Like many brides, you desire to have a gorgeous rustic wedding this year. This style is incredibly popular, and there are so many ways you can capture the rustic feel. There are some staples of the rustic aesthetic that you absolutely must include if you want to achieve the rustic charm that so many people are after.
Faux burlap fabric
You really can't have a rustic wedding without burlap. You can use burlap napkins, tablecloths, banners, centerpieces, and more. There are about a million ways you can use faux burlap material in your rustic wedding, and they all can be great ideas.
Wood
Wood elements are another staple of the rustic theme. You can use cut-out wood centerpieces, cake stands, tables, and more. Raw wood is probably the best choice, but if you choose a stained wood, make sure it's a light color.
Mason jars
You really can't have a rustic wedding without mason jars. You can ask your baker to make mason jar-shaped cookies, put flowers in them as centerpieces, use them for water glasses, or cut out mason jar shapes for your thank you cards. Again, there is no wrong way to use mason jars for your rustic wedding.
Twine
Have you been to a wedding where almost everything is wrapped in twine? Well, that was definitely a rustic wedding. You can wrap wine bottles, the centerpiece vases, or tie up your packages for the favors with twine. It fits right into your design with its rustic charm.
String lights
Not only do string lights create a warm and intimate atmosphere, they also scream rustic charm. You can hang them from the ceiling of your venue, stick them in mason jars for an adorable twinkle, or use them as a backdrop for photos.
Rustic weddings are seeing a substantial rise in interest. In contrast, searches for traditional style weddings in banquet halls have been flat for the last 14 years. Most "rustic wedding" searches come from the United States. If you are one of the many brides wanting a rustic feel for their wedding, then try to incorporate faux burlap fabric, wood, mason jars, twine, and string lights. Remember, though, it's your day, and you can do whatever you want!
