Happy summer! It's officially wedding season, and rustic weddings are becoming more and more popular. If you are looking for a rustic wedding theme, there are many easy tips and tricks to create the perfect rustic wedding décor for your event. Whether it's you or someone you know getting married this summer, the tips below will help make your dream a reality by creating the perfect rustic wedding.
1. Use Natural Objects as Place Card HoldersGet creative and incorporate a rustic theme into your wedding by adding natural touches to the place card holders. Pine cones make an easy and rustic place card holder, while adding pine branches to each paper adds a visually pleasing touch. Cutting slits in a birch or aspen branch allows many place cards to be held at once. This technique would also work for holding programs, menus, you name it; the sky's the limit!
2. Re-purposed Wood for DisplaysThere are many ways to re-purpose wood to display items in your rustic wedding. A few examples are using old crates to display desserts, using an old wooden board as a welcome sign, or taking a pallet and turning it into an itinerary display.
3. Incorporate Burlap into Wedding DécorBurlap is one of the easiest ways to style up your rustic wedding, and it is also one of the most versatile. Burlap combined with lace can be especially beautiful. The ways to utilize burlap in a rustic wedding are virtually endless, but here are a few examples: table runners, bouquet wraps, and rustic wedding invitations!
4. New Uses for Old Mason JarsMason jars have proven to be a tried and true fixture in weddings for a long time, and they certainly serve their purpose when incorporated into a rustic wedding theme. Using mason jars as flower vases can be especially beautiful, whether as ceremony décor, or as reception table centerpieces. If your wedding will extend into the evening, mason jars used as candle holders can add rustic elegance to any event.
5. Use Old Wine BarrelsWhether you're looking for a creative way to display old photos or to set up the bar, old wine barrels can really bring together your rustic wedding theme. They can be used to dress up your ceremony by holding flowers, or they can be made into tables at the reception to hold photos, desserts, and more.
