In the wedding industry, ‘rustic’ weddings are related to the great outdoors or countryside, either through a romantic al fresco venue or by adding nature-inspired themes into the event. With the shift towards less over-the-top weddings, rustic weddings are getting more popular with contemporary brides. It could involve up-cycling of everyday things, such as mason jars, watering cans and simple wooden crates into the reception setting, making it inexpensive and timeless. With simple and casual details, this versatile theme surpasses trends and is easily adaptable to the couple’s taste, style and preference.
While one of the most important things to consider when planning a rustic wedding is its location, you don’t have to limit yourself to the outdoor settings. You can easily get the same rustic feel by incorporating vintage architecture or restored historic buildings into your special day.
