HOW TO CREATE A RUSTIC WEDDING

Rustic styled weddings are still going strong with couples coming up with inventive ways to personalise their big day! From hand-painted wedding signs on old wooden pallets to locally sourced favours of honey with bespoke labels.

VENUE

Imagine your wedding in a candlelit barn or a woodland wedding in the great outdoors. The setting for your wedding can really help to bring your theme alive. For a contemporary twist on rustic how about a tipi wedding? If your wedding is in a more traditional setting, swap the standard round tables for long tables & benches for a more laid-back feel.

FLOWERS

Flowers are a wonderful way to give your wedding that rustic vibe and if sustainability is important to you ask your florist about flowers which are in season and locally sourced. Use foliage to fill the gaps between large pastel roses to create that “messy” rustic feel.  Complete the perfect bohemian rustic look with a flower crown to match your bouquet, nothing says boho more than wearing flowers in your hair.

CAKE

It’s not a wedding without a cake. The naked cake has seen a rise in popularity with couples over the last couple of years. Partially covered in buttercream for a natural rustic edge & adorned with fresh flowers to match your bouquet, who could resist?!
