A rustic wedding theme is a popular choice if you wish to create a relaxed, laid back vibe for your event. It’s a theme that is simple, nature-inspired, and reflects a strong love and appreciation of nature.

To confer a relaxed charm and romantic atmosphere to your event, select your decor from natural textures such as wood, burlap, moss and wild flowers. Your color palette should favor earthy tones to help you bring your theme together beautifully!

Although it’s possible to have a rustic wedding venue in a reception hall, the theme will lend itself perfectly to a barn, farmhouse, or outdoors amidst tall trees on a beautiful lawn. A venue in the forest works just as well creating more of a rustic woodland wedding theme.

To stay true to your theme, the bridal attire should be kept simple. You’ll want to stay far away from a formal dress code. For the bride and bridesmaid, nothing will work with your theme better than Boho style dresses!
