RUSTIC CHIC WEDDING IDEAS

By LaFleur Magazine

If you are planning a rustic chic wedding, start by bringing in the natural surroundings and colors of the season. If you are planning a rustic chic wedding in spring or summer months, styling details should include natural berries, greens from the outdoors, and a softer color palette such as blush. Blush Peonies and Ranunculus are perfect to arrange with rose stems and swags of natural greens. If you are planning a rustic chic wedding in autumn, deep yellows, rust, greens, and oranges will pop amongst the outdoor scenery.
To host an unforgettable rustic chic outdoor wedding, opt for a dreamy venue with unique character. A historical white farmhouse, surrounded by idyllic, white fencing and sprawling grassy lawns, or a barn with wood beams, rustic swings, or even an outdoor park with tall trees and large branches (just right for hanging twinkling lights, chandeliers, or mason jar lanterns). Rustic chic weddings are a mix of elegant and rustic. To complete the wedding day look, mix outdoor elements into the overall wedding design by enhancing the natural surroundings. Details such as Pendleton blankets, antlers, refurbished barnwood pieces, natural floral arches, and rustic tablescapes are ideal.
Plan to arrange and style tables with wood crates, pieces with aged patina, rustic woods and natural elements. Remember, it’s important to create that chic look with hints of gold, mercury votives, glass and other lux decor.
For a rustic chic wedding, long farm-style tables are on trend and also provide seating for at least 6 guests (with options of seating more). Add a bench to one side for a more casual look that also provides extra seating for additional guests, or children.

Dress up a rustic farm-style table with wood cross-back chairs. Depending upon the stain of your table, you can find cross-back chairs to coordinate with your colors and theme. For a dressed-up reception, set the long farm-style tables with china, a full set of flatware and linen. For a dressed down, more casual affair, consider food truck catering.

Another chic wedding trend, is customized stemless champagne glasses for the bridal party. Foxblossom offers customizable options in rose gold, gold, and silver with monogramming for an ideal rustic chic wedding accent.
Tips for Planning A Rustic Chic Wedding
To bring together a rustic chic wedding celebration, set tables with both rustic and chic wedding detail (remember, the key is a balance between rustic and elegant).

Here are a few tips to help with your planning:

Set long, farm-style reception tables with lux and rustic details such as mercury glass votives, wood slabs, antlers, vintage candlesticks, and organic florals arranged in a mason jar, barnwood or a birchwood pot
Design a rustic chic wedding cake with blush fondant flowers, hints of blush, champagne, and other neutrals set in front of vintage doors and arranged on wood crates and wood slabs
A vintage chandelier hung in front of vintage doors is a great backdrop for a photo booth or cake display
Arrange props in front of antique doors or a rustic wood backdrop for a photo booth displayed near the reception tables for a decorative statement
Rustic wedding details include natural wood floral arches styled with simple florals, antlers
Rustic chic furniture should be styled with antlers, natural woods such as birchwood, candles, planters, vintage signs, and wood crates
Wine barrels are a great option for staging around the ceremony and reception area
Chic wedding details include tall cocktail tables, silk or satin linens such as table runners, cocktail tablecloths, full-length tablecloths (hang completely to the ground), and mercury glass votives
