Rustic Wedding
A Wedding that Feels Like Home
Private Family Farm, Littleton, NC
A rustic wedding is relaxed and warm. It’s defined by farm fresh florals and farm vibes.
Wedding Venue
Choose a venue that is on a farm to make guests feel like they stepped into someone’s backyard party. For your grand entrance, you can even rent a set of double doors to put at the end of the aisle.
Wedding Stationery and Signage
Stationery and signage should feature lots of flowers and feel hand-drawn to emphasize the relaxed, at-home vibe of the wedding day.
Wedding Attire
For your bridal gown, choose a simple gown that’s easy to walk and dance all night in.
Bridesmaids should be in springy dresses that match the flowers in your bouquet. For the groom’s and groomsmen attire, go with a khaki suit to match the laid-back vibes. Top it off with cowboy hats to add to the country, rustic aesthetic.
Wedding Flowers
When choosing flowers, go with eclectic mix of flower types all in bright colors, handtied to give it more a relaxed feel. Bridesmaids bouquets should be all white to stand out from their bright dresses, and boutonnieres should feature flowers from the bridal bouquet.
Wedding Event Spaces
Have your ceremony outdoors on the farm so that it truly feels like you’re throwing the wedding together in your backyard. At the altar, use a wooden triangular arch as a backdrop with large floral sprays that match the bridal bouquet.
Moving into the reception space, opt for a large white tent to ward off any potential weather challenges. Use a mix of wood farm tables with white cheesecloth table runners for the wedding party and family, and round tables with white tablecloths for your other guests.
For the table setting, opt for something more relaxed like a gold leaf placemat , white plates, and gold flatware. Centerpieces should be a mix of bud vases with homegrown flowers, taper candles, and floating candles to keep a relaxed, yet bright, atmosphere.
Wedding Guest Experiences
Wow your guests with a cool backdrop and lounge furniture setup for awesome photos.
If you’re on a working farm with real animals, create custom feed bags as favors for your guests to enjoy during cocktail hour.
Wedding Cake and Desserts
For your cake, choose a simple white cake decorated with the same flowers that are in the bridal bouquet. You might even choose to have a dessert bar with other options if guests want something more casual than wedding cake.
A rustic wedding is perfect for couples who prefer a more laidback wedding and want a backyard, at-home vibe on their big day.
