Wedding Ideas

I love wedding decor. There’s always a certain central theme: boho-chic, classic and traditional, edgy and modern, or eclectic. Then, there’s rustic wedding decor.

Rustic wedding decor is all about a fusion of quaint rustic country charm with the timeless elegance you’d expect to see in a wedding. These results are often as startling as they are lovely.

You’ve got wood tones, cozy comfort, and soft, mellow colors thrown against dark vintage accents. You’ve also got lace, flowers, and gorgeous lighting to play with.

It all comes down to just how you use colors to make traditional elegance look elegantly rustic. How? You use warm caramel hues, lush olive greens, comfortable navies, and mustard or tan pops like you see in this tableau.

Wedding Decoration Ideas And Inspiration

When you’ve got a wedding theme going on, every last detail, including the seating cards, is essential. But who needs plain old seating cards at a wedding? You can have take-away souvenirs instead.

When the bride and groom are standing up there at the altar, they’re all but framed by it. It’s almost as important as the actual walk up the aisle to it.

With that in mind, check out the hexagon arbor at this wedding. Quirky and fun, the hard angles can be softened with the right florals.

It’s almost like they’re part of the woods they belong to. You can’t tell where the woods end, and where the wedding decor starts!

Talk about taking rustic to an extreme, but okay, it looks pretty cool. Throw in a cactus or two for the wedding florals, and you’ve got yourself some wedding decor!

But for now, look at the woodwork on top of the cake. Wooden “Mr & Mrs” cake toppers, like the one you can find right here, are a creative statement piece, much like the wedding cake itself.

Look how sassy that bright yellow lemon is, hanging from the aisle chairs. I wonder why we don’t have more lemon-themed weddings.

They add some much-needed color to the decor. Here’s an idea: why not pair lemons with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary while you’re at it?

You can wrap some white fabric around it, tie it to the chair and enjoy the lemons that life—and this wedding—gave you.

Isn’t that the perfect backdrop to a wedding dinner? The dark, gleaming wood is offset by these vintage metal lights, pulling the dark notes into the light.

You have plenty of delicate crystal dinnerware, too, to balance the hard edges of that wooden wall. But it’s clear that this wedding decor leans towards the rustic.

That being said, you can still find the oddest hint of urban decor from the metal lights and the paint finish you see on the backdrop. Whatever’s going on, it’s lovely, isn’t it?
