Rustic style wedding is tenderness and originality in one bottle

Rustic style wedding is suitable for romantic people. The design of the ceremony should be identified with the simplicity of lines, unpretentious decorative elements and the absence of luxurious accents. If a decision is made to create just such a ceremony, it should be understood that ahead not an easy task: it is necessary to show that simple and to some extent rough things can be elegant and beautiful.

Brief description of the rustic style

When you first see the design of any ceremony or interior in this style, you can decide that this is not rustic, but even a light Provence. However, it is not. more strict when choosing elements and decor. It does not use ruffles, bright prints, semi-antique surfaces, ethnic motifs. Only natural materials, natural color palette, natural fabrics.

The basis of this wedding style is the following concepts:

as a place where the ceremony will take place, the best choice would be a park, a forest edge, a meadow with a pond, a restaurant in rustic style or cafe, country house or log cabin;
In any fishing line, even the smallest, there are a couple of suitable places
from materials it is worth paying attention to wooden beams, live moss, burlap, glass containers for flowers and candles, chintz, flax, twine, hay;
The materials will be required natural and relatively inexpensive, so it will not be difficult to find them.
natural flowers are preferred from plants: cute daisies (preferably not the big ones that are sold in flower shops, but field ones picked in the natural environment), cotton flowers, lavender, cornflowers, ears of wheat;
The main landmark is wild flowers
as the main shades, it is desirable to choose beige, ivory, sky blue, yellow, pastel green, brown and, of course, white.
Shades, like materials, should be natural

Also, the following principles are important:

Rustic is not just based on natural materials (wood, branches, etc.). In it, they are used practically without any processing, in a pure, pristine natural form.
Raw hemp, logs, uneven overgrown arches - all this is very appropriate.
In the manufacture decorative elements allows some carelessness, but disorder and chaos is not welcome.
Crystal glasses can harmonize well with a vase made of raw wood with bark and moss
It will be appropriate to make with your own hands not only decorative elements, but also jewelry for the bride.
One of the most popular homemade jewelry is the bride's wreath of fresh flowers and herbs
Decorative elements should be a little rough, but at the same time beautiful and graceful.
Rough, but very original plate stand

This style cannot be expressed in separate accents or things. Rustic must be fully embodied: from the groom's boutonniere to the manufacture of arches and decoration of the premises for the celebration.

How to choose the right place?

A rustic wedding is, first of all, a marriage registration, which should take place on the road. Of course, the best option would be to hold a celebration in nature: a quiet forest edge, a clearing in front of a lake, an open field with whole heaps of hay. This is very romantic, but it also has the other side of the coin: the choice of an open place presents a certain risk, since weather can present an unpleasant surprise in the form of rain or strong winds. To insure, it is recommended to build a tent or awnings from the rain.

Ideally, if there are a couple of gazebos nearby, where you can hide in case of bad weather and continue the holiday

Although a similar canopy is quite suitable

The ceremony can only be held outdoors during the warmer months. If a rustic wedding takes place during the cold season, you can choose a country house or a restaurant. For the ceremony itself, you can use the terrace, and for the celebration - a large hall, where there is a simple, without unnecessary luxurious elements. It is best to choose those rooms where the design is made of stone, brick, wooden beam or saw cut.

When choosing chairs and tables, one should be guided by the basic principle of rustic style: the use of natural materials. That is, we choose wooden pieces of furniture. It would be best to get folding chairs.

Idea!

Use small stumps instead of chairs. However, it should be ensured that their surface is clean and the guests do not get dirty.

Also, not ordinary wooden tables will look original, but their likeness from large wine barrels. The barrels will be the base, and a wooden covering can be arranged on top.

Snacks or sweets are usually placed on such tables.

As for such an important element as the bride's bouquet, it is important to consider the following features. The bouquet should be slightly careless, disheveled, as if you just picked these flowers on the field. Preference should be given to dahlias, cornflowers, chamomile, bluebells, lemon balm, for a greater emphasis on naturalness, you can fasten the bouquet with linen or twine.

Rustic wedding invitations.

Rustic wedding invitations are best designed on textured paper, for example, choose designer cardboard. For brave couples, there is an opportunity to realize their most interesting ideas and issue invitations on the bark or log cabin of a tree, which will certainly look very original.

