Some wedding couples want a sleek, elegant wedding, but for others rustic is more beautiful.
The key is to remember that rustic doesn’t have to mean unrefined. You can still have a gorgeous dress and a reception that is the envy of your friends, even if you opt for a country theme. You don’t have to wear camouflage, flannel, or gingham to get that rustic feel!
If you and your groom want that country feel, here are a few ideas to help you create a rustic look without feeling like your wedding is being held in a barn.
- Choose earthly colors. Chocolate brown, forest green, straw, and other colors that are found in nature are the perfect setting for a rustic wedding. Avoid colors that are rarely found in nature.
- Use straw wreaths as a basis for decorations. You can add in your own wedding flowers and the straw will immediately give off that rustic feel.
- Hire a band instead of a DJ. Most DJs want to play traditional dance music, but if you go for a band, you can look for one that specifically covers country and bluegrass music.
