How To Choose Your Rustic Wedding Colors

When you think of a rustic wedding, the first thing that probably springs to mind is color.  Rustic wedding colors are usually inspired by nature, and more specifically often feel like fall. Cozy tones of burnt orange, modest blush and even teal are all colors that can feature in a rustic wedding.

Of course, you don’t want to base your wedding theme around a single color. Instead, you want to choose complementary colors that inspire your design choices and create a feeling, known as a color palette. For rustic wedding decor, a color palette of earthy neutrals, inspired greens and a pop of vibrant organic tones is best.

Taking inspiration from warm summer evenings, the autumn leaves, or the fall harvest, look for a color palette that sets the perfect mood for your rustic wedding.

Decorations and Floral Arrangements for a Rustic Wedding

While not every rustic wedding will look the same, there are some features and decor that help set the scene for your big day. No matter where you choose as your wedding venue, the key to a rustic wedding is choosing decor that feels abundant and textural.

This could include floral arrangements at the entrance, wild and wonderful chair decor, or overflowing centerpieces at your reception tables.

Another idea is to take cues from your venue and choose decor pieces that help create a narrative and inspire a warm feeling. For example, if you’re getting married at a farm, don’t shy away from using bales of hay or those bright red wheelbarrows and styling them as decor. Sometimes, the most mundane objects can make for the most unique, rustic wedding decor!

Unique Ideas for Your Perfect Rustic Wedding

No matter whether your wedding is going to be large or small, the purpose of a rustic wedding is to laugh and celebrate with your loved ones. Some of the best ideas for a rustic wedding are those little moments that ground you, and remind you of the real reason that you are there.

Consider a non-traditional entrance to your wedding reception, like riding in on a horse or even a tractor! Slipping into work boots can make for a cute, rustic wedding photo op, as could a barefoot run through the fields. To keep the party going, an outdoor bonfire could also be a great idea for a cozy, rustic wedding.

When it comes to decor, natural and textured elements like twine and raw wood can help enhance your rustic wedding theme. Don’t be afraid to forage for wildflowers or greenery, either!