Arch at a rustic wedding.

The accents of nature did not bypass the arch, which can be decorated using flowers, tree branches, foliage and needles, and fabric. The decor is well complemented by garlands that you can make yourself from glass jars, as well as old doors, a cart, barrels and other objects long forgotten by us. Hay covered with a fabric (for example, burlap) will perfectly replace ordinary chairs - during check-in, guests need to sit on something! But the basis will be wood and floral decoration.

How to dress for a rustic wedding?

The bride's outfit should be simple, straight, creating a light, airy look. It should be noted that the dress may not be traditionally wedding, it would be appropriate here. Short dress or at all summer sundress from natural fabrics.

As for the hairstyle, here it is worth dwelling on loose hair that will be blown by the wind, or a large braided braid.

The image of the groom is different from what we are used to seeing. Suspenders, a shirt, a hat, especially a straw one, moccasins, a bow tie will be relevant. The boutonniere can be made from burlap, dry or fresh wildflowers…

And now let's look at all this on the example of a particular rustic wedding!

Summer is the best time for a rustic wedding in nature. I share with you an example - a beautiful and very warm photo shoot wedding ceremony In the countryside.

The bride and groom (Lindsay and Stephen) planned this celebration for a long time and very carefully. To begin with, they decided on a place. It was decided to hold the ceremony in the suburbs, where Lindsey often visited in the summer in her childhood. Beautiful landscapes have become the main decor of the wedding!

Making it magical holiday not without the help of the team from wedding agency. Together with Lindsey and Stephen, all the details of this celebration were thought out. They decided not to limit themselves to one day of celebration and organized a whole weekend. We rented several houses for guests to stay and thought of some fun activities: barbecue on the beach on the eve of the wedding, for girls and shooting training for young people. Our heroes really wanted to arrange a holiday not only for two, but also for family and close friends. And they did great!

many elements wedding decor were made by designers by hand especially for this ceremony. For example, the arch under which the wedding took place was made of ordinary logs and decorated with fresh flowers.

And what original look transport they chose! It is worth taking note of these ideas. Of course, if you also prefer nature to the bustle of the city. Rustic wedding is for you.

Weddings on a specific theme are increasingly replacing the traditional type of celebration. If you want something original, but without too much pathos, pay attention to the rustic style. It is characterized by an atmosphere of home comfort and warmth, rustic furnishings, natural shades, naturalness and simplicity. If all this is to your liking, then a rustic wedding, the photo selection of which is presented in the article, is exactly what you need.

Color palette and decor

To properly arrange such a celebration, you should know that the color scheme should be within the natural shades. Give preference to: beige, white, pink, gray, blue, green, etc. Sand and cornflower blue, rich green and cream color blend well in contrast. As accents, you can use the following shades: terracotta, marsala, mustard, etc.

Decorating a rustic wedding involves the use of simple materials. This allows multiple businesses using a minimum of finance. But behind this simplicity, one cannot lose the solemnity of the holiday, and therefore remember the main decor ideas:

Use lots of flowers at your wedding. It can be various field or artificial flowers similar to them: chamomile, cornflowers, bluebells, lavender, poppies, buttercups and others. You can also take gerberas, chrysanthemums, some roses as a basis. When forming bouquets to decorate arbors, tables, and a rustic bridal bouquet, you can create a slightly casual composition, as if it had just been assembled, by tying everything with twine or a strip of linen.
Play with paper decorations. With your own hands, you can make funny holiday garlands, decorate flowers or decorate tables. Paper is a budget option decor at a wedding, but to make it very cheap (but not angry), you can use it again. Use old books and diary entries. This gives a certain antiquity, which also corresponds to the rustic theme.
In continuation of the "old" theme, do not forget the details that bear a slight imprint of time. In grandmother's attics, cute little things that will be appropriate at a wedding have been gathering dust for a long time. You can artificially age things (chairs, tables, even glasses of young ones) using the “shabby chic” technique. By the way, you can find out more information about on our website.
As for the fabric for the design of the rustic wedding ceremony venue and the area where the photo session will take place, give preference to burlap, canvas, linen and lace materials. The table of the newlyweds is draped with the same fabrics, as well as decorating the hall.
The photo area can also be decorated with hay, dry meadow herbs that exude an incredible aroma. Bales with this filling will look original as a background even for decorating a ceremony in nature.

