If you like the simple life and a rustic wedding is your style, not to fear. It’s as easy as A, B, C. First, find your location. It can be a barn, a family members field or just the back yard at your Grandma’s. Next, remember to keep it simple. Rustic style is easy. Essentially you can use almost anything you have and is in nature. From long communal wooden tables with colored canning jars and in season flowers like daisies as your centerpieces to as elaborate as hanging a chandelier in a barn. Always use candles, whether it’s in your canning jars, in groups or on wagon wheel chandeliers. Next, make sure you have plenty of seating. Whether you mix and max your chairs for an eclectic look or you match them for a more traditional look, make it fun. You can use ribbon, hay bales(throw a blanket or family quilts over them), burlap in a number of different ways (as chair ties, favor bags or even table runners) and lighting. Lighting becomes very important, especially once the sun goes down. So be sure you plan ahead. Be creative with signage, use old windows frames and glass and don’t forget draping. Draping can transform any room, even a barn. Use pieces of cut wood or even barrels in creative and fun ways. Or bring in older pieces of furniture to give an area that “homey” feel. The skies the limit with your creativity.
Whether you are simple rustic or elegant rustic, have fun and show your personality. After all, this is your day and everyone wants to see your personality shine through. Those little touches will leave lasting memories for years to come.
Happy Planning-Mary
