bugs and wilted flowers. A barn wedding without some type of indoor heating is much too cold for late summer or early fall.
Country Wedding Décor
Since it's a country wedding, look to mother nature to supply the decorations. Add a touch of country wherever you want to draw attention to a focal point. Use items such as twigs, raffia, corn, and wheat sheaves on arches, banisters, doorways and aisles. Old wheelbarrows filled with hay, wooden signs or picnic basket also give a room that country feeling. Highlight the beauty of a country inn or barn with strands of twinkling lights. The soft lighting will enhance the colors of your natural décor.
Table Centerpieces
Thrift shops, garage sales and flea markets can yield interesting treasures for your centerpieces. Scour these places for collection of mix and match vases or containers. Watering cans, tin baskets or buckets make attractive centerpieces containers if you want large bouquets of country flowers. Or use a random assortment of drinking glasses with a single flower for a charming eclectic look.