Important! Rustic wedding design does not tolerate shiny, iridescent materials. Such tinsel against the background of natural decor elements will look ridiculous and funny. You can see successful design options in a rustic style in the photo:

Time and place

A feature of the event in the spirit of rustic is its versatility, because it can be arranged at any time of the year. Where to hold a wedding if it is in the summer? It is best to make it somewhere in nature in a tent, in a forest in a village house, on the sea or even in the country (for a budget type). There must be some kind of canopy to protect from rain in case of bad weather. If the celebration falls on a cold season (in early spring, autumn or winter) and is held in a restaurant, then it is enough to add a touch of country style to the design of the hall to match the theme.

As for the place of the marriage ceremony, it is best to conduct it on fresh air. It could be outside registration in a forest clearing, in a park, by the sea, etc. The arch at the wedding is decorated with natural materials (flowers, branches, fabrics). But instead, the rustic style allows you to make a simple background of garlands, or even install old doors as a symbol of entry into new life. You can also pick up a suitable sprawling tree, decorate it and use it as an arch. Such eco examples are suitable for those who want something unusual.

Invitations and gifts for guests

Rustic wedding decor includes invitations and bonbonnieres skillfully decorated to match this theme. Invitations are made from textured designer paper or cardboard. For decoration, use lace, dried flowers, sticks, buttons in natural shades. But bark or log cabin will look even more original for these purposes.

Be sure to compliment your guests. This is a small gift in the form of a bag or a box with sweets, but it can also be a jar of jam or honey. In addition, handmade soap will be appropriate, beautiful souvenirs in a rustic style, etc., which will leave warm memories of a wedding in a rustic theme.

Images of the groom, bride and guests

The rustic style is good because you should not think too long about the images of the newlyweds. The bride's dress should emphasize light and gentle image, in it the girl should be like a field breeze. As a style, a straight line is suitable fitted dress in flowing fabric, with an open back and lace embellishment. You can also choose a knee-length model in combination, for example, with openwork summer boots. Winter or autumn wedding suggests the presence of warmer things: a knitted cape or fur coat, as well as boots. Vintage accessories complete the rustic look, and the hairstyle can be decorated with a wreath of fresh wildflowers. The makeup of the bride should be gentle, as natural as possible. We prepared examples of the image in the chosen style on these photos:

The groom's suit doesn't have to be classic. More suitable for rustic direction casual, free and light image. Combine sand and sky colors, pick up original suspenders and a vest. Even a straw hat and boots can be present in the image. But the image at the wedding turns out to be lively, cheerful and unusual. The boutonniere is made in the spirit of the bride's bouquet (dry flowers, heaps of linen or burlap).

In the rustic style, despite its simplicity, there is a certain dress code for those invited to the wedding. But you shouldn’t be too smart about how guests should dress. Bridesmaids often wear similar dresses (at least in tone) or completely the same. Guests must wear natural fabrics. pastel colors. The groom's friends should also not be in strict suits to match the style of the future husband. Give preference to vests, plaid shirts, moccasins, hats.

The nuances of the script and the wedding cake

Since a rustic wedding is more of a European type, a ransom is not accepted here, although it is not excluded. The morning of the bride and groom begin, of course, separately. They gather, prepare, and a photo session of these gatherings is held in parallel. And then the groom comes for the girl. One car for two takes them to the place of marriage registration or they can travel separately, as they do at weddings in Europe. To the music, young people exchange rings and agree to marriage. After that, a photo session takes place in nature and in other places, depending on the wishes of the newlyweds. Then everyone goes to a banquet, where the host has already prepared entertainment and contests based on the rustic style (something related to the countryside, nature). As for music, it can be country, jazz, folk, and it is better that these are live compositions.

Script ends as usual wedding cake rustic or . There should not be any special confectionery delights, pompous decorations, etc. It will be enough biscuit cakes with delicate milk cream, with the addition of fresh fruits, nuts and honey, powdered sugar. The cake should be simple, but made from natural ingredients in delicate pastel colors. Accents can be sprigs of mint, lemon balm, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, etc.
